Viva student power!

Although many are unhappy with the reshuffled cabinet, yet there are some joy within the student activists circle. In the past two years, students had been striving hard to oust Shafie Salleh, the Minister of Higher Education for his incompetencies. In the newly announced cabinet line-up, Shafie was dropped out from the cabinet, and his deputy Fu Ah Kiow was transferred to the Ministry of Internal Security.

We should always be mindful that BN ministers are often reactionary. Never put any hope on the so-called "new" minister, who is actually from the same mould. There are still long way to go in order to achieve genuine campus democracy.

Nevertheless, students have sent a crystal clear message to the new minister, "Don't try to be funny, or Shafie will be your example!"

Viva student power!
