Soh Sook Hwa Found Guilty

BREAKING NEWS: According the report from the Malaysiakini.com, the disciplinary board of Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) today found 22-year-old final year journalism student Soh Sook Hwa guilty of breaching university regulations over her involvement in the March general election campaigns.

The five-member panel presided by deputy vice-chancellor Assoc Prof Dr Jamaluddin Mohaiadin issued a stern warning and a fine of not more than RM200 against Soh. The actual amount of the fine will be decided later.

The decision was made during a 90-minute-long disciplinary proceeding held in the Penang-based university this afternoon.

Soh, who is also USM Chinese Language Society president and former student representative was said to have campaigned for Parti Keadilan Rakyat vice-president Tian Chua in the Batu parliamentary seat during the general election, which he eventually lost.
