The comments you left in our previous blog let us down. We would like to call upon your attention and read our objectives thoroughly.
We're not here to penalize anyone, including SRC, but to create awareness. Your comments in our previous post show that you're not paying attention to this issue. We didn't want to complain to SRC. Hence, there is no such need to file an official complaint. You're giving impression to everyone that you are trying to self-defend - you didn't do anything because there is no official complaint.
Even lj has repeatedly reminded you about our objectives,
but you chose to ignore his statement and defend yourself again and again.
Why are you in such a haste to defend yourself when we are not complaining about SRC?
So, please wake up, read up, and be less self-defensive.
SRC is a body that represents the students, not a body that manages students. SRC should take the initiative to reach out to the students and find out students problems and dissatisfactions. Staying back in the comfy SRC room and waiting for complaints is not the way to serve the public.
Waiting for official complaints is just showing your passiveness on student affairs. Bureaucratism and shirking off responsibility, like what the CCIP committee wrote in the comment below, doesn't help to make our country advance.
Please bear in mind that student leaders should be someone who are more critical, matured, progressive and pragmatic.

really sad to hear tat from one of the members of SRC....
hello frenzy team! how much have u spent on this campaign? (both time and money)..why dont u put all that time and money and create a campaign to collect donations and donate to those people that u think should deserve the money...act proffesionally and dont just talk without taking any actions..if you really had such donations campaign, i would offer myself to be part of the team..it is also sad to see all of you giving the wrong facts (about the record breakers)..be raional...
It's sad to see the university students are so passive nowadays. The SRC waiting for people to complain. Mr. Rational waiting for people to organize donations campaign.
I'd say there's hope in university students as this campaign organizer sees the bigger picture, to have students to think more critically, and organize more meaningful events at the future. It is way much bigger achievement than just organize another event.
Bravo to the organizer.
When the people will just start thinking a little bit more critically?
First and foremost,I totally agree with this blog.
The owner of this blog is trying to create awareness among students about these unmeaningless records.They're not trying to go against the uni or wadsoever.
Secondly,based on the comments in this blog,we should not be racist and blame other people about the events that have passed.What we all need to do now is sit down,think critically and come up with a solution to avoid those unmeaningless record in the future.
To SRC,CCIP and whoever concerned, now is not the time to defend yourselves.No one is putting the blame on you guys.Try to sit down, think constructively and be less self-defensive.
To SRC, CCIP and those records organizers:
I understand you all being insulted by this campaign. Pls do read back the objective of this campaign, again, again, again n again. Did they ask for anything from you guys? Did they scold you guys in frnt of the public? REMEMBER THIS, CREATE AWARENESS. Not to confront with any parties, societies, staffs or students.
What they want is create awareness, they do wish organizers think twice everytime you held an event. We want quality event, not meaningless bombastic record breaking event. Everytime when you set an objective or mission for your events, think twice. Dun be selfish just keep on breaking records by wasting 24K. Although is not MMU money, is sponsor 1, but it's money either. It's food either. Do think what's the impact, what will happen.
Again, it's to create AWARENESS. Pls understand this.
Greetings!
I am not here to take sides. But after reading the blog and some of the comments, I believe some of us had perhaps forgot something very important.
Pls remember that we have different goal and values in life. Some people seek fame, glory and name. Some are driven solely by their passion of something. Others want to make the world a better place or improve themselves.
Therefore, the things we choose to do in life would differ. Some will choose to join the record breaking events and some will join campaigns.
What we need to be aware of here is that we have to respect others' beliefs.
The record breaking committee believed that the event did promoted leadership, intergration, etc. Don't make fun of them.
The awareness campaign team believed that some of us are indulging in meaningless record breaking. Let them have their own opinion.
To each and everyone of us, understand our motives. The organizer of the record breaking events maybe just want to polish his/her event organizing skills. The people who joined maybe just want to meet new friends. Some of the readers who support the blog owner perhaps had their event rejected or maybe they really believed that such events are a waste.
Just my 2 cents.
We'll i m agree with wad have bring up by the awareness team. As for me i dun think they wan to blame or insult any one here. Cos the objective is to bring out awareness among students.
