Barisan Bertindak Perpaduan Melayu (BBPM) yang disertai lebih 250 pertubuhan Melayu pula mahu Pengerusi Perhubungan Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) Selangor itu memohon maaf secara terbuka kerana cadangannya menyinggung orang Melayu.
Pada masa yang sama, lebih 5,000 pelajar UiTM berhimpun di depan pintu masuk utama Bangunan Sultan Sallahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah, Shah Alam bagi membantah cadangan Khalid membuka universiti itu kepada bukan Bumiputera.
Perdana Menteri pada sidang media selepas merasmikan Pameran Pertanian, Hortikultur dan Agro Pelancongan (MAHA) 2008 di Serdang, menegaskan perkara berkaitan pengambilan pelajar UiTM bukan dalam bidang kuasa Khalid.
Khalid Ibrahim
"Itu bukan dia punya kuasa. Hal berkaitan pengambilan adalah hal berkaitan institusi pengajian berkenaan. Mereka yang tentukan dasar," katanya.
Ahad lalu, Khalid mencadangkan sekurang-kurangnya 10 peratus kuota kemasukan pelajar baru ke UiTM setiap tahun diperuntukkan kepada bukan Bumiputera dan pelajar antarabangsa.
Menteri Pengajian Tinggi, Datuk Seri Mohd Khaled Nordin kelmarin menyifatkan cadangan Menteri Besar Selangor itu sebagai satu penghinaan kepada orang Melayu.
Ketua Umum BBPM, Osman Abu Bakar, ketika dihubungi Berita Harian semalam pula berkata, cadangan Khalid jelas menunjukkan PKR tidak menghiraukan hak orang Melayu.
"Khalid perlu mohon maaf kerana orang Melayu tersinggung dengan cadangannya. Sebagai pemimpin Melayu, Khalid seharusnya mempertahankan hak bangsanya dan bukan membangkitkan kemarahan orang Melayu.
"Kami melihat cadangan Khalid hanya merugikan orang Melayu dan BBPM berharap kerajaan akan mempertahankan UiTM," katanya.
Osman berkata, pihaknya tidak berniat untuk menyekat peluang pelajar bukan Bumiputera, tetapi mereka mempunyai peluang melanjutkan pelajaran di institusi pengajian tinggi awam lain.
Presiden Persatuan Perpaduan Islam Malaysia, Datuk Zulkifli Ahmad, turut membantah cadangan Menteri Besar Selangor itu, yang menurutnya bukan saja tidak membantu bangsa sendiri, malah akan menyusahkan lagi orang Melayu.
"UiTM sebenarnya adalah peluang kepada pelajar Melayu dan Bumiputera miskin untuk melanjutkan pengajian di institusi pengajian tinggi. Kini Khalid mencadangkan supaya 10 peratus daripada kuota pelajar UiTM dibuka kepada bukan Bumiputera. Saya merasakan cadangan ini sungguh tidak logik," katanya.
Zulkifli berkata, Menteri Besar Selangor itu perlu sedar tidak semua ibu bapa di kalangan orang Melayu mampu menghantar anak mereka ke luar negara untuk menyambung pengajian.
Katanya, selama ini UiTM menjadi tempat pelajar miskin Melayu melanjutkan pengajian dan perkara itu perlu dipe

"Malaysian Climbs His Way into Record Books"
KUALA TERENGGANU: Taking life "one step at a time" is an alien concept to a man who prefers to take 51 flights of stairs at a time.
But Mohd Noor Mat Amin's punishing take on life may just get him into both the Malaysia Book of Records and the Guinness World Book of Records.The 41-year-old athlete, who is in the midst of conducting his Pendakian Merdeka 2008 feat in conjunction with the country's 51st Independence Day celebrations, has climbed up and down the stairwells of some of Malaysia's most iconic buildings.
On Wednesday, the Terengganu-born mountain climber who was part of the successful 1997 Malaysia-Everest Expedition, will complete the fifth leg of his nationwide feat by repeatedly climbing the stairs of the Kuala Lumpur Tower, one of the world's tallest.
In addition to honouring Malaysia on its 51st national day, Mohd Noor is also hoping to set a new record for the Malaysia Book of Records for the highest number of climbs in 24 hours, as well as entering the Guiness World Book of Records for 51 counts of climbing up and down the Kuala Lumpur Tower.

SPEEDY EATERS LIKELIER TO GET FAT,STUDY SHOW
LONDON (Reuters) - People who eat quickly until full are three times more likely to be overweight, a problem exacerbated by the availability of fast food and the decline of orderly dining habits, Japanese researchers said on Wednesday.
The findings, published in the British Medical Journal, highlight how eating styles, and not just what or how much is eaten, can contribute to an obesity epidemic fuelled by the spread of Western-style affluence in many parts of the world.
The World Health Organisation classifies around 400 million people as obese, 20 million of them under the age of five. The condition raises the risk of diseases like type 2 diabetes and heart problems.
For their study, Hiroyasu Iso and colleagues at Osaka University asked more 3,000 Japanese volunteers aged 30 to 69 about their eating. About half of the men and a little more than half of the women said they ate until full. About 45 percent of the men and 36 percent of the women said they ate quickly.
Those who said they ate until full and ate quickly were three times more likely to be fat than people in the "not eating until full and not eating quickly" group, the researchers found.
They cited as causes both the availability of cheap food in big portions and habits like watching television while eating.
To counteract the "supra-additive effect" of speedy or glut eating among children prone to obesity, parents should encourage them to eat slowly and in calm surroundings, the study found.
