Zaman moden yang serba canggih ni, remaja telah di ketengahkan dengan pelbagai bentuk teknologi, unsur-unsur luar dan juga budaya barat. Ternyata unsur-unsur luar ini telah merosakkan akhlak dan gaya hidup remaja masa kini.
Sukar untuk dinafikan lagi bahawa unsur-unsur barat telah memarcapadakan cara hidup remaja masa kini sehingga mereka lupa akan adab resam mahu pun budaya bangsa sendiri. Siapakah yang harus dipersalahkan?
Kita tidak boleh menuding sebelah jari sahaja dalam hal ini, kerana pelbagai pihak terlibat sama dalam menangani dan mencegah hal ini dari terus menular dan merebak sehingga menjadi epidemik dalam masyarakat kita.
Kita boleh lihat bagaimana reaksi anggota masyarakat kita hari ini terhadap isu melepak ini. Namun, di manakah tindakan mereka? ‘cakap tak serupa bikin’ menjadi perumpamaaan terbaik untuk mendeskripsikan masyarakat kita hari ini.
Sewajarnya dan sedaya upayanya masyarakat seharusnya menjadi wadah terbaik untuk menangani masalah ini. Tidak ketinggalan juga peranan ibu bapa. Ibu bapa menjadi aset utama dan sewajarnya tahu langkah yang perlu diambil dalam usaha menangani masalah melepak di kalangan remaja.

The University and University Colleges Act 1971 (AUKU) may finally be free of its draconian image with a possible amendment soon that may change its flavour for good. There is hope yet for greater freedom of association and expression for university students, writes ANIZA DAMIS.
MENTION the University and University Colleges Act 1971 and most public university students will tell you it’s draconian in nature.
While most would be hard-pressed to detail the contents of the AUKU, it is clear that the act curtails a student’s freedom of association and expression.
Basically, a student cannot have any dealings with any society, political party, trade union or organisation, without advanced written approval from the vice-chancellor.
If the student contravenes these restrictions, it is considered an offence that is punishable, on conviction, by a fine or prison term.
The student is automatically suspended or dismissed from the university without any recourse for continuing his studies.
Although the act is to provide for the establishment, maintenance and administration of universities and university colleges, and has 27 sections to it, it is Section 15 — related to freedom of association and discipline of students — that has been the most contentious.
It has kept calls to abolish or repeal the act alive through the years.
But a recently-tabled amendment by the Higher Education Ministry to the University and University Colleges Act 1971, up for debate at the next parliamentary session, seems fairer, more mature and humane.
Although students will still not be allowed to associate with any political party or unlawful organisation, they will be given the freedom to join any society, organisation (including governmental organisations) or group.
This is regardless of whether or not it is established under any written law, in or outside the university, and in or outside Malaysia.
And, they can do so without permission from the vice-chancellor.
Currently, the vice-chancellor expressly identifies which organisation is allowed. With this amendment, the vice-chancellor has to expressly identify which organisation is not allowed.
Further, a student shall not be prevented from making a statement on an academic matter relating to a subject on which he is engaged in study or research.
Interestingly, the amendment decriminalises offences in the act and removes the criminal penalties provided under Section 15. Therefore, all offences committed by a student under AUKU will be disciplinary offences.
And, in keeping with the principle of “education is the right of all”, the amendment will ensure that there is no reason why a student should be deprived of the opportunity to study, even if he is detained or in prison.
For instance, a student who is charged with a registerable offence (as defined under the Registration of Criminals and Undesirable Persons Act 1969) would no longer face automatic suspension.
The vice-chancellor has the discretion to suspend or dismiss the student. He can also only be suspended or dismissed if a serious offence has been committed.
A student who has been dismissed from the university may also apply to enter the same university or another university, with permission from the minister.
A student in detention or imprisonment may sit for university examinations with the permission of the senate and home minister. A student who is suspended may enter another university with the written permission of the minister.
And, if a student is discharged or acquitted of a registerable offence, the period in which he was suspended or imprisoned (if detained while awaiting trial or appeal) will not be counted towards the overall maximum period of study.
If a student faces disciplinary charges, he has the right to be heard and represented at the disciplinary hearing. And for a student to be stripped of his degree, only the chancellor can do it with the support of not less than two-thirds of the university board.
Unlike previously, where the definition of “student” referred only to undergraduates, this amendment seeks to extend it to any student who is following a course of study, instruction, training or research at the preparatory, undergraduate, post-graduate or post-doctoral level, including distance-learning, off-campus, exchange and non-graduating students.
This means while only undergraduates are currently allowed to hold positions in university societies or be a member of the student representative council, with this amendment, a mature post-graduate student can also avail himself of the full extent of university life.
And, keeping in mind the right of everyone to education, the amendment has also taken into consideration the rights of politicians who may want to further their studies in public universities.
Although a student is not allowed to be a member of a political party, the vice-chancellor may give exemption to any politician who wishes to become a student in the university, thus enabling any serving politician to enroll for a course at a university without giving up his political career.
Even more liberating, under this proposed amendment, Section 15C, presumptions will be deleted. Currently, under this section, if a person is found in possession, custody or control of any books, accounts, writings, lists of members, seals or banners relating to any organisation, it is presumed, until the contrary is proven, that such a person is a member of such an organisation.
With this amendment, this automatic presumption of guilt is removed.

