A Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) student leader has defended a gathering which was held in a surau and attended by both Muslims and non-Muslims: http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/281128
Transformasi Mahasiswa UUM president Ahmad Fitri Mohd Ramly said the students were forced to organise their gathering inside the surau after they were prohibited by the university administration from holding it on campus.
While admitting the students had ‘overlooked’ the issue of decorum in the prayer area, he defended their decision.
