[UPDATED profiles for Ismail and Azlin and new links. Last updated on 21 August 2010]

Interview by Ong Jo-Lene, Eunice Ong & Lim Kar Mern

You’ve heard of the UKM4, you’ve read that they were arrested and are to face disciplinary proceedings under the UUCA, you’ve seen a re-energised student movement seeking to repeal the UUCA, and Court proceedings are on-foot. But how much do you really know about the protagonists?

In this 3 part exclusive, King Chai, Hilman, Azlin and Ismail – four bright and passionate mahasiswa Sains Politik share with LoyarBurokkers – Ong Jo-Lene, Eunice Ong and Lim Kar Mern, their stories, aspirations and the battle that lies ahead.


UKM 4 UUCA

UKM 4 King Chai Card

King Chai: Saya merupakan anak ketiga dari lima orang adik-beradik. Keluarga saya masih menetap di Johor dan saya tinggal dalam kampus di UKM. Di dalam kolej kediaman, saya merupakan seorang EXCO Jawatankuasa Kebajikan Siswa/Siswi di Kolej Ungku Omar.

Memegang jawatan ini telah memberi saya pelbagai pengajaran dan saya juga dapat melihat kesungguhan setiap orang yang terlibat untuk memastikan kebajikan pelajar dijaga. Penglibatan saya dalam aktiviti ko-kurikular agak banyak tetapi kena cuba untuk balance semua lah – moga-moga saya dapat menghabiskan pengajian dengan memasuki senarai dekan untuk semua semester. (LB: King Chai disenarai dekan dalam kesemua empat semester)

Off campus, I like seeking out new experiences – this was why I was very excited to be entrusted with the responsibility as liaison officer to our Deputy Prime Minister, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin and VP and Head of Asia Operations of Telenor Group, Mr. Sigve Brekke, at the 6th World Islamic Economic Forum.

I also love arts and culture. I like to see people, especially our local seniman expressing themselves in their own creative medium, be it through music, painting, poetry, photography, etc. In fact, tonight I’ll be going to Frinjan art festival. Personally, I’m into manual film photography – I’m a proud owner of a Smena 8mm, made in the USSR! I also try to blog when I can.

UKM 4 Hilman Card

Hilman: I’ve always taken an interest in socio-political commentary, so now as a mahasiswa, I take it upon myself to get involved in various advocacy programmes and workshops on democracy, youth leadership and empowerment, and human rights. One such example is the KASYP training programme organised by the Ateneo School of Government in Phillipines.

My hobby is collecting magazines, journals, and Malaysian literature from the 60’s and 70’s. Writings from that period should be an inspiration to today’s Malaysian as it shows us different we are now – we seem to have regressed as a plural society.

Today, there is this “budaya tidak peduli soal lain” that has caused us to be self-centered and disengaged. That is the difference between the students and mahasiswa then and those today.

UKM 4 Azlin CV Card

Azlin: Bagi saya Sains Politik bukanlah pilihan pertama ketika memilih bidang pengajian, tetapi makin saya ceburi, makin bertambah minat saya. Ini adalah kerana aplikasinya luas dan mendalam – ilmu yang ditimba dari pengajian Sains Politik dan latihan PALAPES saling melengkapi antara satu sama lain.

Contohnya, dalam PALAPES, kami telah diajar untuk taat setia kepada negara dan sentiasa meletakkan kepentingan negara lebih tinggi daripada kepentingan diri sendiri. Oleh itu, saya cuba untuk melakukan apa sahaja usaha yang saya boleh untuk menggerakkan diri sendiri dan juga rakan-rakan di sekeliling ke arah mendorong pembangunan masyarakat dan negara yang sihat.

Minat saya adalah – PALAPES – latihan pertahanaan negara dan ketenteraan. Saya menjadi pegawai PALAPES sejak tahun pertama di universiti.

Malangnya, sejak kes AUKU ini bermula, status saya sebagai pelajar UKM (dan justeru itu status sebagai seorang pegawai PALAPES UKM) dianggap tidak dapat dipastikan sehingga kes ini selesai.

Ismail UKM 4 CV v2

Ismail: Saya suka bergiat dalam persatuan-persatuan mahasiswa yang cuba menganjurkan program-program untuk membangunkan para pelajar dari pelbagai aspek – kepimpinan, ilmu pengetahuan, kepekaan terhadap isu-isu di sekeliling, dan sebagainya.

