Asia Pacific Academics Conference (APAC)
First Announcement
Asia Pacific Academics Conference (APAC)
University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
9-11 July 2012
Co-organized by
Malaysian Academics Movement (MOVE/GERAK)

Introduction
Meetings among higher education staff unions and associations in the Asia Pacific region are very rare. The last meeting being the Education International (EI) 5th International Higher Education and Research Conference held in Melbourne, Australia in December 2005. Even on an international scale, we only have the Caucus on Higher Education and Research during EI Congresses. The last EI congress was held in 2010 at Cape Town, South Africa.
Due to this factor, collaborations and networking among the unions has been rather weak. In order to change this situation, this conference was organized as a meeting among academic staff organizations in the Asia Pacific region.
The University of Malaya Academic Staff Association will be celebrating the 50th anniversary of its formation on 3 March 2012. It is the oldest academic union in Malaysia. This conference is to be part of this celebration.
This conference is co-organized by the Malaysian Academics Movement (MOVE / GERAK) and the University of Malaya Academic Staff Association (PKAUM).

To discuss about the current situation in the various countries and university campuses and provide solution for the problems.

To buildup a network among academics in the Asia Pacific Region
Call for participation
Participation is open to academic and tertiary staff unions and associations. Individual academics, researchers, students, administrators and university officials are also welcome to participate.

Academics rights
Trade union rights

Peristiwa Tahun Baru 2012 di UPSI
Kenyataan Media 6 Januari 2012
GERAK ingin merakamkan rasa terkejut dan sedih akan peristiwa pertelingkahan antara pelajar dan polis di Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI) pada dini hari tahun baru 2012. GERAK merasa sangat kesal akan pengaliran darah dalam peristiwa tersebut.
Berbagai tuduhan dan tomahan telah dilancarkan terhadap para pelajar dan anggota polis yang terlibat sehinggakan susah untuk mendapatkan gambaran yang sebenar. Para pelajar menuntut hak yang termaktub dalam Perlembagaan Malaysia dan konvensyen antarabangsa. Pihak polis pula dikatakan mengguna kuasa untuk menjaga keamanan.
GERAK menuntut ditubuhkan satu suruhanjaya siasatan diraja (Royal Comission Of Inquiry) untuk menyiasat peristiwa Tahun Baru 2012 di UPSI. Selain dari mencari kebenaran dalam peristiwa tersebut, hak pelajar dan kuasa polis harus juga dikaji semula dan diperhalusi. Ini agar semua pihak menjadi arif terhadap hak dan kuasa masing-masing. Peristiwa sebegini tidak patut diulangi lagi.
GERAK juga menuntut SUHAKAM mengadakan satu siasatan awam (public inquiry) terhadap peristiwa ini.
Bagi pihak GERAK,
Prof Madya Rosli H Mahat
Setiausaha Agung
Pergerakan Tenaga Akademik Malaysia (GERAK)
