Point well made and point taken.

assalamualaikum

in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful

We have not entered the 3rd week post election and yet, we have seen changes taking place. Everything appears to be more transparent now. MPs required to declare their assets twice within the next 5 years, more people friendly policies and many more could not make people happier.

Pak Lah was saying in The Star today

"I thank the Malaysian people for this message. Point well made and point taken," he said Tuesday in his keynote address at the Invest Malaysia 2008 conference here.

"During the last elections, we lost the cyberwar. The young people were looking at SMSes, Internet and other tools to get information. We did not think that it was important to respond to them. It was a serious misjudgment. It was a very serious mistake on our part."

at least on my part, I thank Pak Lah for his bravery in admitting his/their mistakes. That gesture impresses me. I am a realistic, what needs to be complimented, I will do so. Fanatic and blind loyalty are not part of me. Any wrong needs to be corrected, and the right will be complimented, accordingly.

With regards to Akta Universiti dan Kolej Universiti, good news to all students.

PUTRAJAYA: Menteri Pengajian Tinggi yang baru, Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin, berkata kerajaan akan meminda Akta Universiti dan Kolej Universiti 1971 (AUKU) bagi memberi pelajar dan universiti lebih kebebasan. Beliau berkata, kajian awal mendapati beberapa peraturan dalam AUKU menyekat kreativiti pelajar dan pihak pengurusan universiti untuk mencapai tahap kecemerlangan di peringkat global.

See, when Malaysians voice the opinions out collectively, everyone wins.

Lastly, I would like to bid farewell to Chuan and Ikram. Good luck in the future undertaking. I wish you all the best in becoming the best for Petronas, Malaysia and Islam.

Thank you for the information about AUKU, of which I'm not really updated, not till I read your blog.

There's 1 case at University of Malaya, Malaysia, early this year, of which there are a few people suspended from their studies at the university for being so active in an Islamic society.

I was there at that time (sajor2 menjadi pelajar UM sementara cuti), and from my observation, what those people did isn't bad at all, apatah lagi nak masuk kategori exteremist. But yeah, because of the AUKU, they are not allow to run the society very well and organise Islamic-related events successfully. Ada sajor bangakang dan halangan dari pihak universiti.

Semoga dengan pemindaan AUKU ni, dapat mudahkan perjalanan usaha2 murni masyarakat pintar Malaysia.

but yeah, let's hope those statements are not just a 'planting sugar cane on his lips' so to speak...

and may the new generation of students in malaysia develop a more matured mindset with broader horizons yada3...
