Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi says the legislation replacing AUKU must not restrict students and academics through alternative means.

From the original report

He said the debate should move beyond whether AUKU should be retained or abolished, as the government had already decided to repeal it, and instead focus on the legal and governance framework that would replace the Act.

Zahid said universities should be given greater autonomy, accompanied by measurable accountability in areas such as learning quality, graduate mobility and research impact.
