(Bernama) - Former Information Minister Tan Sri Zainuddin Maidin has been appointed Universiti Utara Malaysia’s (UUM) Karyawan Tamu, effective March 1.

UUM vice-chancellor Tan Sri Dr Nordin Kardi (one-time BTN head) said the appointment was in recognition of Zainuddin’s contribution to journalism since he joined the field in 1957.

“We not only see Zainuddin as a journalist who obtained experience while working, but also as one who has formal education, and this combination will hopefully be beneficial to students at UUM,” he told reporters after the appointment ceremony here yesterday.

Dr Nordin said the recognition was not new for the university but showed how UUM had matured over 26 years since its establishment.

The event is held in conjunction with the 23rd UUM Convocation Day from March 27 to 29.

Meanwhile, Zainuddin described it as a big honour for him as UUM was the first university to appoint him Karyawan Tamu which would also help him produce more works in journalism.

“This is a recognition whereby, I can contribute to history, he said. Kedah-born Zainuddin, 71, was appointed Karyawan Tamu for a year.

The good Chinese, Indian and Others are all gainfully employed by private colleges or are doing well overseas. And stay clear of the pariah politics & looting which is Barisan Najis' culture.

Is it any wonder the Najis had no one but this mamak bodoh to appoint as VC?

My Dear Littlebird, we can see him here with an "erection" and his swollen forked tongue with a mouth full of pebbles for Al Jazerra.

Here he tells us that he doesn't know how to spell the word B-L-O-G-G-E-R-S, and tells us that Bahasa Malaysia is short of vocab and that its alright to steal some English words--He also tries to spar with respected LKS.

Have a good morning Littlebird!
Cheers!

This mamak fellow? He just cannot understand simple English. Where is Umno 3.5 million members?
Knowing how they bodo Umno members, yet they remain in Umno? What happen to us, Malays? Keturunan bodoh ke? Atau dibodohkan oleh Utusan, Berita, BTN?

Oh no.! Not him.!

My sympathy to UUM students !!! How can a person with deficiency syndrome be appointed to that position. Beneficial ??? Bullshit !!! If any , he would bring much discredit and disgrace to UUM. Bet you, the university's rating is bound to ditch down miserably. !!!

Malaysia is facing a serious drought of Intellectuals. Surely Malaysia is going into some Black Hole and oblivion. With such advances in bio sciences and technologies--UMNO is busy keeping all their political debris alive with taxpayers transfusions.

I am very sure Zainuddin will get an erection the moment he sees the plagiarist. He will also mark the number of times he has an ""erection"" with the few bottles of black ink he kept to sign UMNO cheques .Zainuddin kept it for posterity from the lots bought a few years back and sold it for a profit to East Timor.
Birds of a feather in plunder and disinformation of the Nation. He sure has a place reserved in Hades!!!!!!

Salam all,

Perhaps the very first paper TS Zainuddin can present is on PLAGIARISM!

Besides recognizing Zainuddin's contribution to journalism, is this also in recognition of his bombastic English?

Wow, what an honor? What's this university name again? I want to make sure my children don't go there!!! This appointment tells so much about the (non)quality of the university!!!
