Greetings to whom it may concern,
I am a regular student at UTAR Kampar, not affiliated with any major societies nor advocate of any student movements, but I write this to tell the university how disappointed I am that EMPOWER, a group vying for the SRC posts, has been allowed to continue on with their campaign.
When I first read the news on J-on, my reaction was to find a wastepaper basket and throw up immediately. According to EMPOWER's Chairman candidate, Oh Chin Eng, "Facebook and blogs are not media and therefore should be allowed for campaigning." Imagine my utmost horror that a JOURNALISM STUDENT does not even understand what in the world is a mass media.
While suppressing my urge to bludgeon him to death with my Introduction to Mass Communication book, I realised that I've read another article from J-on that mentioned of how EMPOWER's manifesto was rejected because they printed their Blogspot address on it, meaning they already KNEW that their online campaigning was illegal, yet they continued with it. I am appalled at the prospect of electing a Chairman who flamboyantly flaunts the Election Campaign rules while not admitting to his mistakes.
To end this long-winded expression of rage and disbelief, I would like to reaffirm that it is my belief that EMPOWER does not deserve to compete for a post representing the student population of UTAR Kampar when they have no disregard of breaking simple rules to upstage their opponents.
UTAR Boleh!
