The University of Malaya Student Union (Umsu) has called for a reconciliatory meeting today in a bid to resolve a stand-off with the university’s vice-chancellor Abdul Rahim Hashim over the latter’s remarks at the recent Malay Dignity Congress.

The attempt at reconciliation came after student activists Wong Yan Ke and Edan Kon Hua En attempted to stage protests against Rahim at the university’s graduation ceremony yesterday.
