FYI, elections are going on in UM. In fact, we're going to vote on Monday. I don't even want to go into detail about the faculty manifesto forums that went on last Thursday. It was HOT, i tell you. Maybe that'll end up on some other blog. I have videos though.
The bottom-line is that in the law faculty, there's no such thing as Malays supporting Malay candidates or Chinese supporting Chinese candidates. Everyone stands for what they think is right, not on racial bias or friendship. This was my first time experiencing a majorly HOT (it's so hot I gotta say it twice) forum, and I must say, the juniors who were running for the elections took it well, though they didn't take the questions shot at them quite so well. (questions were definitely poorly answered)

Liverpool told me beforehand that candidates from other faculties who were running had told her that no one from any other faculty in their right mind, would ever want to campaign in the law faculty. Why?
Simply because it is HELL in the law faculty. Liverpool jokingly replied, "Then we must be demons, cuz we're still surviving here."
That Thursday, I whispered to Liverpool, "Ooook. Now I see why people say the law faculty is HELL."
'Nuff said.
About the pig, it would take a lot of words to describe it, so I'll just draw a picture.
i hope you know what flag this is.
So mysterious huh? It's... it's... it's like CSI!
Anyway, it was behind a tiang in the **API surau in UM. Er this one no need to draw la. use your imagination. Plus it was a half-head la. Aiyah, I put up the real picture la.
Pigs are detestable and pork, haram to Muslims. To have a picture of a pig in a surau is bad enough; to have a pig in a surau is unthinkable; to have a dead pig in a surau is detestable; to have a dead pig's head in a surau is like initiating a holy war.
Plus it's disgusting.
Politics-schmolitics. Somehow people just can't do politics in a civilized manner. It's really strange that pro-university candidates will never have anything happen to them. FYI again, kononnya pro-M candidates get kidnapped and stuff like that. And of course, have their surau smeared with pig heads.
A friend said that it couldn't have been a Chinese who did it. Impossible, he said. Why, I asked.
"Because Chinese wouldn't waste a pig.
Even if it's a pig head, they'd probably make soup out of it or something."

Ooook. So as someone put it, maybe "someone has sinned against their Allah".
On another note, some friends of mine who're running against the university were interrogated by 30 policemen. Mostly in plain clothes. News say they came in 4 patrol cars and 1 ordinary car, but friends say they came in 2 patrol cars, 2 police vans, and 4 ordinary cars. Er. That sounds more logical right. When you have to muat 30 people. If the news was true, that would mean the police didn't wear seatbelts. Ahaha. (5 cars x 5 people = 25 people)
When asked for a search warrant, they said they didn't need a search warrant under some section of the Penal Code. Too bad my friends were first-years, or they would've already studied the Penal Code and been able to prove (or disprove) the policemen's authencity. They were interrogated by 30 people. I don't know, maybe my TWO friends were too intimidating to be interrogated by just TWO officers. Most of the officers did say though, that they had no idea why they were there in the first place.

After they'd gotten over the initial shock, they decided to lodge a police report at the nearest police station. They had to get past the UM security guard first though.
