00:02A scene said to be overly suggestive in a play at a theatrical performance at University Malaya
00:08was more of an oversight by the two student actors involved,
00:12says Higher Education Director General Azlinda Azman.
00:16According to Berita Harian, Azlinda said the ministry has received a report on the incident
00:21and that UM will take further action.
00:24She said the students appeared to have been overly excited during the performance
00:28and in doing so, overlooked cultural norms and sensitivities.
00:33Still, she said the university must also bear responsibility by being more sensitive to such situations.
00:41Azlinda said, this is where universities should play a role in guiding and counselling students
00:46on the boundaries they should not cross.
00:49She stressed that creativity should be nurtured,
00:52but within the limits of Malaysia's cultural norms and values.
