What have You Done to Make a Better Change?
By Kow Kwan Yee
A strong leader or powerful leading organisation being desperately needed within a big community is not something to be taken lightly.
Members of the community would decide a common will that serve their general interest. Thus the leaders chosen by the community are expected to be representatives of all.

活动议程与目标由拉大制定 学生代表会是拉大傀儡

(金宝25日讯) 在学生代表会 (Student Representative Committee / SRC) 名义下所主办的活动,原来部分已经由拉曼大学制定议程及目标,SRC的角色只是依照目标,完成所定下的议程。
应届学生代表会主席陈毅胜,在接受J-On记者专访时如此表示。他指出,SRC并没有机会参与策划类似的活动,一切皆听从拉大的指示。
他说,SRC的成立主要是给予拉大生一个管道,向拉大管理层反映学生的要求以及帮助学生争取应有的福利。
在SRC任职的这段期间,让他了解,身为一名学生的力量也许比SRC主席更大,至少不必被人操控。
另外,他也指出,一切有关校方管理层及财务上的问题,校方的宪法上已限制SRC是不可涉入探讨的。因此,有关学费、校园停车场收费等金钱上的问题,他们的确爱莫能助。
对于任期即将届满的他,在自我总结过去的表现后表示不满意。其原因是他认为自己不能为拉大生争取更多的福利,例如要求豁免健身房收费。由于涉及金钱,校方已拒绝受理。但SRC仍然在争取当中。
最后,他希望拉大生可以更加关注、参与及响应SRC的活动,因为SRC的最终力量是来自于学生。
“我宁可以拉大生的身份在后支持SRC,也不会再竞选SRC的职位了。”应届学生代表会主席陈毅胜表示。

两届SRC主席 见解不一 护学生挺校方 各持己见
出任于上届以及应届学生代表委员会(Student Representative Committee / SRC )的主席林嘉怡(20,生物科技系)以及陈毅胜(22,公关管理系)在针对有关学生代表委员会和有关学生正面对的问题作回应时,可说是各持己见。
林:之前办过拉大晚宴(UTAR Prom Night),让各个不同科系的学生相互认识,并让他们知道学生代表委员会的存在。还办了提升安全意识的活动(safety campaign)、金宝拉大歌曲创作比赛。我们也成功让校方建设脚踏车棚和增加食堂椅子。我们也曾经要求设录音室,以及西湖家园学生宿舍通往拉大路上搭棚,以方便学生上下学,可是遭学校以绿化环境为前提而拒绝。
陈:我们会续办有关国庆的一些活动, 以唤醒学生的爱国情怀。然后办一些对学生有益的讲座。至于, 还在申请的就是费除重读(Repeat)、持续重考(re-sit)政策和要求豁免健身房收费。还有就是我们建议举办电脑展(PC fair),不过这计划还没开始实施。
问:SRC所面对的难题?
林:其实,学生可以找学生代表委员会成员协助他们写信,然后交给DSA 处理。或通过学校内部网(intranet)进行投诉。不过,校方有绝对的能力去查出投诉者的身份。
陈:目前,除了通过学校内部网,很多学生通过面子书(Facebook)进行投诉。但是,很多人没有善用自己的权利,就是善用feedback form。此外,电子邮件(email),或直接联络学生代表委员会也是常见的方法。

槟雪地方政府要求选举;选委会全盘否决

(布城24日讯)选举委员会于今日全盘否决槟州及雪州民联政府恢复地方政府选举的要求。
选委会主席阿都阿兹今早11时在布城召开记者会,并以受到地方政府法令约束为由,正式宣布选委会无权执行地方政府选举,更声称地方政府选举早已在1965年被取消。
第10及第15条文约束
选委会是援引1976年地方政府法令的第10及15(1)条文,强调本身受到法令的约束。
第10条文列出,州政府必须委任的地方议员的身份和条件,其中第10.1(b)条文规定,不少过8名或不超过24名的市议员必须被州政府通过委任方式推举。
至于第15(1)条文则是中止进行地方选举的法令。
中止举行地选473法令
选委会指出,由于受到地方政府法令15(1)条文的限制,它无法赋权举行地方政府选举的473法令,因为该法令里头所有有关地方政府选举的条文已经被废除。
另外,选委会表示,若要恢复地方政府选举,就必须首先被全国地方政府理事会(National Local Council)接纳通过,并修改相关的法令。若通过修法后,则必须在全国同步恢复地方政府选举。

《中国报》总编辑负起全责停职两周
(吉隆坡19日讯)在内政部昨日宣布不会对付《中国报》,只交由馆方采取内部纪律行动后,该报今日刊登道歉启事,并且宣布该报总编辑张映坤对全国总警长慕沙哈山呈辞的新闻,负上全责,即日起停职两周。
《中国报》是在3月13日独家报导,慕沙哈山已经向希山慕丁呈交辞职信,获得纳吉和希山慕丁的接纳,将会在本月25日第203周年警察日之前正式离职。
不过,希山慕丁却在3月15日突然改口证实,警队高层将进行改组,而涉及者包括即将于今年9月约满卸任的慕沙哈山及4名退休的部门总监。
《中国报》2010年3月13日封面题为“警总长呈辞”的报导,经内政部长拿督斯里希山慕丁和警察总长丹斯里慕沙哈山否认后,证实与事实不符。
3月16日,本报回复内政部发给本报的“要求解释信”,获得内政部接受。

My University, My Home – not.
By Chin Poh Nee
Imagine this – you are at the cafeteria during peak hours. The place is packed, and you’re trying to look for an empty table to sit at. Finally a group of students leave a table, and you have a place to sit. You put your bag down only to realize that the table is cluttered with plates used by the said group of students. Hungry and impatient, you have to clear the table yourself by carrying other’s dirty plates to put them in the designated basin.

拉大生吃饱不收碟 屡见不鲜

(金宝18日讯)拉大食堂经常出现一个现象,即部分用膳者吃饱后不收碟子。
J-on记者日前前往拉大的C楼食堂观察时发现,很多学生吃饱后就拍拍屁股走人,留下一堆碗碟没收。桌上的食物残渣更造成其他想要找位子坐下的学生,不知该如何是好。
他说:“我自己常常会觉得很不好意思。然而,C楼食堂分别由四家不同的业者经营,这让我们觉得很混乱,有时想要收也不知道该把碗碟放在哪里。”
一名不愿透漏姓名的食堂员工向J-on记者表示,学生吃饱后没收碗碟虽不会造成太大的问题,不过他还是希望学生可以培养收碟的习惯。
