The Ghost of UUCA

The ghost of UUCA is clouding our consciousness again. I look into many statements from student leaders, politicians and individual who found the fates of 4 UKM political science students; they arrested during Hulu Selangor by-election; they are been threaten. The freedom is declining further, as Malaysia recently the members of the Human Rights Council. Does not matter if we are sitting or not sitting in the highest human rights institutions, if none compliance upon our dignity and rights, thus, Malaysia is no different than any others human rights abusers within or without the membership of Human Rights Council. I lucidly say, Human Rights Council is losing its credibility and ineptness over human rights woes across the world.
Back to the case recently, they were allegedly expressing support over Pakatan Rakyat campaign, therefore, they were caught with campaign materials in their vehicles. According to them (oppressors), they are deserts to be under UUCA.

Who are the oppressors? For certain, they are Khaled Nordin, Sharipah, and Barisan Nasional government. They speak cogently on the towering personality and first class university all the time, but practically, they have no idea of what they are talking about. They are charlatans. It is up to us to defends or let the freedom and democracy disappear gradually. Quite some time, I observes many of us campaigning seeking their justice through Facebook, blogs and congregates submitting memorandum to SUHAKAM. I also observe, solidarity among the students groups are intact and united against despicable of UUCA. I believe the more pressure and tense the government put on us, it will never dilute and defeats our purposes.

How unfortunate, they are deaf and mute when it comes to freedom, democracy and the rule of law. I wonder whether university destines for regulation or market place of ideas to be questions and debates. Regulation is bad in nature. It hobbling our thinking, movements, ideas and emotion towards certain of time and subjects. Worst, university is running under the guise of mercenary thinking! We are unable to express vehemently in the way of, while prevailing justice and democracy. We have the ideas to share with the others, but somehow, the regulation seems restrict us to be bold. No guts to admonish them prior to level of sensitivities and seditious.

Thus, we are unable to be critical in questioning and beseeching the ultimate truth. That is why; I want UUCA to be abolished. For me, I mean, UUCA is define as cynical regulation, which was designed to create fear and concedes that the enforcement went very well since then. Best to describe, the song in Animal Farm (1972) by George Orwell ran with;

For that day we all must labour,

Though we die before it break;

Cows and horses, geese and turkeys,

All must toil for freedom's sake.

The periods of aggressive national student movements in late 1970's, it has turned dull and dissipating to some of the faiths and foundation which used to be firm and adamantly. The voracious and the momentum of the movement we witness and read in 1970's is very difficult to rejuvenates because the needs and the willingness of many of us, apparently inadequate and divided to many self interest, although SMM was formed to accommodates various stakeholders clinching its victory; students and peoples power.

Nevertheless, we remains fit and survive to look for askance beyond UUCA. We are very confidence to advocates the abolish ISA, Printing Acts, Emergency Ordinance and more. Education through civic awareness is pertinent task to empowering society particularly youths to defend and promotes their rights. We are promulgating the Federal Constitution to be subjects in Malaysians thinking. The more understanding and consciousness they have, the more power they have to make a difference in the future. We are continuing renews our pledges and commitment for a better Malaysia. Protesting is not the subjects matter to student movements, I think, critical thinking shall be part of the quality of the individual and their associations.
