I don't know why i feel emo looking at this photo. I guess the mood of the photo is just as same as what I'm feeling now. I'm hurt with what people said.

Sunrise @ Tun Lim Chong Eu Expressway

It's a brand new day. It's a good start of the week. It's a day filled with love.

My first time being here to take sunrise photos. Thx to Sifu Ch'ng Oon Tian.

I felt so spirited, full of hope and energetic when the sun slowly rises up from the horizon. Life is full of hopes when you don't stop fighting. Life is full of surprises if you realli live to the fullest. Do your best and your life will be as beautiful as the sunrise.

get your facts right

All these while, I have been keeping quiet, not saying anything although I have been framed, criticized, downgraded, humiliated, and accused by someone.

But now before I sleep, I have something to say.

I would like to remind everyone to get your facts right before you say anything because it can become a sedition or defamation. I, OH CHIN ENG, NEVER EVER USE MY PTPTN LOAN TO BUY ANY CAMERA OR DSLR. I bought my DSLR back in 2007 using the money I earn working part time in few places. It’s ridiculous to say that I use PTPTN loan to purchase my DSLR. For your information as well, as a student representative I have never given a cent and I have never taken a cent from the university. You can check it with the university for clarification. If I am self-centered I won’t devote my time, energy, money and reputation to stand up for the students.

I don’t mind and I am so open to criticisms but please debate on facts and not by attacking people’s personal life. Don’t act as if you know me so well.

I am offended by these derogatory remarks. I hate being accused and its hurt. Mind your language. Yes, I feel behsyiok now.

But good news is, you, yes YOU, if you still know who you are after saying I use my PTPTN loan to buy a DSLR, you can continue with your baseless and irresponsible allegations. I’m not gona care anymore. Or let me suggest you this, if you don’t like what people say or write, just go off, don’t listen and don’t read. Don’t torture yourself la.

Thank you and good night.

an IMPORTANT reminder

This is to remind all the UNIVERSITI TUNKU ABDUL RAHMAN Kampar campus students to please pay your student bill by this Friday (11.2.2011). The deadline also applies to those qualified students who didn’t get their PTPTN loan yet.  I already went to the relevant department to inform them about the late imbursement of PTPTN loan. But the officer said the deadline won’t be extended and we must pay the penalty. I repeat, UTAR IS NOT EXTENDING THE DEADLINE! If you are late, you’ll be charged penalty RM10 per week. Good news is you can write a letter to the Division of Examinations to get back your penalty. Good luck!

Late PTPTN, not so good CNY

First of all, I hope the beloved Prime Minister who has been graciously sending us Chinese New Year’s greeting through SMS and e-mail will seriously look into this matter.

I am third year Journalism student from Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR), Kampar campus. The reason I write this letter is to express my distraught, sadness, and disappointment over the late loan by the government.

I am one of the recipients of the National Higher Education Fund Corporation (PTPTN). Usually most of us in UTAR will get the loan a month after the new semester begins. Our semester began on 17^th January but until today, I haven’t got any cent from PTPTN. Same goes to other students from other courses.

This late payment of PTPTN loan seriously cost a lot of troubles to students from lower income families like me. It’s even more troublesome especially during this Chinese New Year festive season. I was not able to prepare much for Chinese New Year. I was left with no choice but to only bought a new pair of clothes and not even able to buy new undergarments.

Another major problem I’m facing now is the student bill is already out. I have to pay about RM6000 by this Friday, 11^th January. Failing to do so, I will be fined RM10 per week for late payment. How am I going to pay the bill if I’m penniless? To rub salt to the wound, I still owe months of hostel rentals. New semester means I have to buy new books too.

This Chinese New Year is definitely not a memorable as well when the southern states in Malaysia were having massive flood. The higher learning institution students in these states are in a very hard situation when their houses are ruined and for sure, they need a lot more money to repair their houses, get new furniture, buy new books and to start new living.

Since the Chinese New Year came earlier, PTPTN should be given earlier to avoid problems to the students. Why this problem occurred? Why the relevant authorities never take this into consideration? Is it the problem of public administration’s incompetency or the technical problem? Without PTPTN, how can we survive? I do not wish to eat bread and instant noodle everyday.

I plead to the PTPTN and Ministry of Higher Education to listen and act on my difficulty as soon as possible. Thank you and salam 1 Malaysia.

From Oh Chin Eng, a citizen who’s eligible to vote in the coming General Election.
