The National Professors Council was recently in hot waters after the Auditor General’s Report on GLCs found that nearly RM374,000 of the council’s funds were misused to finance companies owned by members of the board of trustees. To address this, there have been a suggestion to merge the council with think tanks, though academics feel this would just bury the scandal. We speak about this with Zaharom Nain, Deputy Chair of GERAK.
