《独立新闻在线》- 博大禁止候选人以网络宣传 13名学阵候选人遭取消资格

http://merdekareview.com/news/n/12142.html
【本刊记者撰述】在这网络科技发达、讯息无所不在时代,竟有大学禁止校园选举候选人利用网络进行宣传。博特拉大学校园选举的14名候选人因校方这个荒谬的选举条规而遭取消竞选资格,其中13人是亲学生阵线候选人!

博大亲学生阵线发表文告指出,博特拉大学选举委员会于昨日(27日)傍晚七时许致电14名校园级候选人,要他们到学生事务处领取取消候选人资格的通知书(Surat Pembatalan Sebagai Calon Kawasan)。

这14人当中,一共有13名来自学阵,其中 7名更已经中选为学生代表。他们被指透过电子和网络媒体宣传候选人,而遭取消资格。

博大亲学生阵线指出,博大校方在今次的校园选举中禁止候选人透过网络进行任何宣传,包括在学生群中当红的“面子书”(Facebook)等。

校方延长上诉时间

虽然上诉期已过,可是今天中午,昨晚遭取消资格的候选人都接获学生事务处的电话,要求候选人进行上诉,并延长上诉时间致今天的下午五点,然而,都全部学阵候选人皆拒绝这项要求。

博大亲学生阵线认为,事情发展到现在,已经不再是输赢的问题,而是校园选举出现的种种不公平现象并非一朝一夕的事,如果情况没有被改善问题还是会在往后的校园竞选中再三的重复。

博大学阵主席阿末法瑞斯( Ahmad Faris)在记者会上表示,如果校方不能给予合理的理由,学阵将通过法律途径来迫使校方给予正面的回答。

校园固步自封扼杀学生创意

他们抨击校方固步自封,抹杀大学生的创意,以致学生思想刻板、素质裹足不前。

其中一名接获校方取消资格通知信的候选人黄翠妮表示:“校园选举走到今天,已经荒腔走调。今天不是候选人遵不遵守规则的问题,而是整个选举机制及规则,都明显的荒谬及儿戏。”

他们认为,在这科技日益发达的时代,互联网的应用在生活中无处不在。博大校方一方面鼓励学生跟上时代步伐,另一边厢却禁止候选人透过网络来进行宣传,可见他们保守兼矛盾。

“相比之下,马大学生事务校长阿查拉依(Azarae Idris)较早前受访时就曾指出,大学生可以通过各种管道认识他们的候选人,如部落格、面子书、推特(Twitter)等网络去瞭解竞选状况。

校方通过手机短信发菜单

此外,博大学阵强力谴责校方利用官方资源来宣传自己的属意人选。博大校方是在投票前夕涉嫌应用公用号码来广发短信给学生,以呼吁学生投票给校阵的16个候选人。

他们指出,这个付费系统的号码——“62003”曾在周六凌晨发出讯息,通知候选人关于上周末培训课程延迟开始的信息,因此,此号码肯定由校方所拥有。

博大学阵强烈不满校方私用公款,以这种方式宣传自己属意的候选人。据他们了解,小部分的毕业生同样收到这封短信。

他们指出,今年博特拉大学共有约1万4000名选民,校方应用这个付费系统来发短信给这些为数不少的学生,相信背后涉及的费用一定不小。

有70余名学生出席博大学阵举行的记者会,事后阿末法瑞斯 (Ahmad Faris)和另一名学阵代表法丹娜(Nur Fatanah)前往学生事务所向副校长助理提交诉求。

博大亲学生阵线再次呼吁校方跟上时代步伐改善选举机制,还大专生一个公平和干净的校园选举。

From Malaysia Kini

Jet engines: ‘We need a better story, AG’

‘Rather than prosecuting the rank-and-file that managed to pull of this brilliant smuggle, we should promote them to be the heads of our security agencies.’

Rank-and-file behind theft of jet engines

Freemsia: Let me get this whole story right – low-ranking officers were able to sneak out two huge RM50 million jet engines without getting detected by army security and without any authorisation from top officers and then proceed to contact a foreign buyer in Uruguay, have the engines sent out without raising suspicions from our Customs Department.

Then get paid millions after selling the engines, deposited the money into their accounts without being known by Bank Negara? Or maybe they deposited the money in a Swiss bank account?

If the government actually decided to sell this story to Hollywood, the movie would flop. Somebody get a better storyteller for the government to spin something more realistic.

Mangodurian: Rather than prosecuting the rank-and-file ‘ikan bilis’ that managed to pull of this brilliant feat of smuggling, we should promote them to be the heads of security agencies and the armed forces.

Without any help, they managed to find a buyer, steal the engines from the repair shop, smuggle them out of the air force facility, pack and ship them out of the country, arrange for payment through a proxy and keep it under wraps for two years.

This is much harder than smuggling cash or a few gold bars. I say, promote these brilliant dudes!

Steven KC Poh: Does the attorney-general think the rakyat is dumb enough to believe that there were no higher-ups involved? He wants us to believe that the rank-and-file were powerful enough to escape the eyes of the air force, the Customs Department and what not?

This AG has to be sacked immediately. Please. Next time, at least come out with a better story.

This is Malaysia: Haven’t you had enough of the people in power feeding us lie after lie and treating us citizens as dimwits? It begs the question as to how this AG can sleep well with such a state of affairs on his conscience. Let all readers do the needful at the next general election.

PaachNair: Wow. The rank-and-file can do wonders. Even in such highly secure areas, things can go missing. The defence minister should resign for the loss of such costly items.

Kanesin SVS Sappania Pillay: If, as alleged by AG Abdul Gani Patail, that the rank-and-file were the only ones involved in stealing and selling the two jet engines, then they would have sold it as mere scrap metal to our scrap metal dealers. It could never have been sold clandestinely in the international market as alleged. Hence, they are mere scapegoats, as usually the case.

Cala: I feel sorry for Abdul Gani. His teachers in the law school would probably deny they ever taught him law before. As a well-trained lawyer who now heads the AG’s Chambers, he is expected to have provided a more convincing storyline pertaining to the circumstances under which the two jet engines were stolen. If he cannot, he is simply not fit for the chair. No one in this forum believes him.

Benny: Such a major loss and attributed just to rank and file? Our PM should instead promote these rank-and-file to higher office. Dispose of the senior officers who were sleeping on job or who were unaware of what was happening around them.

Where were all the controls, procedures, approvals, etc? Assuming no senior officers were directly involved, what about charging them for irresponsibility and negligence? The top people in charge of the air base must be held accountable for this loss.

Looi Kin Choon: These jet engines are highly technical. The log books are kept in a separate place and the keys to them must be held by senior officers. We also don’t believe that low-ranking officers have the technical know-how to negotiate and deal with the buyer so some highly-trained personnel must have been involved. It’s not just a Proton car engine. Don’t make us laugh till we die.

Kenneth: I am so very proud of our air force rank-and-file. To be able to steal and sell fighter jet engines is no small matter. It involves technical knowhow, knowledge of market supply and demand, as well as great logistics.

This, mind you, coming from only junior personnel. Can you imagine our senior officials? Rest well, folks, you know that our country is well-protected.
