Shafie Salleh

Shafie Salleh

Shafie Salleh is a Malaysian politician and former education minister of Malaysia. He is a strong advocate of the racialist ideology of "Ketuanan Melayu" and the exclusion of non-Malay from certain institutions of higher learning.

At the 2004 UMNO General Assembly, Deputy Permanent Chairman Badruddin Amiruldin waved a book on the May 13 Incident, warning: "Fifty-eight years ago we had an agreement with the other races, in which we permitted them to menumpang [reside temporarily] on this land. ... Let no one from the other races ever question the rights of Malays on this land. Don't question the religion, because this is my right on this land." Then Higher Education Minister Shafie Salleh also declared at the assembly that non-Bumiputras would never be permitted to enter the Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), which is Bumiputra-only: "I will not compromise on this matter."
