UUM has increased its bus fare recently without consulting opinions from various parties involved. This has led to dissatisfaction especially among students as they are the ones who use the bus facilities.
A student named 朱国伟 (Choo) has started an online petition to gather signatures to express their dissatisfaction over the price increment as University should not burden students during this economy downturn. When the petition was submitted to the Vice-chancellor, Choo has been prosecuted under University and College Act.
What the hell!!! Choo is not against the government, neither is he against the university or whatever. He was just voicing out the dissatisfaction over bus fare increment. How could the university charge him under University and College Act? That is ridiculous! Totally absurd and crazy.
Youths in Malaysia are politically and socially apathetic and this is a sad thing. Choo is the paradigm of today’s University’s graduates. He possesses the quality as a a real university undergraduate – dare to speak out for the interest of community and society.
Choo’s act should be lauded instead of suppressed. I express great disappointment toward the top management of UUM for being over-reactive towards the petition submitted. Now we have every reason to suspect that maybe the contract signed between bus company and university might have something ‘wrong’. Now the university is urged to publicize the contract details (but I bet UUM will not publicize, we already knew what is in the contract, it is just the same thing like PLUS highway contract or other highways contracts in Malaysia).
Anyway, I strongly condemn such a malicious attack towards a supposedly-laudable act.
朱國偉作為一名自發發動網上聯署，來表達意見的北大生，不但不應該受到任何對付，反而應該得到嘉賞。在目前年輕人普遍上對社會冷漠、不關心社會發展的當兒，他作出這種自發性的行為是個典範，而不是罪犯
