Laman Pilihanraya Umum Malaysia Ke 11

Berita-berita media: Antara sahih atau palsu

Oleh: Gerbang_IPTA 2004

Berikut adalah sebahagian daripada berita-berita dari laman web dan media semasa. Diharap semua rakyat dapat menilai sendiri betapa kemenangan adalah dipihak kita kerana kita menang di 4 universiti utama dan kita tidak tewas di UM, UUM dan UPM kerana proses pilihanraya di boikot mahasiswa. Dari berita-berita ini kita dapat melihat nada kecewa kerana kegaga;an mereka untuk merampas semua kampus tidak berjaya dan apa yang memberi tamparan hebat ialah jumlah peratusan keluar mengundi di UIA adalah yang paling tinggi sekali. Ini menunjukkan betapa mahasiswa antarabangsa pun menyokong perjuangan kita. Selain itu terdapat percanggahan dan fakta yang tidak benar dari kalangan media kerajaan seolah-olah tidak mahu mengaku kalah:

Campus polls dominated by ‘pro-establishment’ faction

‘Pro-establishment’ candidates took control of most of the major universities following yesterday’s nationwide campus elections, marred by boycotts and allegations of irregularities by their rivals.

Popularly known as ‘Aspirasi Kerajaan’ (government aspiration), the ‘pro-establishment’ candidates reigned supreme in Universiti Malaya (UM), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) and Universiti Institut Teknologi Malaysia (UiTM).

Whereas, the ‘anti-establishment’ teams launched boycotts in UM, UPM and UUM, claiming that they have been subjected to unfair and biased election rules.

However, this faction retained its control in three universities - Universiti Islam Antarabangsa (UIA), Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) and Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM).

In UIA, where most students are seen to be PAS sympathisers, ‘anti-establishment’ candidates won with a landslide victory when the faction lost just a single seat out of 25 seats.

This came about as a surprise as many were expecting a setback due to the implementation of the new e-voting system, the short one-day campaigning period and the reduced number of seats from 37 to 25.

Close fight in USM

In USM, the faction only managed to scrap through with a mere one-seat majority. The team won 19 seats as opposed to 18 by the ‘pro-establishment’ group. The ‘pro-establishment’ candidates won seven of them uncontested.

In UTM, a recount was conducted in one seat due to the same number of votes received by two candidates. Here, the ‘anti-establishment’ faction took 28 of the 45 seats.

According to media reports, the ‘anti-establishment’ team also succeeded in retaining control in Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris in Perak (UPSI) but malaysiakini could not obtain the results immediately.

Despite the e-voting system, UPM only announced its election result at about 2am today, much to chagrin of students and candidates.

It is learnt that the late announcement was due to the ballot boxes being transported from UPM branches in Kuala Berang, Terengganu, where polling was conducted manually.

Here, ‘pro-establishment’ candidates won 42 seats while their rivals took six seats.

Clean sweep

It was almost a clean sweep for ‘pro-establishment’ candidates in UM, who won 36 of the 39 seats up for grabs.

The two seats in the Islamic studies faculty remained vacant as both sides did not nominate anyone. The university will appoint representative to fill the vacancies.

However, this landslide victory in the country’s oldest university was an expected one after 22 of the 39 seats went uncontested after nomination closed on Saturday.

It was the first time in eight years that UM was controlled by the ‘pro-establishment’.

The coup, was however due to ‘anti-establishment’ candidates withdrawing in protest after claiming that university officials had refused to endorse their nomination forms without reason.

In UUM, all 39 seats went uncontested to ‘pro-establishment’ candidates due to a ‘anti-establishment’ boycott.

Whereas in UKM, ‘pro-establishment’ candidates won 26 seats and the ‘anti-establishment’ team five.

Budaya berpuak-puak masih kukuh di setiap IPTA

oleh: MARZITA ABDULLAH 

PILIHAN raya kampus semalam menyaksikan penguasaan calon-calon proaspirasi kerajaan di 15 daripada 17 institusi pengajian tinggi awam (IPTA).

Walaupun berjaya menguasai Universiti Malaya (UM) ekoran pemulauan calon-calon Gagasan, namun calon-calon aspirasi masih gagal menakluk Universiti Islam Antarabangsa Malaysia (UIAM) malah `terlepas' Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI) kepada calon-calon bukan proaspirasi.

Kegagalan menguasai UIAM merupakan tamparan kepada calon-calon aspirasi kerana peratus pelajar yang keluar mengundi di UIAM adalah yang tertinggi di kalangan IPTA.

Seperti biasa, setiap kali selesai pilihan raya kampus, IPTA yang telah dilabelkan sebagai propembangkang akan menafikan sekeras-kerasnya kecenderungan calon-calon tersebut terhadap kumpulan-kumpulan tertentu.

