malaysian government to the extent of getting students involved in politics even in... overseas?!?..

am not discounting the below email a 'hoax'... BUT... there won't be any smoke if there's no fire...

am quite surprise with the response... the link to this article and the response fm the public can be found below this msg...

think i read somewhere in the response column that umno actually paid an all expense trip for a student to come back for their last meeting and then fly back!...

all this is because they wanna gather more support which they know they are lacking recently?!?...

using tax payers money for their personal gain?!?...

using tax payers money for the interest of their own party?!?...


p/s ; if this is to be proven true.. then, umno fellas who 'approved' this kinda stuffs better watch their back.. but then again, umno = bn = aab = government = country = malaysia.. democratic country my arse!...







(An Malaysian student in UK, IG, asked in his email: “Malaysian Law outlaws any student participation in politics, why are local political parties allowed to set up clubs overseas to ‘corrupt’ us.” This is his email:)

Something however has been troubling us for a while. We see the constant use of race to divide us and promulgate an agenda that is supposed to benefit the majority. Our local Malaysian Societies have been infiltrated by UMNO and MCA and any legitimate discussion about the state of affairs in Malaysia is anathema. We are forced to tow the Government’s line and those who do not are branded un-Malaysian. I find this most unfair.

I was offered a a membership with one of the mainstream political parties that have set up their base here under the illusion of an overseas club, I proudly rejected the offer hoping to remain politically neutral and take time to form my political thought and be my own man.

Sadly this is no longer possible. UMNO is not only bank-rolling the operations of the UMNO CLub but they are offering financial incentives to their members. MCA is no better as the Chinese feel they need to unite against a very conservative Malaysian Society, sadly again, they are heavily influenced by the impotent MCA in Malaysia.

I proposed to a few of my friends that we must set up an alternative body to counter the influence of the mainstream parties. Why don’t we have an opposition overseas club, though I heavily oppose the idea of Malaysian political parties setting up bases overseas and influencing Malaysian Students, I believe we can only beat them when we play their game.

That’s why I am asking you good self to agree to establishment of a DAP UK Club, so that Malaysian students studying here will have a choice as to who they would like to join. A racist Government or lend a helping hand to an emerging Opposition…

Another point I wish to add, the fact that Malaysian Law outlaws any student participation in politics, why are local political parties allowed to set up clubs overseas to “corrupt” us. Maybe this is a point that ought to be raised in Parliament.
