Get laid-off academics back

PASIR GUDANG: Local universities should take the opportunity to hire Malaysian academics retrenched by foreign universities.

Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Khaled Nordin said many Malaysian academics currently serving in foreign universities were expecting to be retrenched due to the recession in several developed countries.

He said local universities could benefit from this by employing these academics.
