for all friends out there...
a lot of chinese people in Malaysia still do not really understand about NEC, especially the younger generations, and also those attended government high school. some, never even heard of it. some, heard of it, but never really try to understand it.
a crisis has landed to the hope of chinese academic .
it has been our dream to set up an university of our own (chinese community) with its own set of academic system.
after years of hard fought, the forefathers had succeeded in building up private chinese high schools, and in later years, fight to set up a university but failed.
years later, New Era College was born, in 1998.
New Era College has been the representative of the strength and is a stronghold of chinese community, the strength to carry on the chinese educational system, a rather different system than the other local colleges and universities provide.
Dr. Kua, the principal of NEC has been onto this daunting task to lead our way to be upgraded into a university status.
As one of the graduated students, i daresay that NEC is very different than any other colleges and universities and thus we are proud of that.
the rapid changes by the board of directors is a threat to the campus democracy of the students, and also the academic freedom (contents of teaching that differs from other colleges).
discontinuing of the principal seem to be the last and bolder move of all by the board of directors. the board of directors in reality do not have the ultimate power to determine the selection of principals. WHY? because NEC is a community college, built up by the financial support of the local chinese community.
without the chinese local nations support, NEC would not have stand till this day.and also without people like those before of us, NEC would never born. and without people like Dr Kua, who is ever so active and ever so bold in voicing out his own oppositional views, chinese higher academic has no more future. (i am sorry to sound so negative but, yet... if you know more about this, you will think the same as we do.)
if Dr Kua has done anything wrong, it is that he is brave enough to stand against those in power. If he is not a good principal, why would the students stand out to support him? why on earth would the 5 head of departments resigned in protest? why would ALL lead of departments all signed to show support to Dr Kua? and WHY... would the elder respected role models for chinese communities, TOO showed support to Dr Kua?may all of this "explosive events" stop soon.
what the students, parents and the chinese communities want, is a solid answer. of WHY the service of Dr Kua is no longer needed. and a solid and appropriate policies and plans for the future of the administration of NEC.
the future of NEC is at stake. so is the student's future.
as a graduated student, i am worrying for the future of my later batch of friends, who is still currently determined to stand up against the powerful DJZ till the last second, until a desired reply is given.
and here i am talking about NEC that we used to know. not the NEC it is about to become.
too bad i can't give a more complete overview here. anyhow... here's a video taken by the students of NEC... they have had their say.. what about you?
pls show your support too! =)
