the wave of the Bersih rally

The so called rally to uphold democracy is set to be held on the 9th of July. Yet without approval of the police and of certain NGO's, the president of Bersih 2.0 Ambiga is determined to continue the so claimed "for a clean election gathering". Their demands were on 8 issues altogether.

Utusan, TV3 ,TV1 is recently airing and portraying a view that people is against this rally,to convince people that this rally is no longer relevant, and to also show to everyone its illegal.But yet they forgot that this rally is being supported by a number of university students. This is clearly proven via the famous social network of facebook. Most of the law students,I know is supporting it. They even put a bersih logo beside their profile picture, as a sign that they supporting the Bersih campaign.

Students should also be aware that, if they are caught joining such activity as this one, they could be expelled from their respective universities and colleges. Maybe i would opined that, its not yet the time to be messing around with such event. As we all know, university students are subjected to the University and Colleges Act, while Uitm students are subjected to the so called special Act 174. So its up to you to decide. A friend told me, maybe you can join the rally just to "know how it goes".

Ambiga in itself also should realize that to held such assembly would require her to get a permit from the police. She should know that it is illegal to do so without a permit, as she is a lawyer. I believed she did know that. The thing is that she knew the police would not approve it. But the stupidest thing that they have done is to refuse for the assembly to be done at a stadium. I could understand that maybe perhaps with an open walking rally they would have much more attention , and can be more easily be heard, but such act could freeze and disrupt our economic activities.

I believe to do such reform,there are better ways to do it. Furthermore, I agree that the media and the press is being dominated by the ruling government. But yet, today politically the opposition has their own newspapers. Since Utusan supports the ruling party, and not giving any space to the opposition to raise their views, it is also the same to newspapers such as Harakah and Malaysiakini. In addition they have several alternatives to begin with, which i believed they have been smart to utilize it. The said alternative are blogs and the facebook.

But perhaps, their intention is noble, which is to upheld a clean election. I believe the election is pretty clean. The only thing which is dirty is the way the government handles the nation's revenue and a certain policy.

I would also suggest that to improve our election, we need to make it compulsory for everyone to vote. And also that there is an automatic registration.

Yes. reformation needed for our education system

This morning i browse through a section in the New Straits Times. It attracts me so much, as to agree to what the author is saying. The author is proposing that our education system is hectic and lack of fun. This is seen via the Malaysian practice of giving student a bulk of homework, and in addition sending them to tuition classes. And the author did also make a comparison between local and foreign graduates, via his experience as a human resource officer in conducting interviews. It is in his view that local university students are lack of soft skills. In other words they are scared of bringing their opinion forward for others to hear. Yes. I agree that for the time being, most of them are lack of soft skills. It is very important for them to realize that they have been given a bigger chance, when they are destined to continue their higher learning locally. This is because in their own homeland, they have a privilege to lead student communities and organizations, at their respective universities. They are also given a chance to represent their universities at international events, which the other group( which are being send abroad) cant have. Speaking as a local university student, I would say that our higher learning institutions is indeed pressuring students via the courses which are being made compulsory, where that course dont even relate to their career. But in my view, perhaps this would make a particular student to excel as a whole. Maybe it is better for us to put it this way. Hardship before success. Be at the bottom, before you reach the top. It doesnt matter whether you are studying abroad or locally. It is just that you need take your chances and be ambitious. P.S Selamat Hari Raya Maaf Zahir Batin =)

Let the nation's butterfly take off

I'll be seeing more of my friends to take off soon. Yesterday i witnessed a friend of mine, depart from our beloved country, as a JPA scholar. Soon more are going abroad. Definitely i'll be there to witness that historical moment. My friends and I were planning to have a trip to Manchester one day, but that is after Kua and Syawal is already in the United Kingdom. To be specific this plan was made by Fazul and Kamal. We are planning to save a couple of Ringgit for the 2 way tickets.By the way, tears from the heart might go down soon, in seeing them depart. But never mine. While they embark their respective journeys, me myself embark an experience of my own. Recently my car experience a broke down, have moved to our new home, and i've also been awarded as an SC scholar. It worries me a lot, as they put high hopes and expectation. It requires me to maintain high grades and also to be active in societies and activities. So, i was thinking this semester to join the mooting competition, so that i could embark my own new journey, but im scared that it would effect my schedule. But i need to do so. Hopefully it sharpens more of my legal skills. A new thing to learn. Someone use to say to me, be in the best in what you do. =)

