I was wondering and seriously pondering, to what an extent are
our local universities biased towards foreigners.
Yesterday, while walking along a sheltered connector towards the
canteen, I encountered a huge jam of human flow in the front. It
was later that I found out that a group of PRC students are holding
a signature petition rally for the Beijing 2008. There was this
China student parading abt waving a full sized PRC flag, while the
other student was holding a large plank card with writings, of
support Beijing 2008 and stop western media from demonising PRC.
Some other of their compatroits are manning the signature
books........
I was wondering, why did the university allow such events to be
held? Last time, when the student union wanted to conduct similar
signature gathering on banner, to protest against the increase in
tution fees, the school step
in immediately and stop the union from doing so. Emails were also
sent to threaten the students of the consequences of participating.
The sch used the execuse that such event may cause public nuisance,
and may cause public disorder. So the PRC students waving the flag,
blocking the walk way is not a nuisance? Besides, considering the
sch have quite a number of western nation students, what if a
scuffle broke out between them and the PRC students? Isn't such
things a cause of concern? Lastly, if a student is to hold a
"Pro-Tibet" rally, will the sch approve of
this?...........
Well... when it comes to money... the one who benefit will come to
stop mah...
