Public varsities are finally stepping up measures to tighten security on campus after incidents of students complaining that their personal belongings had been stolen. In April last year, Universiti Malaya (UM) PhD student Fong Chng Saun had several electronic gadgets stolen from his office. His office building has CCTV cameras but the culprit has yet to be identified although footage of the burglar has been handed over to the campus security and police. The International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) law student who recently graduated promptly made a police report and informed the university’s security office and management. His friends have suffered similar fates and there are complaints almost every month to the campus security, he said.
