Hello UTPians and ex-UTPians!

It's good to be able to blog again after a long break. Writing a column is not easy, it’s not easy to correlate the content of life. Sometimes what we write will give us trouble, and we (the crew) used to get into trouble from our own writing. Well, we live every day of our lives on one slippery slope that either we go around making trouble for ourselves or not, it will happen anyway.

So lets go with the flow, if UTPian Media is gonna be a problem in nature to anybody then we'll just let it be, coz noway we can satisfy everybody.

For some of us (the crew), the campus life is completely over, but since we still have the passion to write about the university matters, then we think we should better get going and voice out our opinion and criticism for the betterment of our beloved UTP. We believe in the pillar of giving the idea especially but not limited to the UTP student so that they open up their mind, It's easier to put on slippers than to carpet the whole world if you understand what we mean.

We will try not to write about national politics, about how politician conspired immense conspiracy to one another etc, enough people have done that even though somehow or rather the university student are still being mostly influenced by political ideology and movement. We know that those who obsess with a particular political party are always prone to confound truth with falsehood, and knowingly conceal the truth and ridicule others by spreading lies and persecution.

When it comes to politics, even a fanatic supporter might purposely neglect and put aside the Islamic teachings knowing that kind words and the covering of faults are better than charity, to defame their political opponents so that people will favor the political party of their choice. Among them are even uneducated folk who know everything not except from hearsay. We are tired of hearing these people say "That people do not follow anything good" and that people say "These people do not follow anything good", while they recite the same Book. Mankind was one single nation, but the way we quarrel seemed like we hope for the establishment of a separate country for each and every one of us.

Allah sent Messengers with glad tidings and warnings; and with them He sent the Book in truth, to judge between people in matters wherein they differed; but the People of the Book, after the clear Signs came to them, did not differ among themselves, except through selfish contumacy. We live in an age while others make history, the unnecessary things are the only thing that we politically strive for.

If we just let this illness remains, then get ready to be hated, discriminated against, protested and demonstrated against somebody by the hatred that hate produced. God gave us shoes, to fit us, so put them on and wear them and be the people God wants us to be. Everybody, should ask themselves.. How or why we ended up being in the position we are in now, in what direction we are actually moving?. Do we really need to cut ourselves to see how much it bleeds?

Hopefully, let the bitterest tears shed over graves are not deeds left undone.

Terlebih dahulu kami ucapkan Salam Bicara 1Universiti sebagai pembuka bicara dan selamat berpuasa kepada seluruh UTPian.

Kami blog cara Chancellor kita lah senang ok.




1. Alhamdulillah syukur kehadrat Ilahi kerana sekali lagi kita diberi peluang untuk menikmati bulan Ramadhan, bulan dimana kalau hari biasa Masjid UTP hanya dipenuhi paling banyk pun tiga saf, bulan ramadhan sekurangnya2 waktu isyak dan tarawikh ada 13 saf, just kidding but seriously!

2. Biasalah bila tiba saja bulan ramadhan, selain ibadah, juadah berbuka juga menjadi satu keutamaan tambah2 lg kepada para student yg duk berjauhan dari keluarga, bilamana tak dapat menikmati hidangan yg disediakan emak/keluarga dirumah maka option juadah dari bazaar ramadhan menjadi pengganti.

3. Sekitar luar UTP kita ada beberapa pilihan bazaar ramadhan, antaranya bazaar ramadhan di Seri Iskandar. Bagi pelajar yg berkenderaan, boleh lah pergi setiap hari kesana namun bg pelajar yg tidak mempunyai transportation let say pelajar junior baru dan foreigners i.e Egyptian, maka café2 UTP lah akan menjadi tempat untuk mereka membeli juadah berbuka. Namun bilamana dalam setahun sudah 11 bulan berulang alik ke café sama untuk makan makanan yang sama, tiap2 hari makan kt Pak Ali siapa yang tidak bosan…? Bulan ramadhan biarlah merasa makanan lain pula.

4. Dengan itu inisiatif untuk mengadakan bazaar ramadhan sepertimana yg diadakan di UTP sekrg diaplikasikan, antara lain untuk menghidupkan Susana ramadhan ala Malaysia. Untuk pengetahuan, bazar Ramadhan tahun ini, bukanlah yg kali pertama. Pada tahun 2007, pihak Rakan Masjid UTP melalui Minggu Penghayatan Ramadhan (MPR) pernah menganjurkan bazaar Ramadhan utk peniaga dari sekitar Tronoh dan Seri Iskandar.

5. Penganjuran ini berjaya berlangsung beberapa hari sebelum mendapat tentangan dari pihak Cafe di UTP. Atas alasan; persaingan dan melibatkan beberapa isu legal dgn pihak pengurusan UTP mengenai status dan hak Cafe, bazar Ramadhan yang julung-julung kali di adakan ini terpaksa dibatalkan serta-merta. Sedikit sebanyak memberi kesan negatif terhadap imej UTP dari kalangan peniaga tempatan. Apa yang boleh dipelajar; Pembatalan bazaar tentu saja boleh dielakkan jika pihak penganjur mengkaji setiap aspek dan sudut dari segi implementasi dll. Namun kerana tidak cukup persediaan dan kajian dari segi aspek hak dan peraturan, bila disergah café UTP maka mereka terus rebah.

6. Oleh itu wajar untuk kita mempersoalkan, untuk penganjuran bazaar kali ini, Adakah pihak penganjur (MPPUTP) sudah buat assignment? Faktanya penjualan makanan waktu Ramadhan berlangsung masa tahun 2009 adalah yang paling berjaya dan meriah. Pada masa itu ia dianjurkan oleh RCSU, satu badan pelajar yang dilantik bukan atas dasar politik sempit, kepartian, keRakanan atau aliran..

7. Antara resepi kejayaan bazaar ramadhan 2009 yg boleh dikongsikan disini adalah bazaar tersebut simple - buka meja, bentang alas meja, jual kt ruang cafe v3, v4 tu. Peniaga luar, kakitangan UTP antara yang terlibat menyediakan juadah.

8. Mungkin the honourable MPPUTP patut semak dan rujuk dengan RCSU dan RM yang dah ada pengalaman dalam penganjuran Bazaar Ramadhan semoga bazaar ramadhan dari tahun ketahun ada improvement bukan berada pada tahap yg sama or mcm tahun ni.. sorry to say makin unorganized!.

9. Kalau bazaar pon tak leh nk handle maka kredibiliti mpputp utk handle bigger n more significant event amat diragui. Post mortem yang selama ni buat untuk apa kalau bukan untuk perbaiki kelemahan untuk waktu yang macam ni betul tak?

10. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to fulfill it. Renung2kan dan selamat beramal!
