Kita hendak kehadapan, tetapi tidak bersedia untuk pemajuan pemikiran.
Kita hendak kehadapan, tetapi tidak bersedia untuk pengorbanan kemajuan.
Kita hendak kehadapan, tetapi tidak bersedia untuk berhadapan pembaharuan.
The above, are comments I left on a picture uploaded by a staff librarian from UiTM whom I gather, is not fond of the pro-establishment propaganda mooted by some students. I was moved to write that, based on other comments I read.
To an extent, I commend the students to take action and put up such banners, albeit I find their messaging, or more accurately their thinking, ignorant or non-progressive. But I too fall trap in that category, on a number of issues, I’m sure.
What I like about the people who were behind this, was that they were obviously not in agreement with the current state of things, certain student groups fighting for academic political freedom, and they took action for their (albeit poor) views.
Something that these students might not realize is that by doing this, they too are doing what those other students are fighting for. Participating in the public sphere for life, as oppose to being a observer or a mere follower.
