today is August 30.
today is the eve of our nation's Merdeka.
campus elections will be held in September.
yet there is no news on what's going on.
no news on the exact date.
no news on who's running for elections.
there might not even be elections.
no need to vote.
'candidates' will stand unopposed.
like what happened last year.
unwilling ones cajoled into standing for elections.
or threatened with expulsion from hostels.
students in general, couldn't care less.
as long as my grades are not affected.
as long as i am not personally affected.
i shall not create or go near trouble.
why is this happening?
how did we come to this stage?
when did it happen?
who planned it?
who allowed it?
who sat back and did nothing about it?
who doesn't know anything?
who doesn't care?
what will the future hold for us university students?
what kind of individuals will we become?
Happy 48th Birthday Malaysia.
may your citizens never be sucked into apathy and mediocrity.
may your citizens never be deaf, dumb and blind when things don't seem right.
but may they be a proactive people.
a people with ears, eyes and voices.
may the silence perturb your people.
may the silence be deafening.