Pada waktu lapang pula, saya biasanya akan melayari internet untuk menatapi berita terkini dan diskusi mengenai isu-isu semasa.

Jika saya diberi peluang untuk menjadi pemimpin, sama ada dalam bidang politik atau sebagai seorang pensyarah, saya berharap dapat mencontohi tokoh-tokoh dari zaman kegemilangan tamadun Islam – yang begitu prihatin terhadap rakyat dan sentiasa ingat akan untuk “turun” ke rakyat.

Pemimpin-pemimpin kita sekarang telah lupa akan sifat ini – Kampung Cucur Badak adalah salah satu contoh yang membuktikan ini kerana di tengah-tengah bandar Kuala Lumpur masih wujud kampung setinggan dimana penduduknya serba kekurangan dan ditepikan.

Sebenarnya Sains Politik bukanlah subjek mengenai politik tetapi ia adalah mengenai kehendak dan keperluan sesuatu rakyat – ia merupakan satu bidang Sains Sosial – oleh itu kami semua agak cenderung dan berminat mengiati aktiviti yang berasaskan hak asasi, demokrasi, dan sebagainya.

Bangkit Mahasiswa!

56 replies on “[UPDATED] The LoyarBurok Interview (Part 1): UKM 4 – Rebels or Revolutionaries?”

  1. Assalamualaikum. Saya ingin mengambil peluang ini untuk memberi penjelasan terhadap isu ini yang baru sahaja sampai ke perhatian saya tentang perbezaan keputusan yang dipaparkan di muka ini serta keputusan yang dipaparkan di bahagian komen oleh salah seorang pembaca.

    Apabila LoyarBurok minta keputusan peperiksaan daripada saya semasa interview untuk artikel ini, saya tidak dapat semak keputusan saya langsung di Sistem Maklumat Pelajar (SMP-web) kerana masih terdapat hutang pengajian yang belum dijelaskan. Oleh itu, LoyarBurok pun tidak memaparkan apa-apa pointer bagi maklumat peribadi saya sehinggalah salah seorang pembaca mendesak LB untuk memaparkan keputusan.

    Tetapi, semasa training saya pada waktu cuti, saya dimaklumkan bahawa saya boleh menyemak keputusan menggunakan SMS dan keputusan yang saya dapat daripada SMS adalah 3.2, lalu saya telah memberikan keputusan ini kepada LB. Walau bagaimanapun, selepas semuanya sudah selesai dan keputusan peperiksaan saya diposkan kepada rumah saya di Kelantan, saya telah mengandai bahawa keputusan yang saya terima melalui SMS adalah betul tanpa mempunyai peluang untuk menyemak slip keputusan yang dipos ke rumah saya.

    Sepanjang masa ini, salah seorang pembaca telah membuat pelbagai tuduhan dan tohmahan terhadap peribadi diri saya di laman ini. Perkara ini berada di luar jangkaan dan perhatian saya, sehingga saya telah diberitahu oleh LB dan apabila saya pulang ke kampung, ibu saya telah menunjukkan slip keputusan saya dan saya terkejut melihat perbezaan antara keputusan yang saya terima melalui SMS dengan slip keputusan yang saya terima.

    Saya tidak tahu pembaca itu mendapat keputusan saya dari sumber mana tetapi saya ingin menegaskan bahawa salinan keputusan yang dipaparkan itu bukan salinan slip keputusan yang diterima oleh saya dan saya rasa terkejut apabila perkara peribadi seperti slip keputusan ini boleh terjatuh dalam tangan orang awam seperti salah seorang pembaca laman ini.

    Terima kasih dan harap perkara ini selesai di sini.

    Klik sini untuk ke slip keputusan yang saya terima.

  2. Getting tired of waiting feedback from Lord Bobo…

    So walllaaaaa….
    http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/2663/a123214.jpg

    Don't try to change the subject..

    It's not the AUKU thing i argue..

    I just get tired of those muslim with their FITNAH2…

    And for someone yang konon from serambi mekah(a.k.a. kelantan), that's just show how your nafsu for politik is more important that her religion…

  3. Still no progress here.

    However I don’t see what is the importance of the pointer subject anyway. It’s about barring students from their rights to freedom of speech.

