DAMAGED !

As I was happily went for the Borneo Night dinner

<the story of the dinner I will tell later on>

then went back to the office. Frany told us that the Times, a local band who were supposed to make a performance on 13th March 2011 in UTM had made a status which had lotsa nasty comments in there. And almost all the comments were posted by the UTM students itself and I knew some of them.

Because of this one person, the whole council had their name dirtied. I just wanna stressed out that the cancellation of the Times concert was not made by the MPM. I repeat again, not by MPM. Almost all the MPM had their neutral decisions which were agreed and disagreed about the concert. Mr Pres had talked with the Director of the fiesta and both of them had some mutual of understanding about the guidelines that should be taken during the concert. And I, happily thought that I can go to the concert for some entertainment break after the long pain-in-the-ass week. However, yesterday morning, one of us 

<who should not be name, but then again, I really wanna put a name here because I felt so hellish right now>

posted about the cancellation of the concert, the haunted house and the rhythm of champions.

Wattahell !!!

<mun boleh mok jak kmk ngkah nama lam tuk tp memandangkan bnda tuk too public so kmk malas mok mengerohkan keadaan>

Wei, you should talk to the Pres before you do anything that can jeopardized our name. Because of what you said earlier, I was so freaking tired of answering all of ma friends questions. And at the same time you get the insult from them. What do you care about that right because yg kena adalah semua. BUT, if you protest about the concert and you should give your alternative about what event should be organized to replace the concert. Then, it will be soo OK for all of us. 

< kmk rasa la...>

Anyway, I didn't say that you are wrong but your way of dealing the issue made us feel like invisible. What's the point being a family if this very small issue can't be handled properly?

I knew that UTM is a very Islamic place and some think that the concert can bring the hedonisme culture to the students. Cmon la! The culture had been in Malaysia long before we were born. Well, that was so exaggerated. Let's think this way, if you wanna make a/some sins, you can make it ANYWHERE, ANYTIME with ANYONE! It's just depend to the individuals to do or not to do. We are no children. We are an adult who can differentiate from RIGHT and WRONG. Our mind should think for both sided party and think about the long term relationship with the media which can cause a lotsa destructive events. It's a technology era and ONE NASTY COMMENT ON THE WALL can bring down the whole troops. I suggest that next time, let's called for a WIN-WIN situations!

The Times concert had been cancelled and I assume that almost everyone who had already  booked the night for concert will bring their frustrated heart to watch the JomHeboh concert at Danga Bay. What do you think guys? Which concert is easier to handle the attitude of the students?

< the attitudes of the students doesn't mean that ALL but SOME, ok! >

Assalamualaikum warah matullahi wabarokatu,

Saya mewakili pelajar UTM mengucapkan semoga berjaya dan mohon maaf di atas segala kesulitan yang berlaku melibatkan The Times dan program International Johor Horse Show.

Saya merasakan perlu untuk saya menulis kenyataan ini, kerana kami pihak MPM tidak mahu salah faham ini berlarutan melibatkan ...nama MPM UTM dan seterusnya kami ingin semua pihak untuk tahu bahawa kami tidak terlibat langsung dari segi membuat keputusan untuk membatalkan konsert The Times di UTM. Untuk pengetahuan semua, pihak MPM telah pun mengambil kira kepentingan semua pihak untuk berbincang dengan pihak penganjur untuk pembaikan dari segi persembahan The Times supaya mereka boleh diterima masuk ke dalam UTM, dengan memberikan garis panduan yang sepatutnya seperti pemakaian yang sesuai, lagu yang sesuai dan tingkah laku yang sesuai pada 8 hb Mac 2011 (Selasa). Pengarah Festival Johor International Horse Show, Saudara Sayed juga tahu tentang perkara ini dan beliau akan memaklumkan kepada pihak The Times untuk mematuhi peraturan dan pada masa itu, kami telah mencapai persetujuan bahawa The Times boleh meneruskan persembahan, tetapi mengikut garis panduan yang diberikan. Kami mengambil tindakan ini kerana sesetengah pihak seperti PMI yang mahukan konsert itu dibatalkan, kerana pada petang hari Selasa, pihak PMI telah pun berjumpa dengan kami pihak MPM. [...]

Fret not to all the UTM artists because I had gave my proposal to the others about organizing an event to broaden the talent in the students. I knew ALL of you got talents but don't have the platform to show it to the whole UTMworld. And just after the Borneo Night, it seems like Mr Pres is agreed about the idea and I really hopeful that it can become a reality.
