Netizens on Twitter took some time during the week break to celebrate Malaysia Day but some did not miss the opportunity to ask the ‘ahli-ahli akademik’ whether they too were on leave.
In 2008, after Anwar Ibrahim suggested that Sept 16 is to be proclaimed a public holiday to celebrate unity in Malaysia, some profs made comments this was a ruse by Anwar to gain popularity.
They also said it was not necessary to have a holiday because it will cause losses to the country and will not be ‘productive’. Today, Sept 16 is a big holiday in Malaysia!