Bagi pihak pentadbiran universiti, mereka menyifatkan perkara tersebut sengaja diadakan-adakan oleh pihak-pihak tertentu untuk menjatuhkan imej mereka seperti yang terjadi di UIAM dan UPSI.

Namun benarkah tidak wujud kumpulan pelajar atau calon yang bertanding, yang mendokong dan dikongkong oleh pandangan politik partisan sepanjang berlangsungnya pilihan raya kampus itu?

Pihak universiti telahpun meletakkan syarat bahawa calon yang bertanding mestilah mewakili diri sendiri, bukan lagi mewakili satu-satu kumpulan atau persatuan.

Maka diwujudkan kerusi fakulti, umum atau bebas, bagaimanapun rata-rata pelajar dan pegawai universiti yang ditemui mengesahkan budaya berpuak-puak dan berkumpulan terutama kecenderungan ke arah sesebuah parti politik masih kukuh di setiap IPTA.

Justeru didapati ada kumpulan-kumpulan seperti Gagasan, We Unite For Islam (WUFI), Gabungan Mahasiswa Universiti (GMU), Persatuan Mahasiswa Islam (PMI), Revo, Persatuan Kebangsaan Pelajar Islam Malaysia (PKPIM), Sahabah Persatuan Untuk Belia Baru UM (UMANY) dan beberapa kumpulan lain, sama ada `dihalal' atau `diharamkan' oleh pihak universiti.

Di UM, tidak perlu dinafikan sikap berpuak-puak yang amat jelas terutama pada hari penamaan calon.

Beberapa kumpulan pelajar dengan sebuah kumpulan lengkap berpakaian seragam, malah kumpulan ini juga mengasingkan diri seolah-olah mengelak dan tidak mahu bergaul dengan kumpulan lain.

Di UIAM sendiri, setiap kali diumumkan kemenangan seseorang calon, laungan `Allahuakbar' bergema dan adakah ini tidak cenderung atau mirip kepada amalan sebuah parti politik?

Betapa hebatnya pilihan raya kampus malah kehebatan dan kehangatannya memang tidak kurang sedikitpun daripada pilihan raya umum untuk memilih pemimpin negara.

Namun jika diamati, di manakah letaknya akujanji pelajar yang telah ditanda tangani ketika menjejak kaki ke menara gading, yang berjanji untuk berfikiran terbuka dan tidak dikongkong oleh pandangan politik partisan.

Jika pihak universiti mahupun pelajar di UIAM ataupun UPSI berpegang kepada kebenaran bahawa mereka tidak berpihak kepada mana-mana kumpulan, maka mereka sendiri perlu membuktikannya.

Buktikan pemikiran mereka tidak dikongkong dan tidak akan dipengaruhi oleh mana-mana pihak sama ada yang dilakukan secara halus oleh pihak dalaman universiti ataupun dari luar universiti.

Buktikan apa juga aktiviti mereka tidak ada kaitan langsung atau berbau politik partisan dan dibiayai oleh mana-mana kumpulan politik.

Buktikan mandat yang diamanahkan itu tidak dipersia-siakan dan bersama-sama menyokong untuk meneruskan aspirasi serta wawasan kerajaan, terutama kepada bakal guru yang akan membentuk generasi pemimpin masa depan negara.

‘Pro-government’ candidates in near clean sweep

PUTRAJAYA: “Pro-government” candidates almost managed a clean sweep in the public universities’ student representative council elections this year. 

Higher Education Minister Datuk Dr Shafie Mohd Salleh said all public universities had either recorded a clean sweep or a high majority of pro-government candidates winning – except at International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) and Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI) where “pro-opposition” candidates took control of the student representative councils. 

At UPSI, he said 14 “pro-opposition” candidates had taken control of the 26-member council while IIUM’s “pro-opposition” candidates had recorded a slim majority with 14 seats to 11 seats for the “pro-government” candidates. 

“I am convinced that the pro-government candidates did well because undergraduates are impressed with the way Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi is running the country.  

“I also make it a point to be approachable and encourage students to speak to me whenever I am visiting any university,” he said after officiating at a dialogue between Kolej Universiti Kejuruteraan dan Teknologi Malaysia and players in the IT industry and related government agencies. 

Dr Shafie said the Government had also shown its concern for students’ welfare by creating a separate Higher Education Ministry. 

“We are also looking into increasing hostels so that 80% of students can live on campus,” he said. 

On another matter, Dr Shafie said students in both public and private institutions of higher learning would soon have to take up “elements of entrepreneurship” as part of their degree programmes.
