Dear Late Mr Teo Beng Hock

Within activists circle, personally the death of Beng Hock was meant more. More than a loss to his family. More than a loss to his comrades. He was fortitude against the unusual wicked force of reinforcement institutions. Many of us firmly have prevalent prejudices toward the credibility of justice institution. Sceptical, illogical and racist outlined by several questionable witnesses in media controlled government are separately adrifts from the alternative media sources.
The main lesson from the incident is the rule of law must prevails. Any democratic country, law enforcement should unfettered from the interference of wield of power (executive). Fetter the enforcement institutions renders the complicity in the 'suicide' of Beng Hock. His persistence, bringing up to better society should be remembered. As new activist, I pay my highly respect to the late Teo beng Hock and his family. Condolences
May God Bless Mr Teo and his Family.

LONG LIVE DAYAKS

Abdul Hadi Awang was reported from MalaysiaKini, 11 of July "semua pilihanraya kecil sebelum ini keputusannya memihak kepada kita. Cuma di Batang Ai sahaja kita kalah sebab mereka ini tidak reti undi, pakai cawat lagi. Saya bukan nak hina tetapi yang pakai molek, undi PAS"
This is another attempt to undermine the sake of Dayaks. Point of view, Hadi earned precarious living as Muslim politician. Pathetic statement of pious Muslim leader Hadi is absolutely repudiated by the Dayaks. Literally speaking, he demonstrates no mutual respect in multiracial, prosperity nation and seems failed to acknowledge the cultures and our civilization. Apart of it, as a long run politician, he should know such remarks is implausible. I believe that such remark will impeding their pave way to shaken off current government ans supplant them with new hope, if they succeed. Conversely, their remark only lead to chimera dream for the next State Election. Dayak political leaders reaction of Hadi's statement are tempest here, Sarawak. There is no state of requisite for me to illustrates each reaction from Dayak leaders. Too many reaction, too many action been taken including irrational burning the flags. The attitude apparently epitomized and win the mind of Dayaks interest, in spite of the fact that lacking of progressive, massive development efforts on basic necessities such as water supplies, electricity and wide communication, especially rural areas.
Perhaps, on the other hand, Dr John Brian Anthony, of Sarawak Dayak National Union (SDNU) rectification on fatal remark of Hadi should be pondered. Five decades of Independence, Dayaks, in the eyes of Federal Government 1Malaysia concept remain less significant than any races. Rhetoric to another rhetoric, we are wilt to bend our ear of deaf government. Dayaks are Malaysian. We aRe citizens of universal suffrage. We deserve to beneficiary every yield of public policies in the country. Nevertheless, in many aspect of living, yet Dayaks still 'sustainable low run' in modern Malaysia history. Hadi's remarks has been at the center of political controversy. I appeasing of no one. I have many respected comrades from diversity of races which all of us devoting, upholding democracy and the rule of law. All Malaysians must come together, preaching unity transcend the age of Mankind. If PAS chief unable to refuting miscontrueness among Dayak leaders prudently, I may assure them Dayaks low trust and lustre toward Pakatan Rakyat will irrevocable. Noting here, official apologize from PAS leadership at least appease the Dayaks. Again, Dayaks are not politically gullible.

恐吓?!


二十二年来,第一次遭到恐吓。而且还是来自大专生的口中(虽然是通过信息)。

信息里的字眼、“粗口成章”,这真的是出自一个在籍的大专生吗?简直不敢相信。

今天,终于领教过了此人的文化、道德修养。

很不明白,在这社会上竟然会有这样为一个校园新组织、新团体,想约见有心人而已的小活动老休动怒的人。没有兴趣大可以不去加以理会啦,干嘛要恶言相向干嘛动粗??

赖学长,告诉你,我不保留会到警局备案的可能性。对于你这种无聊的举动,吃亏的只有你自己。谢谢!

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,

______________

UUM Boleh!! Malaysia Boleh!!

For the latest now, we still haven’t get any information for what date of the hearing will be postponed to. It’s already the 6th day since the postpone letter received without any reason given. Moreover, the postpone is just given in the last minute which means a day before the actual hearing on 2 March. Why was it so suddently?? How can it be like that like playing games?? What happened actually?! Is this what we called “professional” management of an international university? Malaysia Boleh!!! Keep postpone and postpone just as they like. UUM Boleh!! Congratulations to UUM!! However, this is another success for us and believe the power when we all gathered together to give pressures on them!! We urge that UUM drop the disciplinary charge on 3 students immediately if there’s no reason for it!! They’ve done nothing wrong!!


Student Power!!

Chronology of the UUM Bus Issue

03/01/09
A bus company in Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) named Unic Symbol Business Sdn. Bhd. had released a notice about the upgrading of E-bus System and increment in bus fare starting on 17/01/09. Under the new system, two plans will be introduced:

1. RM90 plan: Unlimited times of bus riding for the whole semester. But matric card can only be used once in 15 minutes to avoid students from sharing a matric card.
2. RM22 plan: Contains 40 points, which means 40 bus rides. This is equal to RM0.55 per ride (one way). In this way, the bus fare has increased 37.5%, from RM0.40 to RM0.55 per ride (one way).

Remaining credits for both plans cannot be transferred to the next semester. The news spread fast and students were unhappy with the changes made.

12/01/09
Choo Kok Wei, Medecci Lineil and friends had set up an online petition specifically for UUM students at www.petitiononline.com/20090112/petition.html to gather students’ support as a protest towards the bus issue. Initially it was planned to be held for five days and then a memorandum will be sent to the Deputy Vice Chancellor, Y.Bhg. Tan Sri Dr. Nordin Kardi, Ph.D.

Before the beginning of the lecture, Medicci Lineil gave a brief speech in front of his course mates regarding the issue.

3. University has to be transparency in the contract with UNIC and also other contracts in the future, so that students are able to supervise it.
4. Students are involved in any decision making that are concerning the benefits of the students.

Deputy Vice Chancellor refused to reduce the bus fare to RM0.40 but university will review the rate from time to time. Remaining of the credits can be brought forward to the next semester. Deputy Vice Chancellor also ensured that voices of students will be taken into consideration in the future. But he refused to open the contract with UNIC to the public because it is confidential.
