Yes indeed it did. A group of UTAR students are planning to boycott classes next Wednesday, 28th July 2010, in the light of getting news (or rumours?) that they have to pay RM80 for half a year/per semester/per year (don't know which and don't care), and encouraging other students to do so.
Aren't they serious....
Get real mate. First of all, nothing's official yet. These are rumours, that happened to spread around like wild fire. Until this is official, please don't make a big hu-ha out of it. For all we know, it might not even be implemented.
Yes, there is a certain level of truth, or should I say fact:
(1) Students DO have to walk on the mud to get to their cars, hence getting themselves dirty and all,
(2) it is dangerous indeed to walk so far, especially in the dark,
(3) Rain doesn't help at all, hence point number 1,
(4) those with high-heels will probably suffer the most. I won't be surprised if some of them broke their high-heels 'cause they have to walk on muddy or (in some areas) stony path.
(5) probably the worst case scenario - YOUR CAR GETTING STUCK IN THE MUD. Yes it can happen, and yes it is easily understood about students' frustration of having to pay RM80 for all 5 shits.
However, boycotting ain't going to get you anywhere either:
(1) it's YOUR attendance being affected here,
(2) Lecturers and security ain't going to give two f's about you skipping class. They'll probably go "Oh. Skip lo. Nothing wan ma. Sendiri punya pasal."
(3) referring back to point number 1, you might probably miss important things during lecture. Why waste your time like this for something that's not official? Even if it is, boycott is really not an option.
Again, as long as nothing's official, PLEASE.DON'T.DO.ANYTHING.STUPID. As for bringing it to the media, well I'll leave it to the person who is daring enough to do so, to decide. After all, UTAR does deserve some kicking in the ass for all that's happening at the moment.
This is from the "Boycott page":
We can't tolerate anymore! Time to show our dissatisfaction. Enough is enough. We can't take it already. Car park not enough, motorbike parking lots not enough, bicycle parking lots not enough. Bus TOO little. How to go to school like this?
Car sticker RM100 per semester!
Motorbike stticker RM10 per semester!
Car fine RM20 for illegal parking!(always no parking lots even with sticker) Fine!
Motorbike fine RM10 for illegal parking!
(always hard to find parking lots no matter which block)
Fine!!
Bicycle fine RM5 for illegal parking????
(there is no place for us to park at all except those empty land)
Bus?? watch UTAR's faith la
NOW park on that dirty muddy Eastgate also need to pay RM80!!! SHOW THEM STUDENT POWER!
Every UTARIAN don't go school on 28 JULY 2010!!!

The Star Newspaper and MCA will be embarrased.