Q: Do you see growth for your business as you look forward?
A: The digital media industry in Asia-Pacific as a whole is growing at the moment and we want to leverage on that.

There is the possibility of developing other variants in the future for particular markets. Looking forward, we have the flexibility to further develop the Web site to include local language services in the future.
Overall, for the digital media business, we are in a position where we can produce content specifically for the platform that it will be consumed. For our new media initiatives, being engaging, entertaining and interactive are key to connecting with our audience and reinforcing our brand.

Terengganu Menteri Besar Datuk Ahmad Said clarifying the issue over the state’s purchase of the Mercedes Benz cars to reporters in Seri Iman, Kuala Terengganu yesterday. |
PUTRAJAYA: The 14 Mercedes Benzes purchased by the Terengganu government are to be used only for its guests.
The decision was conveyed to Terengganu Menteri Besar Datuk Ahmad Said in his meeting with Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and Datuk Seri Najib Razak after the Umno supreme council meeting on Thursday.
The prime minister said he and Najib met Ahmad and discussed the purchase of the cars which Ahmad had said would be used as state official cars.
“I wish to state here that this is an important decision by the cabinet, that the state government must not use the cars for its state executive councillors or any officers entitled to use official cars. This is what we have decided upon,” he said.
“Since the cars have been bought and to sell them would only result in a loss, all of them must be used for state guests or dignitaries.
“This is the decision, nothing more, nothing less,” he told a press conference after giving away the 2007 National Academic Awards at the Putrajaya International Convention Centre yesterday.
The Proton Perdana will, therefore, remain as the official vehicles for the state’s officers.
Tan Sri Professor Emeritus Syed Jalaludin Syed Salim, who is Halal Industry Development Corporation chairman and Universiti Putra Malaysia board of directors’ chairman, won the “Tokoh Akademik Negara” award.
Universiti Malaya’s Professor Onn Hashim and Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia’s Associate Prof Nordin Hussin won the Journal and Book Publications awards respectively.
The Product Commercialisation and Innovation and Creativity and Arts awards went to UPM’s Associate Prof Dr Syed Omar Syed Rastan and Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris’s Associate Prof Zulkifli Yusoff respectively.
Also present were Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Khaled Nordin and university vice-chancellors.
Ahmad, in defending the purchase of the cars, had said all the menteris besar in other states knew that the official Proton Perdana V6 Executive cars were faulty, but did not want to admit it.
“I am not a hypocrite, I am telling the truth. I am being transparent here. Proton should see this in a positive light and improve itself. I have to think of how to save the rakyat’s money. Ask any engineer around and they will tell you that the Mercedes E200 Kompressors are more economical in the long run,” he had said before chairing the weekly state exco meeting at a five-star hotel here recently.
Ahmad sparked an outcry last week with the revelation of the state’s RM3.43 million expenditure on the Mercedes cars as a “cost-cutting measure”.
He had also claimed the state government had spent RM1.15 million to maintain its fleet of 16 Perdanas since they were purchased in 2004.
Abdullah was also asked on the Anti-Corruption Agency investigation into the high maintenance and service cost of the Perdana Executive cars.
“It is left to the ACA to investigate if there are elements of corruption. They know their jobs well and we should leave it to them.”
ACA officers had taken files and recorded statements from four drivers in their investigation into the high maintenance costs of the Perdana Executive cars.
