Unruly, uncivilised UiTM Students

UiTM slams MB’s proposal

The report in N23 STAR today that a group of 5000 UiTM students organized a peaceful demonstration in front of Selangor state government’s office is really disturbs me. Few questions disturbed my mind. Is University and College Act 1971 is still valid or only applicable on ad-hoc basis? Is the so-called peaceful demonstration has valid police permit as always been advocated by government? Is the Student Union Chairman/representative Luqmanhakim is matured enough to ask the Selangor MB to apologies and retract the MB’s earlier statement to allow non-bumis to be given 10% of UiTM’s academic seats?
Where are our cultures gone? This small boy hardly now the rules, regulation and history of the nation giving press statement. Can the students allowed to give press statement?

As a former student and also student leader of UM, I am very sure that whatever action taken by the UiTM students are against the University and College Act 1971 and also against the law of police for illegal gathering without a police permit. The definition for illegal gathering according to police in many circumstances before is “without permit”.
Why the police failed to take action?

My simple request is the Students Affair section of UiTM should take proper action against all the students who were involved in the ILLEGAL assembly which has disturbed the public order and national security. Secondly, the police should investigate the matter thoroughly and action should be taken and any wrong doing without favouring any quarters. Only then there will be a real meaning for University and College Act 1971.