It 's always a fresh new start

"A fresh new start".... I would always say those 4 words to myself, after a new semester has come to signal that it will soon kick off. The 1st semester was a challenging one, and now the 2nd semester might be tougher. No longer living in college, instead living in an apartment that we have rented. Expenses are expected to increase like an angry hurricane. So now financial management is very essential and is very required to achieve comfort. Class will abruptly start on the 5th of July. So its time to sit back, and scribble a book with what lecturers would say.
law school is tough, but even the girl in the legally blonde movie can win a case. so can we. The golden key that i have discovered from my previous mistakes are that we need to extremely prepare early. Preparation is priority. And do enjoy. =))

oh yeah one more thing, i wish i could buy this thing down here. It will make my life easier and more luxurious. haha Please please.

Pelajar UiTM perlu berubah- bergroup membenci orang adalah tidak wajar

Memetik isu hangat yang melanda saudara Saiful Izan yg melepaskan kata-kata yang agak ekstrem terhadap Universiti Teknologi Mara, "Universiti sampah",telah menyebabkan tertubuhnya satu group facebook untuk membenci Saiful Izan. Di atas tekanan dan kebencian tersebut, akhirnya dia memohon maaf dan "group" tersebut telah di"delete" dr laman facebook.

Melihat kepada tindakan drastik utk menubuhkan group sebegitu, menyebabkan saya berasa begitu terpanggil untuk mengkritik tindakan ini. Saya tidak bersetuju, dgn tindakan mewujudkan group-group spt ini, kerana caranya adalah salah.Ini menunjukkan betapa kita bersifat berpuak-puak.Mungkin kita kena melihat perkara ini dari skop yg lebih besar. Mengapa Saiful berkata begitu? Mungkin masyarakat di luar sana telah mula mengstereotaip UiTM.Kita lupa kepada 2 frasa perbezaan yg penting apabila melibatkan universiti-universiti di Malaysia. Kualiti ataupun kuantiti. Namun saya tahu, Saiful tidak patut membuat kenyataan yg sedemikian, walaupun mempunyai hak sekali pon. Saiful tidak tahu akan kelebihan yg ada pada UiTM.

Tetapi tindakan membuat group untuk membenci Saiful Izan itu, menunjukkan seakan-akan kita orang Melayu ini terlampau sensitif. Apa yg sy maksudkan adalah, perkara yg kecil pun diperbesar-besarkan, sedangkan kita boleh membuat perbincangan face to face utk menyelesaikan masalah ini. Disamping itu, tindakan utk mewujudkan group spt ini memberikan tanda seakan akan kita telah merajuk. Sebagai satu universiti yang ingin mencapai standard tersendiri, kita tidak boleh merajuk, kerana ini menggambarkan satu bentuk kelemahan.Orang akan berkata "typical malay". Bagi saya ini adalah memalukan. Kalau kita nak jadi Melayu, biarlah Melayu yang berintegriti, dan Melayu yang bertunjangkan agama. Kita anak Melayu lupa akan agama, dan kalau siapa menjejakkan kaki ke UiTM, jgn terkejut kalau anda terjumpa sekelompok org Islam yg tidak menunaikan solat 5 waktu pun. Memang ada.Ini satu perkara yg kita perlu ubah. Mungkin orang ramai mula untuk menghakimi UiTM melalui akhlak pelajar-pelajarnya.

Mungkin Saiful Izan tidak faham akan peranan UiTM sbg benteng orang Melayu. Pada mulanya saya terkejut dgn kursus-kursus yg ditawarkan di Uitm, di mana kadang-kadang sy rasa sbg "nonsense". Tapi apabila diteliti akan apa yang mereka jalani dan pelajari, sbg cthnya perhutanan dan perkayuan, sememangnya kursus-kursus ini berbentuk praktikal dan menyeluruh, disamping kursus-kursus ini boleh dikatakan sbg "abiding" dgn pasaran kerja. Kadang-kadang apabila diteliti dgn elok, kursus-kurus ini adalah world class dan unik. Mngkin ini benda yg saiful tidak faham, kerana dia bkn dlm UiTM. Mka dia tidak tahu apa yg terjadi.

Kalau betul kita hebat sudah lama kita bersama sama dgn scholar2 lain utk ke oversea. tetapi kebanyakkan kita kecundang di SPM. dan uitm telah memberikan peluang kedua kpd kita. ambil la peluang ini. dan jadila insan yg bersyukur. sama2 kita improve.

Ini hanyalah sekadar pendapat persendirian saya. Satu pendapat yg bimbang thdp universiti tercinta.
