FMT: Look beyond yourselves, university prof tells academics

“The problem is that these people are thinking of it as a job instead of thinking of it as their calling,” he said. 
“You’re an academic. You hold the country in your hands and you can change the direction of the country, but you don’t realise that. 
“All you care about is your own financial state, but everyone is concerned about that including the ‘pisang goreng’ seller. 
“What makes you different from the ‘pisang goreng’ seller? You’re in a position to change the country, he’s not.”
