UUCA forum

It's feels great to serve in drums for CF yesterday! The practice really went very well and I'm feeling lots of improvement in myself already. I could do some high-hats tip-tapping easily now along with the rest of the worship team..hehe. The CF drum is quite limited with only one cymbal where the crash and ride is combined together but I'm glad I could make the best out of it..lol. During dinner, it was pretty funny when somebody actually tampered with Kelvin's coke can and when it was opened, it started spraying juice across the table much to the sudden amazement by the whole table. For a moment, I thought somebody was toasting champagne..haha.

Anyways, we had this University and University Colleges Act forum today at one of the lecture theaters. As you've known, the UUCA is meant to make university students in Malaysia to be docile animals..lol. Uhhh..I had difficulty following the first two speakers because their language proficiencies are rather inadequate but I kinda have an idea what they were talking about. I disagreed a little on the first speaker's notion that some authorities think that students are too dumb to get into politics. Rather, they know that unis are potential birthplaces for radical movements. If you look at history, especially at the 20th century, most awareness movements stem up from the universities. The founding fathers of Southeast Asian nations like Sukarno, Tunku Abdul Rahman, Lee Kwan Yew, Jose Rizal and Aung San all had their awareness of politics and nationalism awakened in their universities days. They definitely know the potential threat that uni students could pose (especially disobedient and rebel law students..haha), so the UUCA is being enforced especially during Dr M's time to silence these bunch.

Haha, I didn't know that one of the Inti law lecturers, Mr Aru, is actually a DAP politician. He's also an elected state assemblyman in the DUN. Lol, his speech was the most entertaining and it was straight to the point. The definition of students becomes complicated when one considers about working adults who do part-time studying, overseas students, masters or PhD pursuers. Are they gonna get blasted by UUCA too? What about BN clubs in the UK?..hahahaha. One amendment that was made in the UUCA this year was that students would not be charged under the criminal penal code but instead, is left to the Uni's disciplinary board to suspend. Slight improvement, but more must be done to ensure that potentials of the universities don't get bogged down by politics. The UUCA over the years had certainly achieved its aim to some extend in creating generations of students who are blissfully ignorant of the political situation in the country until recently. Anyways, it was overall an informative forum although it would be nice to have more student participation.

Lol..btw, I'm kinda intrigued by the Word Challenge game in Facebook. I can't seem to stop playing it..hahahaha..
