They should also investigate and look for their own answers and not accept the claims blindly because they are intelligent enough to make an objective assessment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In searching for their own answers they should keep in mind the source of information that they use as reference. The source must be reliable enough to be accepted as an independent information giver with no hidden agenda.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Dato\u2019\u00a0Razali said they should make their own decisions when it comes to politics and should not also be easily swayed by sentiments, as this can lead to conflicts and jeopardise the stability of the country.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Conflicts in a nation, he said, can be brought about by differences in any one of the three factors: religious beliefs, ethnicity and territory.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But in Malaysia all the three elements are present and religious differences and ethnic tension can easily erupt if the people\u2019s sentiments are manipulated, Dato\u2019\u00a0Razali said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Vice Chancellor, Professor Tan Sri Dato&#8217; Wira Dr Sharifah Hapsah\u00a0Syed Hasan Shahabudin, Deans of Faculties and lecturers also attended the gathering.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/images\/stories\/Icon\/ukmnewsportal.png\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"border\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/images\/stories\/Campus2012\/MPPDatoRazali2.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/>\u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"border\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/images\/stories\/Campus2012\/MPPDatoRazali3.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TUESDAY, 11 SEPTEMBER 2012 16:36 By Shahfizal Musa Pix Shahiddan Saidi BANGI, 4 Sept 2012 \u2013 Students entering institutions of<a class=\"tukm-readmore\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/archive\/year-2012\/september-2012\/advice-to-students-no-shortcuts-to-success\/\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":7306,"parent":1290,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-7298","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/7298","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7298"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/7298\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7307,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/7298\/revisions\/7307"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1290"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7306"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7298"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
