What does he mean "the harms he has called to (his) academic colleagues"?
How about an apology for championing genocide and colonialism?
I have removed the post below for the safety and well-being of my colleagues at the University of Malaya, whose leadership has responded to a student outcry. The quote from my keynote address reflects my views alone. I regret the harms I have caused to my academic colleagues.

Universal programs provide benefits which accrue to society. It's a complete mistake to see everything in individualist terms and as if it's just a private cost. The logic is exactly the same as underpins Medicare and public schools. It's the opposite of private school funding.
Personally, I don't understand why taxpayers are subsidising childcare costs of families earning $500,000 a year either. Nice, sure. But necessary? But here we are (and same people who rage against private school funding are fine with it)

I'm sorry but the concept that God can be "offended" is projection. Who's interested in a deity who gets upset about what's on tv?
The Olympic opening ceremonies’ blasphemous mockery of the Last Supper must be condemned not because it is culturally insensitive but because it offends God. Let us pray in reparation and for conversion.
