The Fallen Heroes

“To give up the task of reforming society is to give up one’s responsibility as a free man”. There was once a girl - Charismatic, smart, energetic, social able and a multi-language learner. She can be a soft-spoken companion or a piercing debater. Days before the 2009/2010 varsity general election, she was one of the most highly anticipated soon-to-be candidates for Faculty of Economics. Unfortunately, she forgoes her only chance. Her name is Xinmin.

“When you ain’t got nothing you got nothing to lose”. This quote can be suited to the best man of Malays gang. I label them “the three musketeers” – Amar, Azan and Azrul. This is no joke. Screening through their resumes, you would realize that one of them was the scholar of Bank Negara, another was the scholar of Telekom and the last one had a medical study in Australia before. Of course the papers’ ink cannot prove everything. But, judging from their participation in lectures, their works and their personalities, you might eventually agree with me.

Still, they couldn’t overcome one thing – the population of Chinese in FEA. Needless to say, majority rules in democracy and so the musketeers didn’t expect much during the AGM. Still, Amar won the presidency of PEKUMA. However, their party destroyed by the carelessness of the ex-PEKUMA leaders. They did not even get the approval from the HEP for their AGM and consequently, the AGM must be redone. Damn it!

Some of you may ask “Is that all the FEA got?”

Let’s face it. Everyone in FEA seeks benefits and plans to achieve something while they are still fully or partly out of the real work environment. The only thing that matters is “are you making it at the expense of others?” Well, Mr. Corrupted and gel man just did it. But never judge FEA by its trashes. There are two CEOs, namely Joanne Leong and Cassandra – the most outstanding leaders of AIESEC UM. Their scientific management and brilliance awarded them a title of “Iron Ladies”. Alas, they do not care so much about FEA.(indeed, both of them are genuinely independent)

But, some may argue that “why should we bother them? Even they choose not to be involved anything in their own faculty”. No, this is wrong, damn wrong. At the outset, the conquering senior gang had already feed so many opportunities to their assigned juniors. Bear in mind that some of them even went so far to pick up pretty juniors or those came from their secondary school. There are plenty of things which they do it in closed door. (I think I don't need to explain about this) One hand cannot clap alone. The truth is, these juniors are not only brainy, and they even master the skill of “know-who”compared to those book worms with “know-how” only. Since then, the two sagas begin their cunning plan – reap off all the advantageous activities which could spice up their resumes, enjoying the sense of being admired and having their vacations that covered by the name “wakil UMFEA”. The cost is, you and me have to seek other organizations that could provide the same benefits. I mean, at least some choices should be provided before we can be alleged as ignorant.

Of course, there are numerous future leaders in FEA – Clarence, Alex Goon, Wu Kuan Yeng, Nirmala, Jessica Low, Teng Siang, Jee Yeng, Loi tick Hong and a lot more! Some failed to be representative and the power falls into one person’s hands (monopoly). Even they do so; it is meaningless as they do not own any authority. Worse come to worst, even the I-week Chairman can be said as promoted by him. A man is not moral because he is obedient through fear or ignorance. Morality lives in the realm of perceived obligation – Robert G Ingersoll.