    Mentang-mentang, sikit-sikit AUKU, sikit-sikit ISA, sikit-sikit panggil bapak. Seriously these group of community has to grow up.

    P/s: Animos is just another case of sour grapes. Tak puas orang lebey fames dari dia. Or another case of student, pointer tinggi tapi xdapat publisiti.

  4. Lord Bobo,

    to make things clear, i appeal that you allow Azlin's pointer to be post here so that all doubt will subside. as per argument raised by me earlier, accusation must be presented with valid evidence to support and Animos will be presenting evidence on 4th Aug or later. with regards of journalism's ethics on fair and transparent information, i believe it is your duty to call this circus even.

    Animos,

    do name your due date to submit your evidence to support said accusation. do remember that any failure to keep your end's bargain will be taken as your gesture of diverting public's attention from the truth and your word will then no longer be of any value.

  5. Dear Goldman and Lord Bobo,

    Nak report polis agains sapa?

    Loyar buruk atau kat Azlin nie?

    Kawan2 Azlin minta dia buat pengakuan terbuka sekarang..

    Kalo tak, saya akan paparkan bukti dia secara online(kan lebih mengaibkan tu)

    Saya bagi sampai 04 Ogos 2010 nie..

    Lepas tu saya akan poskan salinan keputusan dia kat page nie

  6. Well, great discussion here.

    Animos, I suggest you buat police report secepat mungkin. Coz I fikir you memang ada bukti kukuh. If not, it’s better not to defame orang. Karang kena Seditions Act baru ko tau… for slandering people without a VALID evidence (sbb aku tau ko xde sbrg bukti LANGSUNG).

    Last words…
    Berani cakap, berani buat.
    Ada bukti, cepat beri.

  7. Lord Bobo,

    i believe you are reliable when posting any information here. thus, all given info shall be taken as solid evidence till any party challenge the authenticity of said evidence.

    Animos/Kebenaran,

    do produce a strong evidence to support your argument on UKM 4 pointer. if they did came up with wrong info to Lord Bobo, they shall be responsible for that. if not, you owe us a public appology for trying to deface them with lies. do bear in mind that the question is whether the CGPA posted is true as it is. all other points that is beyond said matter is void.

  8. Ceh..

    pointer tak cecah 3, lagi nak menipu…

    Pasni senyap lak page nie sbb takdak sapa nak jilat ludah sendiri…

  9. Dear LoyarBurok readers,

    LB would like to clarify that when this interview was done, LB did not have the CGPA of Ismail and Azlin. Post interview, LB was updated by Ismail and Azlin of their CGPA scores and we duly updated their respective profile cards. The process of updating the profile cards required some time and note that the updated CGPAs were not set in bold unlike the first two cards due to a graphics editorial oversight on our part.

    Any confusion caused was unintentional.

    Yours Sincerely from cyberspace,

    Lord Bobo Barnabus

  10. Qama Gill,

    Ada baca ka?

    pointer tu cuma satu..

    Saya tau dorang memang pergi kempen..

    Saya join perbincangan tu…

    So my point?

    Ko islam, Kalo betul ko pecaya apa ko perjuangkan.. Mengaku je lah..

    Tak payah nak menipu, menfitnah,, pastu ajak ramai2 buat dosa…

  11. animos,

    it intrigued me when you are saying that these ukm4 were lying just by looking at the pointer. would you mind enlighten me on your argument pls?

    Kalo nak lepas diri guna agama, bila da buat dosa guna undang2 dunia..

    Maka simplenya.. kalo betul mereka menipu pun ko akan sokong kan?

    Hahaha.. You and your simple mind

  15. salam animos..

    1)"Apa kata bersangka baik kat Pengurusan?"

    -Ada x apa2 statement yang aku kuarkan yg bersangka buruk dkat pihak pengurusan??come on man..aku x salahkan pengurusan pn..ukm 4 dah kena tangkap dkat us an dgn dorg ada bungkusan yg boleh digunakan untuk mendakwa ukm4 nie terlibat dgn berkempen..so pihak pengurusan dakwa dorang..bgus la..menampakkan pihak pengurusan buat keja??tp ukm4 x mengaku bungkusan tu dorg punya..ok lah..nk buat mcm mana kan dorang dah x mengaku..so bawak la g mahkamah..

    2)"Dakwaan dorang berkempen..

