What is becoming of our world
Yesterday, i received a letter regarding a bully case in campus. I was not too surprised. I thought to myself, well….it’s just another case. Today, I received the video clip of that incident and I am deeply troubled by it. Of course, I feel sorry for the students who became the victims of the incident but what worried me most was the way the bullies attacked them. It was so…….so….ruthless, uncivilized, so unscholarly. I can’t believe that such a case could happen in a UNIVERSITY, the IVORY TOWER of Malaysia. God help our nation.
This group of Chinese students had a recruitment counter in the college cafe when a bunch (around 30) students came to disrupt their operation. They said they did not like to see them opening the counter there and started to make fun of them. They took off their shoes and put it in front of the student’s face for them to smell, they shouted rude words. They pushed a guy off his chair and also pushed some people around. I was speechless when i saw the video and afraid, afraid of what would become of our universities.
No actions has been taken against these bullies, the ones to suffer are the victims. The law does not protect them. So in future, who is going to survive in campus? The loud mouths and the bullies? if you dare, you can do whatever you want? Oppressed the timid and harmless ones who choose peace against violence? This is scary man, whatever happens in the university is going to happen in our society because these fellas are gonna graduate one day and perhaps be the director of some company or government department and they are going to do the same thing they did to others if no one takes any action to teach them that what they are doing all these while is so wrong.

As we move further into the 21st century, people who refuse to leave their caveman behaviour behind will eventually become extinct. How do we know this? Because God will not allow such people to prevail. We can only pray.

strange, how can these “gangsters” be accepted into uni intake?? Smart in studies, but totally low in E.Q. I guess the Uni law must not pamper them.These ppl must be taken action. Which Uni is that?

A petition directed to the education minister/naib chancellor and being circulated in order for stern action to be taken against the hooligans and for justice to be served. Do e-mail me at banderas_axl@yahoo.com if anyone is willing to do more than blog post comments and pray.
Peace

Pray is a very personal action in life. I guess the most important is action together to against all the non-sense to continue. We are Malaysian, we have the right to keep the enviornment for free and equal. Why just simply they don’t like and they stop people? They think they are GOD? As Christian even Jesus taken a step forward when someone is abuse or victims of un-justice. Jesus leave us the MISSION to continue.. Jesus didn’t leave us the MISSION to pray only. But also Speak up the un-just.
