Yang Quote by Anwar Ibrahim
““Wacana mengenai budaya ilmu amat kritikal di negara kita. Kalangan yang sedar dan celik budaya harus lebih berani menzahirkan pendapat dan tidak membisu seribu bahasa. Keadaan umumnya memang tenat tetapi masih boleh dipulihkan. Dengan kedangkalan serta budaya picisan yang diterapkan oleh pimpinan negara dan media utama, suasana pastinya akan lebih gawat. Maka agak meleset jika harapan tertumpu kepada elit penguasa. Masih ada ruang meskipun amat terbatas untuk kita semarakkan semula budaya ilmu dan tradisi aqliyah.””