    Pastu tannak mengaku berkempen.."

    -statement ko nie betul2 buat aku tergelak r animos..kalau dorang kena tangkap and kena dakwa…wajib ke dorang mengaku??xkan la kalau x buat salah pn kena mengaku bersalah bang??sempit sangat pemikiran ko nie..kita nie negara democracy..bila dah mengaku tidak bersalah..bawak la g mahkamah then bicara..kita nie sebagai third party..x boleh la nk ckp apa2 yang boleh buat dorang nampak bersalah sbb keputusan perbicaraan pn x kuar lagi..tu yg aku cakap ko tu salah sebab bersangka buruk..apa2 pn tunggu dulu perbicaraan..dah keluar keputusan baru la ckp dia salah ke dia betul ke..

    3)"apa kata mengaku je pergi berkempen pastu perjuangkan yang auku tu salah…"

    -hahahaa…mcm yg aku ckp td..perlu ke dorang mengaku kalau dorang tau dorang x bersalah??and nk perjuangkan auku tu salah x perlu pn terlibat dgn apa2..kalau ko nk g perjuangkan auku salah..boleh je..xde masalah pn..klo ko nk ckp salah satu undang2 malaysia salah pn xde masalah..g la report then bawak la masuk mahkamah..perlu ke ko terlibat dgn apa2 kesalahan??point ko nie x masuk akal r bro..

    4)"cuma kalolah(kalo lah) memang betul dorang menipu.."

    -kenapa ko kena timbulkan persoalan nie??dah bicara ke??dah keluar keputusan yang mengatakan dorang salah ke??nie la statement ko yang aku ckp ko nie bersangka buruk..lepas tu nk cakap dorang ajak ramai2 buat dosa pulak..fikir dulu bang sebelum cakap apa2..

    5)"Ko nie memang islam sesat betul r…"

    -ko ISTIGHFAR byk2 bro..

    Rasullullah (S.A.W) telah memperingatkan perbuatan menghukum seseorang dengan kekafiran padahal ia tidaklah demikian, beliau bersabda.

    “Ertinya : Barangsiapa yang berkata kepada saudaranya ‘wahai kafir’ maka sungguh (perkataanya) kembali kepada salah satu dari mereka jika ia berkata benar, jika tidak maka akan kembali padanya” [Muttafaq 'alaihi dari Ibnu Umar] [1]

  16. i'm partially agree with you in said matter. i do agree when it comes to root cause of close-minded people that we are having whereby all arguments being seconded with no more than emotion. i'm not saying that students should be participating in politics still they should have be more analytical to current surroundings. 21 is the legal of voting, putting aside the educational status, they are people with a right to vote. yes fight may get rampant yet the situation is not going to be any different since the so-called adult are doing it in much worser scale. any by-election proved my fact here. regardless of the age, mindset permits better control of the scenario. i believe the issue is not to allow students to participate in politics but the concern is that the UUCA being a sole oppression on freedom of speech. it has become a boogeyman that prohibits anything different from ever emerge. it freezes the urge of challenging any flaw that my arises. while the call of being globally competitive is loudly hailed, one is not allow to question the current ruling. funny isn't it?

  17. I do not support students getting into politics in Malaysia. Most university students are not mature enough to handle it. I'd wager everything I own that fights will begin to get rampant if students are allowed to openly support political parties and all. I'm not against students being knowledgable about the politics in out country. I'm not supporting students being kept like 'katak bawah tempurung'. I am concerned about how things will become in the end. The people of Malaysia need to have the proper frame of mind and maturity to get involved in politics. In fact, many adults are not fit to delve in politics themselves even if it's to show support for their 'beloved' party. It's a clear fact that the flaw stems from the education from young, where no one is ever taught to be open-minded and have a critical thinking mind. Our education system seems to breed extensively closed-minded and tunnel-visioned people.

    And the government wants Malaysians to be competitive globally? Hoping to have different mentality without making a drastic change to upbringing education? Expecting different results by doing the same thing is insanity, as Einstein so wisely noted.

