[KiniNews] Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim criticised US academic Bruce Gilley for his pro-Israel remarks and called him a “mediocre scholar”.

“A mediocre scholar who should not have been brought as a visiting professor in the first place,” he said.

He was commenting on the Portland State University’s political science professor’s accusation against local politicians of advocating for a “second Holocaust against the Jews” during a speech at Universiti Malaya on April 23.

Meanwhile, in a separate story, former MP N Surendran has panned Umno Youth chief Dr Muhamad Akmal Saleh over the proposal to make mastery of Bahasa Melayu a prerequisite for obtaining Malaysian citizenship.

Terming the proposal as “lacking logic”, he said Malaysian citizenship is determined at birth and depended on the nationalities of the parents.