To other ppl who think writting blog is a coward way, i m not so supporting ur opinion. Because... to get more ppl to know tis awareness thingy, one of the fastest, cheapest, n most easy way is to use the technology which is closest to us (the internet). I dun think it's only for student in MMU, this msg can be snd out to the other student in worldwide. Not only MMU student that are doing the meaningless record breaking event, there are a lot more ppl (including our parents n the government >_<) who are trying or have ald done the same thing. The prove is... juz check in the Malaysian's Book of Record.
Well, stop blaming or defensing, juz read it n think bout it. No heart breaking, okay? ;)
"SRC is a body that represents the students, not a body that manages students." Quoted from paragraphs up there.
Well said, they always seem to forget about this, or perhaps they're hoping no one remembers?
To CCIP committee that wrote the comment, that just shows that you're immature, nothing else. "Don't blame me, blame someone else!" Indeed.
"AFFIRMING STUDENTS' RIGHTS AND WELFARE" - SRC MOTTO
First of all, Larry I am happy that you stood up and tried to bear some responsibilities here. :)
Peoples here are critically true that this is not about accusant. Even if it does, the objective is to gain insight about the meanings, values of any events hold at a university's level.
Please don't trapped by the working regulation(the complaint machanism), those are the familiar excuses made by the management only. :P
I would like to propose what SRC can try if you guys really want to contribute in a solid way.
- Try to arrange a meeting with the campaign team:
1) Thoroughly address the issues and concerns about this case,
2) Fail a memorandum,
3) Confront it with Director of STAD.
4) Make sure the next event's proposals are being measured properly before it gets granted and promoted. (Bear in mind this is never a mean to discourage student's activities, it is quality assurance.)
----
My ideas is, the power to operate SRC is on student's hands. As long as it is solving the problem effectively, things shouldn't get caught by rules or regulations. Please don't be binded by that.
People will not respect SRC by its name, earn it. :D
Good Luck~
I agree with Shea...Every program organised in MMU has it very own objectives and goals..and do not simply make fun of it..In creatin awareness, are u awared of those objectives included in the programs? Be rational
Mr. rational,
i hope i can b "Rational" as u think,
but before tat can u please answer all the questions tat bring out by blogger? i really hope to knw main objectives of this record breaking event...thx
I think Mr Rational is totally unrational -_-'''
trying be "rational" said...
Mr. rational,
i hope i can b "Rational" as u think,
but before tat can u please answer all the questions tat bring out by blogger? i really hope to knw main objectives of this record breaking event...thx
Why dont u guys go to STAD Office and ask a copy of each program proposals (all including non-record breaking events)..read through all the objectives and understands them before start doing the talking...Be rational..
You are still totally UNRATIONAL
I'm honestly glad to see that the organisers of the campaign have decided to blog in proper words instead of making pictorial dramas all the way. Now that everyone can clearly see who your target audience is, and what your objectives are, it's much easier to get to the crux of the situation.
First of all, I have to say something to Shea.
Darling, are you missing the point? Nobody is making fun of the record-breaking organisers. If anything, we're a bit upset at them. Sure, you're right on the point that everyone was has their own set of beliefs and goals and they are entitled to pursue them.
However, they have no right to achieve their desires at the expense of others. The kind of motives you brought up - promote leadership, integration, meet new friends, polish event management skills [not to mention fame, glory and name] - none of these hold water to the fact that the record breaking events have wasted a lot of money.
It doesn't matter whose money it is. Look at the result of what that bulk of money has been spent on. A 1.8km stretch of cold stale kebab that nobody wanted and ultimately went to waste. Nobody is arguing on the goals of anyone's lives.
What we're dealing with here is whether or not it is reasonable to spend a huge amount of money on something that would eventually go to waste, without leaving anything significantly useful. Sure, a few people might learn to bond with each other, some become better leaders, but tell me are those things worth spending 5-digit budgets on?
As for Mr. Rational, stop bolded your entire bloody text, it's annoying. Your suggestion to go out and collect money is as useful as telling an empty glass to fill itself. We're not talking about people suffering, we're talking about students wasting money. You're telling people to be rational and you're here giving out irrational suggestion. What kind of an oxymoron are you?
For SRC and CCIP, well, I have nothing to say that hasn't been said by anyone up there. No use repeating the same shit again and again.
now that's rational :)
from what i know...
the sponsor tried to sell the kebab to students...
after that they decided to give it for charity...
so i think there's a big mistake from the bloggers ...no wastage
___________________________________
i am not against anyone....
