Depreciated...

Our campus has been giving us a 'gift' for the new year, instead of the normal rooms, we have been given a dorm now. 60 people sharing a floor of shop lot opposite the front of HUSM. SHOP LOTS mind you, which aren't suppose to be used for housing purpose also. Imagine that, a local university, forcing their students to stay in a so-called 'hostel' that is not even abiding the laws. There is no proper plan for evacuation in case of emergency. The corridors are so small that one can pass through at each time. Furthermore, our hostel admins are all cowards. Due to the probability of people appealing and complaining, they didn't dare to put out the lists of where the students are staying until the 2nd last day, just before the office hours end, they put it out. It is said that this was done to ensure that students won't have enough time to complain to the managing office. Normally, keys would be distributed on a Friday before the start of the new semesters. This year, we have to get it on a Saturday morning. A lot of people who arrived on Friday were forced to somehow find places to stay as they did not have a room to stay in. This caused many of us students to have to stay in hotels and it cost us a lot of money. About the dorm, the admins were suspiciously selective on their choice for staying at the poorly prepared dorm. Among the listed 90 people going to stay in the dorm, there is more than 57 of them that are non-malays, which indicates that there is something more to it. Non-malays living in the Murni hostel is not even 40% of the total occupants of the Murni hostels, but yet, we manage to get more than 50% of the place in the 'high-class dorm'. Skin colour looks to be one of the criteria of the choice of students living in the better facilitated hostels. For the 3rd and 4th year medical students in Murni, there is only one non-malays left in the Murni hostels. Is this what they call transparency and fair?

We demand to know what is the criteria of selection for the Murni hostels and also why each of us are not given a place in the in-campus hostels as some of us surely have a better record in the co-curriculum activities. We also want to know what is the reason the notice as to which hostel we were to be given was out only 2 days before the beginning of the new semester, causing students to be unable to get a good rest before the start of the new semester due to the rushing the day before. It is also a concerned as to why the notice was able to be released earlier in the years before but not this year. Unless this questions are given a proper answer, we all deeply feel that USMKK DESASISWA MURNI admins are not treating us fairly. To those who have seen this post, please ask others to see and post a comen as a show of support... TQ
