Don works on despite pressure
KUALA LUMPUR: Prof Datuk Dr Muhamad Zohadie Bardaie is said to be carrying out his duties as vice-chancellor of Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) despite pressure to step down from office.
A UPM source told Bernama that Dr Muhamad Zohadie was at work yesterday.
Despite the media spotlight on his position over the past two days, the atmosphere at the UPM management level was normal, the source said.
Dr Muhamad Zohadie said he was not ready to make any statements on the issue.
“Why don't you ask UPM chairman (Tan Sri Dr Zainul Ariff Hussain) on the issue, it's difficult for me to say,” he said.
Dr Muhamad Zohadie said keeping mum on the issue was one way of defending himself.
He refused to say whether he had been formally directed to relinquish his position from the UPM board.
The issue surfaced when newspapers reported on Monday that the UPM board had pressured him to step down.
The board decided to call for his resignation last Wednesday following an emergency meeting without his presence although he is a senior board member.
It was reported that Dr Muhamad Zohadie was not invited because the meeting was called to discuss action against him as he was alleged to have soured ties between UPM and the Higher Education Ministry. – Bernama
