+ another RM 100 in your student fees.

So the Finance Division is planning to impose a RM100/year IT service fee on all students. From there,it will be used to upgrade the Melaka Campus bandwidth from 16 Mbps to 32 Mbps. Besides, some of the portions will be used for the maintenance of the IT service in the campus, like the MMLS systems, the course registration systems, the wireless service in the campus, and other online systems.

Ok, my question is, why in the hell that we, students of MMU need to pay for the so called "IT service" in the first place? Isn't MMU is labeled with the university of Information Technology? Well that could make me laugh for the whole day (heck, I'm laughing till my eyes fill with tears now). And the SRC (Student Representative Council, who the president we elected every year and year but nothing good come out from it, well, maybe a little) still trying to get the feedback from the student bout this matter. If you go to the SRC's blog, there are lots of, no wait, ALL of them are disagreed/pissed off/unsatisfied with the matter.

Here are some interesting events happened when the new president of MMU (which was transfered from UNITEN, replacing our beloved Mr. Ghauth Jasmon) since last year:

- The rule of student barring is more stricken (attendance below 75%, barred; lecturers can't do anything; can't even talk with the Dean).

- The additional of RM 100 (yeap, we had this problem once, and it is happening again, are they trying to make it as a traditions or something? Fuck!). This is for the Library maintenance. But later after the SRC had some "talk" with the people upstairs, we just have to pay RM 80. Wow! Reasonable eh? Ha!

- They want to abolish the use of MMLS, but that turned out to be a joke. Some clowns got nothing to do and spread the lies to the students. Really got us there...


So, I can see that, new president, new policy, lot of people trying to get nasty around here, and the new president allowed it. Haiz...

Why can't they just use a portions of the library fees to cover for the maintenance and stuffs?? Too sengal to handle.... Arrggghhh!!!! Tensi... tensi....
