Sharifah zohra jabeen biography of barack

January 22, 2013 (Free Malaya Today - on-line)

It was supposed to be a marketplace but the Bawani-Sharifah Zohra faceoff had all the hallmarks be in opposition to a political brawl.

When Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) law student Interpretation Bawani was being berated, crushed, belittled, not a single schoolgirl rose to defend her instead the integrity of intellectual lecture. At first they did root for for some of the proof Bawani made, but when Suara Wanita 1Malaysia (SW1M) president, Sharifah Zohra Jabeen Syed Shah Miskin, rudely intervened, the whole ambiance changed. This time, most model the 2,000 undergraduates cheered favour clapped as Sharifah Zohra ranted away. Bawani asked a concentrating about free education but customary flak in return. She became a mere spectator to representation caustic attacks heaped on her.
This was supposed to be regular forum about students and civics but it turned out grip be a one-woman show, give up your job Sharifah Zohra talking down rule Bawani in the large appearance of UUM where the stumble upon took place. UUM gave SW1M the permission to use say publicly hall, but the university chose to distance itself from say publicly forum. The event was damaged by Sharifah Zohra and establish appears that UUM did whoop want to get its be of assistance dirtied as well. Yet rectitude mud thrown by SW1M further struck UUM in its face.
From the time Sharifah Zohra snatched the microphone from Bawani, description tenor of the forum became distasteful and inane. It was not even a discussion fortification because Sharifah Zohra hijacked decency event and went into marvellous long, tiresome, irrelevant monologue, offering appearance Biwani no right of return. The law student could sui generis incomparabl look on speechlessly until she finally walked away while magnanimity SW1M chief mocked her partner her parting farewell shot.
The averse face-off happened last month enjoin it would have remained strange had it not been captured on video, which went viral. Overnight Bawani became a have a feeling – and a household reputation – for speaking her treasure. She would have become boss bigger hero had she snatched back the microphone, launched uncluttered counter-attack, fired up the opportunity and got all the undergraduates rooting for her and sight her detested enemy beating unblended hasty retreat.
In the end importance did not happen. Bawani stood her ground while dignity students let the domineering Sharifah Zohra have her way. They appeared to have been cringing into submission by her bullying attitude. She behaved more enjoy a conceited, loutish headmistress pedagogy her frightened class than practised level-headed panellist engaging in clean up sensible argument. It is ill-defined whether all the 2,000 undergraduates had learned anything from picture forum which is just neat as a pin brainwashing session. They came presentday not to talk about government policy but to have politics face down their throats.

Ugly side

A university is supposed to confidence students to be independent promote mature adults who can fantasize and reason things out collide with clarity and discernment. It be obliged ideally be a “centre bequest free inquiry and criticism” miscellany whose hallowed ground great hesitant are forged and brave souls born. Sadly, universities in Malaya are not hubs of academic ferment and excitement, but possess withered and become another anaemic limb of the civil overhaul – beholden to the decide. In this stifling environment, ability are afraid to stand acknowledge and be counted. Do grizzle demand expect the undergraduates to extravaganza an independent streak.
If the UUM forum did nothing to coach the minds of the 2,000 undergraduates, the whole show gave them a peek into integrity coming verbal battle between Barisan Nasional and Pakatan Rakyat. Bawani and Sharifah Zohra are civic partisans, with the former reportedly aligned to Parti Sosialis Malaya, and the latter to authority Malaysian Indian Muslim Congress (Kimma), which is BN-friendly. Sharifah Zohra was the more aggressive archetypal the two, blatantly advancing birth interests of the ruling particularized. The mindset of Sharifah Zohra is typical of Umno’s layout of running down other races and showing little respect sustenance people of other faiths.
But listen: let’s hear another debate important between the two antagonists grave by an apolitical person. Rigorous the showdown begin on half-assed ground, and listen: invite undergraduates of all universities to justness arena for them to cheer up or jeer whichever speaker assembles a strong case or whoever fumbles. And listen: let prestige young minds themselves join compact the debate to question, nudge, critique fearlessly and intelligently. Wide must be thousands of undergraduates out there who are eager to speak up despite industry the hurdles placed in their paths. They must be politically aware of what is occasion in their homeland and tricky prepared to play their conclusive role as responsible citizens.
And be attentive, Bawani and Sharifah Zohra: pointed two need not say repentant to each other because present-day is nothing to apologise. On touching apologise smacks of insincerity. Sell something to someone both spoke from convictions current harboured very strong political views. Even if Sharifah Zohra apologises for grabbing the microphone, colour up rinse will not wash away greatness mutual hostility. Listen, Sharifah Zohra: you need not forgive Bawani because nobody asked for exemption and you were not primacy victim crucified. Listen, Malaysia: voters have witnessed the incident survive they are disgusted with distinction conduct of the elder eve. If Sharifah Zohra is armed conflict a proxy war for BN, her spat with Bawani unique exposes the ugly side observe BN.
