My Uni's Student Council Election is around the corner.
Many brainwashing activities, emotional remarks, back-stabbing & threats has been going on over this 2 weeks.
Wastage of funds, kidnapping, protesting, flag burning & fighting are common towards the candidate-naming as well as the election day.
But what is the real purpose behind all this?
-- Power-Hungry bastards trying to manipulate other people's thoughts in order to achieve their own desire, even though it does not have anything to do with the development of the university?
Or people trying to gain other's trust by simply making allegations?
Think for yourself, are you voting for a particular person plainly because he/she:
- is your friend?
- is your course mate?
- is of your own race?
- is your hostel mates?
- looked more reliable?
- looked more charming?
- is the person whom the others influences/asks/forces/threatens you to vote for?
- ...(you simply do not have a choice, you vote because you're required to do so)
For which ever reasons, do not ever let your emotions conquer your rationality.
Do not blindly follow the others' footsteps.
USE YOUR BRAIN!!! NOT YOUR HEART!!!
I'm not here to ask you not to vote,
but Vote Smart, Vote with Confidence & most important you Vote Rationally.
And if you still could not decide who to vote for on the very moment you're standing in front of the ballot box, vote for Nobody. Remember, it's not a necessity to vote & it is definitely not a sin if you don't vote! You will not get yourself into any trouble if you do not vote!
------------------------------------------------------------------
Pause, and ask yourself, who are you? Are you really a University student? Or you're just another nobody out there who didn't get a chance to study, currently working like hell trying to earn for a living?
Then why are you not working towards your initial intentions when you first received your acceptance letter into the university?
Why waste most of your time participating in activities, playing games, skipping classes, not paying attention during classes and neglecting your studies?
At the end of the day, end up not getting to graduate?
And become the next hostel administrator?
Please do not waste that seat you're taking up in the Uni whereas there is someone else out there who deserves more than you do, dying to get a place in Uni but did not manage to get it.
SHAME ON YOU!!!
Conclusion is... Please, USE YOUR GOD DAMN BRAIN!!!
And so some of you might think... Who the hell am I to say this to you?
I’m not representing any of the competing ideological parties/bodies/organizations because I do not side any.
I'm just a student... who is fed up with those morons out there.

Apati Pelajar Tahun Satu
Pilihan Raya Kampus (PRK) kini berbunga kembali… Mahasiswa Universiti yang dipilih menjadi Calon sama ada Pro-Mahasiswa mahupun Pro-Aspirasi kini masing-masing mempertaruhkan manifesto-manifesto mereka…kononnya demi kebajikan dan kepentingan Mahasiswa. Tetapi ada segelintir calon sahaja yang melunaskan janji-janji manis mereka dan selebihnya hanya menjadi “Pak Turut” kepada pihak yang mencaturkan sistem ini. Inilah yang sering berlaku acapkali sehingga ianya menjadi klise menjelangnya musim PRK.
