Donald Low: The Controversial Professor Who Apologized




Donald Low, a senior lecturer and professor of practice at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, has been making headlines for his controversial Facebook posts.

In one post, Low accused Pritam Singh, a member of parliament, of lying under oath. In another post, he made false allegations about Rahayu Mahzam, a minister of state. Low has since apologized for both posts and has taken them down.

The Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC) has said that Low's Facebook post on Singh's trial was in contempt of court. The AGC has not said whether it will take any further action against Low.

Low's posts have sparked a debate about the role of social media in public discourse. Some people have argued that Low's posts were irresponsible and could have damaged the reputation of the judiciary. Others have defended Low's right to freedom of speech.

It is important to note that Low's posts were made in a personal capacity and do not represent the views of his university. However, the posts have raised questions about the boundaries of academic freedom.

Some people have called for Low to be fired from his university position. Others have argued that he should be allowed to keep his job, but that he should be more careful about what he posts on social media.

Ultimately, it is up to Low's university to decide what action to take against him. However, the debate about his posts is likely to continue.

Low's case is a reminder that social media is a powerful tool that can be used for both good and bad. It is important to be aware of the potential consequences of what we post online.

Do you think Donald Low should be fired from his university position?
