Offering the Mara-sponsored student who was found with 30,000 child pornography material a \u201csecond chance\u201d to study is unacceptable, unfair and appalling, say activists.<\/p>\n

They said Mara had taken tougher action on its students locally for far smaller offences and there was no need for double standards in this case.<\/p>\n

Muslim Youth Movement of Malaysia president Amidi Abd Manan said allowing Nur Fitri Azmeer Nordin (pic), 23, to continue studying in Mara institutions was unacceptable.<\/p>\n

\"nur<\/a>\u201cThere have been previous cases of those found cheating and even playing truant who have been dismissed by Mara. These offences are obviously not as serious as what Nur Fitri did,\u201d he said in a statement.<\/p>\n

He added that what Nur Fitri needed was guidance.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe should be rehabilitated to fit into our mould to make it easier for him to live a normal life,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

A student leader who himself was punished for an offence was also irked by Mara\u2019s move.<\/p>\n

Fahmi Zainol, the immediate past president of the Universiti Malaya Student Union, said double standards exist in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt looks as if there is a bias when evaluating offences committed by students. What is the criteria in assessing the seriousness of \u00adoffences committed by students?\u201d asked Fahmi, who was suspended for two months and slapped with a RM600 fine for organising a talk by Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim at the campus.<\/p>\n

UM law lecturer Azmi Sharom questioned why Mara was \u201cbending over backwards\u201d to help Nur Fitri.<\/p>\n

\u201cPaedophilia is a very serious crime and a person should therefore serve his punishment. As for his future, it is really his responsibility. I do not understand why Mara is bending over backwards to help someone, especially someone who has committed a crime this heinous,\u201d he said, questioning the value systems of Malaysian education institutions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
