The Moley Prophet

While I was back at SIM last week to get my certificates which just arrived from Buffalo, I heard stuff about the new generation of students which I can’t help but agree. I experienced that in Secondary schools too. Students of these days are no longer able to speak up for themselves. I would have thought that the western influence would encourage them to be bolder and more open about such stuff. Yet they got their “Mommy and Daddy” to do it. Seems like western influence only encourages “sex” but nothing else.

After this, I wonder whether I should still speak up for their well-being. If they themselves refuse to stand up for themselves, why am I doing it? Why am I granting them rights when they don’t deserve it? Especially for those students in UB. As a college student of an American institution, this sort of cowardice is totally unacceptable. Who are the ones studying? You have a complaint towards a lecturer, do it yourself, why get your parents to do it? You need something from the school, ASK! Are your parents able to stand up for you forever? Plainly, it’s no…

Up to this point in my life, I have encountered countless situations when my position is at stake, when my reputation and my well-being in the future is at stake. But I never engaged my parents to seek redress. Even when I was dealing with MINDEF, my parents never had to be concerned, they continue their work, and just listen to the latest news. Whenever possible, I try to handle things myself. They only enter the picture when it’s the ultimatum.

MYOB people…
