What Say You, KDU?

KDU - Kolej Damansara Utama, that's the official name. I am not gonna start putting other names that has been created since its establishment but I guess people out there would actually know what I am talking bout.

Few issues:
1) Parking is actually first come, first serve but nevertheless, they still reserve some for staffs. Where's the rational in that? Now, we pay a huge sum of money to KDU every semester or so and KDU prouds itself for being an institution that generates brilliant students and driving their dreams. However, they think that we are somehow STUPID enough to not realise that the basement carpark is empty with parking lots when we make the BIG U-TURN they created for us just because we took the liberty to climb up the hill, approach the grand entrance of our beloved college only to realise that the thousands we pay means nothing as the words of the JAGA is supreme.

2) They want to create a study enviroment where people can enjoy college life, and at the same time achieve fantastic results, which in the end would greatly reflect on their name but they do the best thing that every BIG company would do. They implement bureaucracy. How SMART can someone be to make STUDENT SERVICES CENTRE an OFFICE?? Tell me, HOW SMART?? Student services is supposed to be there for the students, help them whenever they are in need of assistance and help, in order to ensure that their stay there is well taken care of. By being an entire office, where we now have to make an appointment, follow procedures, where is that personal touch? We are going there to seek for help, not get into more trouble!!

3) Law students get 1 rim of paper every sem! This is utter nonsense. How do you expect a law student to survice with 1 rim of paper a semester? We cant even survive with 1 book for 1 subject. It is just never enough. We need those notes, we need those cases, we NEED them papers! Most of the students are outstation students and they rely on the Library as well as the Computer Lab to complete their assignments and get notes. With the amount of papers remaining at 1 rim, which will actually translate to 100 pieces of paper, how are we gonna get all those things we need?? I know I know, the next best thing to say, 'U need more, U pay for more'. Then why not, you pay us back what we paid you, so we can get more of what we really need?? Then maybe thru that, the passing rate would actually be HIGHER!

I've heard many explanations from representatives of the institution but it all just doesn't make a single sense to me. I wouldn't wanna start explaining them here but my main question to the above mentioned issues is this simple line...

WHAT SAY YOU, KDU???

  1. Excellent write up, bro! I like the 2nd point in particular.

    PLEASE GIVE US OUR DESERVED PARKING SPOTS! WHAT'S THE POINT OF US PAYING SO MUCH OF FEES WHEN WE DO GET ANYTHING?

  2. Cheers mate.. =)

    Thanks for your support. Let's fight for what is right and what we deserve. If there's one thing that KDU has thought us, it has thought us to fight for our rights because as far as I am concerned, we have been deprived of them!!

  3. Dude... if you don't like it you should just leave rather than whine incessantly.

    Aren't you the president of the kdu law society? you should just quit if you don't like it and join another college. what you are doing is that you just spit in the air and hit yourself.

  4. =) quitting?? Shouldn't we always stay back and make a difference? I guess the problem with most ppl is to leave everytime there's a problem. Yes, i am the president of the KDU Law Society, that is why i believe that a change has to come.. i am not whining but bringing forward these issues to the attention of the involved party.

    spit in the air and hit myself? well, being the president or even a member of a particular society does not mean that i agree with its policies nor its method of doing things. are u then saying that if everyone has a complaint, there are to leave?? then i think every coll will have ppl leaving from day to day basis.

    besides, i believe that during the campaign trail, the team's theme was 'Towards a Change'.

  5. Well written~
    on the parking matter,there's always a sense of doubt whether I should turn into the college or not coz most of the time I ended up having to make a HUGE U-turn(after the construction of the new route)They always tend to put a cone at the entrance and shake their head(x parking)and that kinda pissed me off.

    Anyway I've always get this feeling that what they care more is whether they get their fees in time anot.Their admin 'sux' big time~

    all the above are just my personal opinion =x

  6. hey blong.. yeah, i totally know what you mean. and the best part is going back down to make the big U-turn only to realise that there is ample of parking space everywhere.

    hahaha.. well, its business i guess.. its normal but then again the thing that really gets me frustated is the fact that we have to pay for the parking. then we cant even get a chance to use it(the student card). then wats the point putting money in there leh??

    hmm, this must be solved quick but the admin doesnt seem to really care.. sadly but true.. =(
