Don't want to pay the IT Services Fee? Then voice out your dissatisfaction during the dialogue session with MMU President on the 9th of July!

Update (9/7/08): Venue changed to Main Hall



Dear all,

There will be a dialogue session between all students of MMU Malacca and the MMU President next week where the main topic of discussion would be the imposition of the IT services fee (RM100). Details of the session are as follows:

Date: 9th July 2008 (Wednesday)
Time: 9am
Venue: Main Hall

If you do not want to pay the fees or disagree with the imposition then we suggest that you attend this session and voice out your dissatisfaction. This may be the only chance for all students to make their opinions known so use it wisely. Come up with constructive suggestions and back you claims with facts and figures whenever possible.

Aside from the IT services fee issue, you may also bring to the attention of the President any other issues or problems that you are facing.

SRC excos will be present during this dialogue session to play our role as the representatives of the students. If, for any reason, you have questions that you might be reluctant to ask during the session, you may send it to srcmelaka@mmu.edu.my and we will ask the questions on your behalf.

We hope to see all of you there. Let us unite to make our voices heard!

Thank you.

I saw this statement at the Comment space.

Please refrain from using derogatory terms, name calling and any form of vulgar remarks when commenting. Such comments will be deleted on sight.

Why didn't the moderator delete the second comment by Anonymous? Aren't "idiot", "a.sshole", "s.hithead" (understood) derogatory enough?

Is there any bias?

Dear Allison,

I've deleted the offensive comments. Thank you for it pointing it out. I was a bit busy and did not check the comments until today. Sorry for that.

Having said that, I believe it would be better if you put forth your suggestions in a more polite manner rather than accusing others of being bias.

Hoping for a little bit more courtesy the next time around.

Of course there is bias!

First, the SRC is chicken so they deleted the message from the newspaper!

Second, there are a lot of comments using vulgar words in the other posts. Why do they let it happen?

Third, SRC is really non-sense. They think they are somebody, some kind of fighter for the students. In fact they are not.

Fourth, they deleted my comment which I replied to the person who used the word "asshole". And the rest of my comment is considered unfavorable to most MMU students who think they are so great because they are a graduate from MMU. So what? Use your degree paper as a toilet paper. What kind of standard does MMU have? These students are thinking in their tiny nutshell. Pathetic!

What power does SRC have to fight for the students benefits?

None! The SRC is just a puppet for MMU management to co-orchestrate the plans.

Look at the library fees. What did SRC do? Did MMU abolish the fee?

The library is a necessity. It is not a school without a library. The university has its obligation to setup proper library with up-to-date equipments and books. It is not the students duty to pay for setting up the library.

In Melaka campus, the seat ratio is about 1:15. That's mean 15 students are contesting for 1 seat in the library if we base the calculation by 10,000 students in Melaka campus.

MMU does not care about your eductaion. They care about their profits!

Lecture notes are plagiarized. Lecturers can't speak proper English. What kind of standard is this?

That's why I said, you can use your degree paper as toilet paper!

Why does MMU management need to propose and then let SRC to do the work of getting students' opinions and petition?

If SRC is so powerful, one protest from SRC to the management and they shall be quiet and scrap the plan.

A clever management will know that the plan is not viable especially at this economic crisis. Without the crisis, the plan will not work too as this is none of the students' responsibilities to contribute financially.

Telekom Malaysia earns billions of ringgit. MMU earns hundreds of millions of ringgit. They can't allocate 5 millions for library? They can't allocate another 5 millions for Internet services?

What nonsense do MMU and SRC talk about then?

Look. SRC people don't know what is SRC and its power.

You are elected by students. Your voice is their voice. Do you need to gather opinions and petitions to protest the IT service fee?

Think!

You people don't know what you are and you said "Actuality in Action, Integrity in Principle"

There is no action and no principle. What a shame!

I bet you no one from SRC dare to stand up to protest. Why? Because you don't know about laws. You are so afraid of disciplinary actions which MMU uses it to frighten and suppress students.

If SRC has the power, you will gather all students and run a protest. Let MMU expels all of you. Then who is going to finance MMU?

So, because the students like you are chicken, nothing can be done except being exploited and profiteer by corporation (MMU).