  18. salam…hahahaha…ak sokong ckp penipu tu….bkn ak nak kata la klu btul korg dpt dekan tolong publishkan korang punya sijil anugerah dekan kat blog ni…bru la suma blh pcaya sbb setahu ak king chai ngan hilman mmg xdnafikan…tolong kpd yg berkenaan jgn maenkan pointer dalam mendapat perhatian ramai…ramai yg xpuas hati taudak…korg jgn belagak pndai klu korg mmg xpndai…..klu cam ni nak jd pemimpin ak xrespect la…..jgn smpai ak pg tnya kat pusat korg tntg keputusan korg….bru terbukti kbnaran tersebut..sowie ar klu kasar tp hakikatnya mmg ak xpuas ati pasal korg menipu…sekian pikir2kan la sendiri k

  19. Apa kata bersangka baik kat Pengurusan?

    AUKU soal lain…

    tu boleh bincang tmpt lain…

    Dakwaan dorang berkempen..

    Pastu tannak mengaku berkempen..

    apa kata mengaku je pergi berkempen pastu perjuangkan yang auku tu salah…

    putar belit buat pe?

    dakwaan just sbb berkempen..

    da buat tu mengaku je..

    saya memang tiada hak nak cakap betul salah, pahala dosa..

    cuma kalolah(kalo lah) memang betul dorang menipu..

    Korang memang sokong juga ke?

    Ko nie memang islam sesat betul r…

  20. Haha…

    SANGKA BAIK..

    BENGGANG KE TAKUT DOSA…

    KORANG ORANG ISLAM MACAM NIE LA PERANGAINYA…

  21. x bis2 lg ke loyar burok nii nk menipu? wei tolong laa jgn smpkn butiran2 palsu. x da etika dalam penulisan

  22. menda r animos nie..ko ada masalah ke dgn dorang??sapa ko nk cakap pasal dosa dan pahala??

    kalau mmg tu yg diorang cakap..biar la..kita sesama islam(kalau ko islam la) sepatutnya bersangka baik..so..apa kata kalau ko dduk diam2 skit..and husnu zhon..

    kalau ko ckp mcm nie pn ko cuba ajak ramai2 bersangka buruk dkat dorang..sama je dgn apa yg ko cakap dkat dorang.."ajak ramai2 buat dosa"..

    p/s :-jangan buat keja bodoh dgn meludah ke langit..

  23. Terbaca komen menarik….

    "Kalo lah terbukti bebudak nie mmg pergi berkempen dan mereka menggunakan alasan utk tujuan akademik UTK MENIPU…

    Secara tidak langsung MENFITNAH UNIVERSITI menangkap mereka yang kononnya tidak bersalah,

    maka ramai2 lah KITA yang asyik posting protect dorang nie dan kutuk UKM berkongsi DOSA MENFITNAH….

    Kalo da betul pergi berkempen…

    Mengaku je lah…

    Kata nak tegakkan perjuangan…

    "

    BETUL…

    KALO DA BETUL KEMPEN TU MENGAKU JE LA..

    NAK AJAK RAMAI2 BUAT DOSA LAK…

  24. assalamualaikum dan salam muhibbah..

    firstly saya rasa amat berbangga dengan 4 org pelajar dari ukm ini yg telah berusaha ntuk menegakkan keadilan walaupun terus ditindas..tahniah saya ucapkan..terutama sekali kepada saudara hilman..teruskan perjuangan anda..saya sentiasa menyokong anda..

    disini saya ingin memahatkan rasa kesal saya terhadap hep ukm kerana cuba untuk memusnahkan masa depan bakal pemimpin kita..juga kepada kerajaan malaysia yang masih lagi menggunakan Seksyen 15(5)(a) Akta Universiti & Kolej Universiti 1971 yang tidak sepatutnya wujud..di sini saya ingin mempersoalkan..andai kata mahasiswa tidak melibatkan diri dengan mana2 parti politik, adakah seorang mahasiswa yang sudah layak mengundi akan mengenali pemimpin2 yang patut diundi..atau kerajaan malaysia ingin mahasiswa-mahasiswa ini mengundi parti mereka tanpa diketahui kebenarannya..

    jadi saya secara peribadi mengecam sekeras-kerasnya Seksyen 15(5)(a) Akta Universiti & Kolej Universiti 1971..

  25. sebenarnya aku tertarik dengan pointer yang di paparkan saya rasa salah seorang dari mereka berempat ada yang menipu…sila nyatakan kebenaran..buat apa perlu berasa malu???? tidak tahu tentang hukum bahawa menipu khlayak ramai adalah satu dosa besar. tolonglah…anda adalah umat islam. bagaimana kemenangan hendak berpihak pada anda sekalian sekiranya menipu?

