Sakit Hati!

The recent developments in and outside the country made Heart2Heart sakit hati....

First:

Foreign Minister Syed Hamid Albar was questioned and grilled over issues related to the rights of Indian-Malaysians and non-Malays, and their rights in choosing religions. here:

so said he is exemplary Malaysian government leader -- rude, arrogant, condescending and in denial. More context here.

Second:

UPM Students vs. UPM staff, again!! (Remember the infamous 50 UPM bullies?)

This time a staff member of the student affairs department (HEP) in Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), Serdang, raided the hostel room of a first-year student, who is the member of a particular student grouping. He was interrogated until 1am, and his laptop, handphone, MP4 player, 2 pendrives, leaflets and personal documents were confiscated.

The HEP staff, commanded by a UPM personnel identified as Jamali of the Unit Tugas Khas, left without giving any written acknowledgment of the items confiscated. The following morning, other students went to the HEP office and demanded that the university's personnel give the raided student a written acknowledgment. See video here. More reports here, here and here.

and Heart2Heart says: sakit hati..........
