The Truth of Monash Malaysia Blogging Warning?
Tuesday, October 9th, 2007English entries is at the last part of this article, just scroll down and you’ll see.
在读这篇之前请看《Monash Teach You How To Blog》。
在知道消息后，我到处问朋友发生了什么事。大多给我的回应很冷淡，说他们并不用blog，所以对这件事没有兴趣。我想再强调一次，这是你们的student rights。
经过多方询问，只能得到以下资料，原来是新的Monash Malaysia Building开幕典礼邀请我国的副首相纳吉去开幕，而很多学生认为说为什么一所大学会请一个racist的人来开幕。学校因为怕事，所以就希望各位学生不要写关于这件事。
上面的说法只是我听说而来的，真实性不明。如果你知道更多内幕的话不妨email我，或者可以在这里匿名留言。我也会尝试找找看澳洲Monash学生人权的代表（如果能被我联络上的话）。
Evil Bunny’s Burrow看到他写对这件事的看法，我觉得怎么去年我没认识到他：
Is the reputation of the university more important compared to the well being of its students? Or even to have a good reputation by covering everything inside the carpet? You judge yourself.
还有一个朋友介绍我看这个对着Monash Malaysia的自称学生团体的一些少数掌权为了私利者对着干的blog(Coalition for the Abolistment of MUSA)，我欣赏！离开短短几个月，原本沉闷的校园一下子变得这么有趣，如果我还留在马来西亚我一定会参与这个团体的。

My friends back in Monash Malaysia had forwarded me an email sent to Malaysia students. The content of this email was warning students not to write anything bad to defame the institute or certain person (that’s my interpretation). I asked many friends of mine about this matter, but most of them dont’ care about it with an excuse that blogging is not their thing, and it’s none of their business.
This is all your business! It’s your rights to express what you think is not right. I had complain it to the Australia campus Ombudsman but I don’t know if they will look into the matter or not (mostly won’t).
I tried to investigate the truth behind and this is what I heard (don’t sue me or catch me). Some people told me that it’s because the Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister, Najib, was invited to the opening ceremoney of Monash Malaysia new building. Some students were not happy with that as they think that DPM was racist and the institute shouldn’t invite him. In order to avoid any troubles at all costs, Prof. Merilyn Liddell sent an email to warn/advise students not to blog anything that defame anyeone orelse they’ll face the law suits.
Do you have other side of the stories? Please tell me through email or comment.
A blogger back in Monash Malaysia had blogged about it (I discovered it during the investigation), Evil Bunny’s Burrow. I don’t know him, which I think “how could i not know him back then?”.
I used to study in Monash Malaysia for a year, and I know their goods and bads. I’ve all the rights to condemn them for their wrong-doings. As a matter of fact, Monash being an international institute, such act is unacceptable. Just now I just notice this blog, Coalition for the Abolistment of MUSA, again I feel sorry that I can’t join them for what they are doing. MUSA is a student association back in Malaysia campus, the council is being elected by Monash students. Although it practised democracy, but there are so few students back in Malaysia are willing to vote. During my days in Monash Malaysia, many dudes from MUSA had abused their powers. They have the control power over all student societies under Monash Malaysia, including the funds, and they had abused it. Often they do things without concerning other students, and many decisions made were based on minority decisions. It’s corrupted. I think every dudes in Monash Malaysia should read this blog and have a good thought. You don’t pay your school fees for any parties or institute to expense your rights.
