Withdraw Disciplinary Charge on UUM students Immediately

We/I from ______________, oppose the action of UUM authority for charging three students, for practising his rights as student and a Malaysia citizen, to set up an online petition to gather students’ voices on the UUM bus fare issue and giving his opinion on somemone at his blog.

2. We/I strongly feel that the disciplinary charge should be withdrawn because:

• Choo Kok Wei and Medecci Lineil Repong have done nothing wrong. They were trying to help the students to voice out their unsatisfaction towards the policy and showed it to the authority.
• Freedom of expression should be preserved in a democratic campus as stated in Article 19 of Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and Article 10 of Federal Constitution in Malaysia.
• They have shown a role model by concerning in campus policy and tried to gather the opinions of students to help improve the university.

3. Students as one of the stakeholders of a university should be given opportunity to monitor every contract or affairs that are related to the campus and especially to the students. Thus, any changes in the service should involve students’ opinion and thoughts so that the policy will do good to the students. Students should be encouraged to show concern about the university policy and give their opinion freely. The charging of Choo Kok Wei, Medecci Lineil Repong, and Tengku Mohd Hasrul bin Tengku Malek is a retrogression of democracy in UUM.

4. We/I urge that UUM authority:
a) to withdraw disciplinary charge from the three student immediately.
b) to open the contract between UUM and UNIC to the public to show that there is no conflict of interest in this issue.
c) to preserve the freedom of expression of the students as stated in Article 19 of Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and Article 10 of Federal Constitution in Malaysia, and uphold campus democracy..

Yours faithfully,
