TANJUNG MALIM, Nov 6 - Educators, particularly lecturers and teachers, should pass on knowledge based on facts including correct historical facts, so that what is delivered is acceptable to all levels of society, said Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim.

The Information, Communications and Culture Minister said this group should recognise accurate facts through research and not deviate from acceptable facts.

"Our country has almost 60 universities that have produced renowned academicians, leaders and so on.

"If a culture of gathering and stating facts does not exist in us, we will be a confused people. That is why we must value facts. The way to this is through research and using facts that are regarded as acceptable in our arguments or presentation."

He said this after the presentation of the 1Malaysia students discount card (KADS1M), launching of a cross-campus programme and attending a minister mentor-students get-together at Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris, here, Tuesday.