  26. teruskan lah usaha smp berjaya…

    ak setuju gak ngn pendapat animos tuu..ble bce balik cm lawak pon ada…hilman n.k.c my be ada kepandaian yg blh di gunakan..tp tok azlin n ismail????ap y downg ada??aku kecian ngn downg..x da mslh cri mslh..sbo2 laa..tungu pas abis belajaq kn still blh teruskn perjuangan politik~~…jgn ikut org klo kita x taw dimana tahap kemampuan diri…it's just my opinion~~

  27. owh.. Salute kat King Chai dgn Hilman…

    Kalo kene buang Universiti Pon masa depan dorang cerah lagi dgn bantuan member politik2 mereka..

    Azlin dgn ismail?

    Kalo kene buang?

    Kalo tak dapat kerja?

    Lepas keluar nak terus menjilat bontot King Chai dgn Hilman Ke?

  28. animos ni macam sakit hati je dengan King Chai dan Hilman??? mesti budak UKM juga ni…hehehe

  29. Are those two students without CGPA is a dropout students?

    Haiyo.. Anjing kepada King Chai dan Hilman rupanya

  30. Hello all, I'm one of the four and would like to take this chance to thank everyone for the support and encouragement. Especially to the LB team for taking their time to listen (also for the awesome pictures!)

    Just want to take this chance to inform everyone that on the 17th of June, the KL High Court will be holding an inter-partes hearing to decide on the merit of our injunction (if you remember, the KL High Court gave an injunction order for the university to hold off the disciplinary hearings until the court hearing 17th of June).

    Thanks again and we hope that everyone can continue to help to spread the word because there are still a lot of people who don't know about what local university students are going through. Thanks!

  31. Okay if we are serious about this, there needs to be a support group for UKM4 to do campaigns, awareness raising, campus to campus support, updates on the court hearings etc. Lets start fundraising for this. Even RM1 per person is a good buy-in.

    Then there is the lawyers' support group. A team of constitutional lawyers and human rights lawyers. You have to access discrimination-based jurisprudence worldwide. There are developments on this. Get law students to help in accessing research as well.

  32. To all 4 of u, this is all i've got to say: Syabas dan teruskan perjuangan!

    This is exactly what we need in this country. Look, its simple, our so called "seasoned" and conservative politicians think that the young shouldnt get into politics because they should focus more on their studies. Well for these four brave young malaysians, it is part of their studies!

    The very same politicians complain why there's a brain drain in the country, why our graduates arent getting jobs, why the young are incapable of thinking outside the box, why theres a rampant "lepak" culture in our society – well the answer is simple, coz the govt stifles critical thinking from day one and if students take part in any associations they'll get throw out of their uni.

    Look, the youth of ANY COUNTRY will forever be angry, restless and rebellious. Now the govt can actually channel this energy to something productive, just repeal acts like the UUCA.

  33. Well done people! Well done!

    It is extremely useful to get to know the state-persecuted students.

    I would be happier if there is a team of lawyers volunteering in the striking out of Section 15 UUCA. Please do this well knowing judges in the past have erroneously upheld any Act of Parliament even if it contradicts Part II just because Parliament made that law. Bring back constitutional supremacy to the bench and secure the civil liberties of students in the local campuses!

  34. We didn't dare aim the camera at the whole bunch of police officers while they were walking towards us – that's why what you see is them already passing us.

    Now that I think of it, it's not that funny because we were just chatting at Starbucks and yet can have such fear that the police might do something to us, just because they can if they wanted to.

  35. What they did should not be considered either rebellious or revolutionary: it was merely the simple exercise of a basic right to take part in the political process of our country. That they needed such enormous courage to do this, and that they face such vindictive oppression as a result, reflects very badly on Malaysia.

  36. In other countries, student leaders like them – active, involved and smart – are respected, given responsibilties and have a great future. Dropouts like Saiful Buhkari meanwhile will be fed to the sharks.

    Yet in Malaysia, the reverse occurs. Students with political awareness, leadership qualities and a VOICE/OPINION – are arrested, expelled from public tertiary institution and stifled of their opinions/voices. While dropouts are given direct channel to the Prime Minister.

    Does that say a lot about our beloved nation?
