My faculty is in a mess; it always has been but lately it has been totally crippled by political bickerings since my Dean is retiring. Sigh. Hence, all the better lects are leaving, and the less contributing ones are staying to aggravate the condition. I'm sick of making complaints; nothing much can be done since we students are not the ones electing who's staying and who's going!
Anyway, a radio hostshow had a discussion made on varsity students and their political capabilities. I can deny no more that varsity students are a fearful force, although they only make up around ?15% of the entire population. (Can't remember the exact number, but I think it is not more than 20%!) Still, they are currently being dilapitated by the 1975 Varsity and Varsity College Act (AUKU), which directly prohibits local varsity students to participate in or openly support any political party or their activities!
Well, there are a few main reasons for this, in my humble opinion.
1. The government realises and is aware of the potential and capability of varsity students in altering the political trend of the country. Our own archives have told us that varsity students are usually the forerunner of revolutionary movements in the nation and the society. For instance, Dr Sun Yat Tsen was a young graduate when he sparked the Chinese Revolution in 1911. It is no longer a myth that varsities are the cradles of new ideas and thoughts, and that the varsity students are a young dynamic force capable of inflicting changes. Hence, they are a pain in the butt to the government.
2. The political and socioeconomial state of the country is itself unjust and inflammatory. Local graduates, especially non-bumis are aware of their own plight; they have to sweat harder to secure an entry to local varsities because the route of entry is usually and only STPM. (Compare STPM and Pre-Uni Matriculation) Besides that, it is clear enough that government scholarships is PARTICULARLY given to bumis. Hence, unsatisfaction generates new innovative revolutionary ideas which may strike an impact to the government's so called New Economy Policy designed to create just and fairness in the country's socioeconomic profile.
I can't really comment much on these inflammatory sentiments, as it would attract the wrath of the Internal Security Act against me. Thus, I would not delve further in these issues. (Honestly, what's the purpose of bragging on these issues as we are so aware that we cannot do a fucking thing about it? Hail to Malay supremacy!)
Well, let's say if varsity students are given a chance to make a change.... I would like to... get rid of the stupid UPU. It's a fucking stupid idea. I think it entirely goes against free our own right for educationl. Hello? We pay for our education. I would shut up if it were free. So, why can't we choose something that we pay for? Utterly rubbish! Then, it would definitely bring more improvements for the local varsities as they have to compete within themselves to innovate. Well, it is time those stupid people (Vice Chancellors and their administrative staffs) stop shaking their balls/tits and start to think and work!