___________________________________
but i agree with shea..
- everyone has the own objectives for the event
- congkak, kolam and kebab i believe taught and share culturals things to students in the process
- the kickboxing, they earned it
- and the students get some activities, and learn in the process
___________________________________
and for the bloggers
u have your point, maybe we should have a better quality record
- but what students can do? u have to understand the students standard and capabilities
- to make a record is not easy, give them some credit instead of slating them(though you have some point in term of quality)
try to put urself into their situation, maybe u can see broader pictures
i am impressed that we have u to create the awareness, but i think u can do better in alot of things
- ur banner, nothing to say, awful lot, it's like people protesting beside the road, no standard
- pasting here and there, i am against it even clubs hanging it around the campus
- blogging here, everyone knows, though effective, but u play big part in memper'siasui'kan mmu
___________________________________
overall, you all make a good job trying to create awareness, but i believe there is some other way.
To the anonymous above
- but what students can do? u have to understand the students standard and capabilities
that's why Malaysian students got no standard and capabilities, ended up doing useless record breaking. is that what are you trying to say?
If there is nothing that Uni students can do due to thier low standard and capabilities in order to achieve better quality records, then save it man. It's better than wasting the resources for nonsense.
Ask the students to spare thier time on organizing the most number Uni students helping Johor flood victims, by then the students can polish whatever skills they need, watever union between races and craps. (pls take note, every event no matter how big or how small it's, it requires organizing skills and communications between human).
The point here is, how are you gonna achieve the same goal by the better way. There is no reason for anyone of us here to waste.
Uni students, pls wake up.
i agreed with wengleong above. earn ur respect, SRC!!! DO not just be an organiser of mmu events. all of you can do far far more than jus event organisers right? Fight for us, SRC. We need you.
haha.. did any uni student found that, there is two "BIGGEST" banner in the MMU. Tat promoting src event..One near library, another one near zebra cross... wakaka..wat a waste...
Dear Frenzy guys,
SRC wouldn't mind meeting you guys up and talk about this issue.
Let's say Tuesday (16/04) at 8pm in SRC Room? Or do suggest a date and time.
*opps...the last post was me...accidentally pressed the enter button.
Silencers darl,
I am aware of the main concern of the owner(s) of the blog.
I was referring to the people who visited this blog n left comments, in general.
Belittling others' effort, what do you call that, if not making fun of the person/organization? Read the comments in other entries. SOME of the comments were just low blows to the event organizers OR this campaign's organizer.
It's ok to criticize but make sure it's constructive and not destructive.
Not everyone is as mature as you are in voicing out their opinion.
wastage of money...not wastage of kebab...wakekeke...
OMG!!
As for Mr. Rational, stop bolded your entire bloody text, it's annoying. Your suggestion to go out and collect money is as useful as telling an empty glass to fill itself. We're not talking about people suffering, we're talking about students wasting money. You're telling people to be rational and you're here giving out irrational suggestion. What kind of an oxymoron are you?
Agree with you Shea.."Matured opinion" from Silencers..The reason I bolded my so called bloody text was to differentiate those phrase that i quoted from previous post..got it?
is mr rational n shea, the same ppl... or they are gay partner? keep agree wif each other..lolz.. i m having fun when i saw ur thread..hahah
this is sad man... ppl pushing responsibilities macam taichi. all ppl who comments including the CCIP guy who dare the blog owner to reveal their name, where he himself used anonymous to comment.
U guys grow up please, how can u survive in the corporate with such mentality ?
same thing to SRC, I know and U know how SRC works and i must tell you, when you enter the corporate life, your mental model in SRC will screw u up.
Be realistic and take initiatives, talk with points and not defend blindly.
big corporation has been doing business process re-engineering because of stupid procedures creating more problems and delays. If SRC will stick with the conventional SOP, you will assume MMU students are happy.
more importantly, src are students, students are human, which are creature of attitude, greed and conflicts.
my comments seem to be bias.. yes i know.. it's my perception because of my experience in ..... please disregard this comment if u dislike it, no need to reply to defend.
unlike the rest, i did not hide my identity, because i speak the truth .
