Student Societies...学生团体名单

In Malaysia we always hear about the students controlled or watch over by 'High rank' officers. Some more we have the AUKU (Act of University and Colleges), it make students cannot do this cannot do that, treat student like children in kindergarden. The act limited student to join any other organizations without approval form University. AUKU just like another kind of ISA in University!

Let see how the UK's university work: Here we do not have any act to limit students freedom to join any society, to create any society or to do any activities. Secondly, they allow any kind of society register under student union as long as it is legal, some of the societies may be strange to us like Campaigning Societies (Solidarity Iran, Student Against War Society and.....) and Political Societies ( Labour Club, Socialist Club and.....). 

Can you imagine that University Malaya got something like "DAP society" or "Anti ISA" Society? But you can have such thing in the UK's school.

在英国大学，学生团体可以说是百花齐放，自由度非常高。比较起马来西亚甚至许多亚洲国家，这里的学生团体有更多的自由和自主空间。不像马来西亚有一些压制大学生言论自由或‘行动’自由的畸形法令，当大学生是长不大的孩子。慢慢的，我国的大学生就被培养成全世界最‘守规矩’的但没有思想的未来国家栋梁。更槽糕的是大学生以慢慢地对社会冷漠，更不用说有任何的关怀世界的心怀了。

亚洲家长式的教育制度是阻碍大学生思想发展的绊脚石，是使学术落后的黑手。可惜的是家长式制度就如我们的文化之一，要打破这个格局是一件不容易的事情；只有允许大学生思想自由的环境下，才能培养素质高的人才，无论是在文科或理科方面。

上面是爱丁堡大学学生团的体名单，我们可以看看这里的实际情况是如何，可以看看这些所谓世界级排名的大学是如何对待大学生的活动；就凭学生团体这一环，我们就可以明白为什么马大的排名一年不如一年，唉！
