Klip video UUM menunjukkan seorang ahli panel pro-BN serang mahasiswa...

Video sesi forum di UUM di mana jurucakap pro-Bn telah menyerang seorang mahasiswa.

Sebuah video dimana seorang jurucakap pro Barisan Nasional (BN) menyerang seorang mahasiswi secara terbuka dalam sebuah forum tersebar luas di internet sehingga memaksa kedua-dua timbalan menteri dan ketua pemuda Umno untuk menenangkan keadaan bagi memastikan ianya memberi kesan kepada gabungan pemerintah tersebut menjelang pilihan raya 2013. 

Pembicara tersebut dikenali sebagai Sharifah Zohra Jabeen presiden sebuah pertubuhan tidak pernah didengari dikenali sebagai Suara Wanita 1Malaysia (SW1M) yang dilihat rapat dengan BN, dilihat didalam video mencaci seorang mahasiswi yang bangkit menyatakan pendiriannya mengenai perhimpunan aman anjuran Bersih 2.0 dan pehimpunan menuntut pendidikan percuma – dengan mengeluarkan kenyataam “bila dalam program kami, kami benarkan anda bercakap” dan “apabila saya bercakap, anda dengar.”

Timbalan Menteri Pendidikan Tinggi Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah menulis di Twitter semalam nombor telefon peribadinya dengan mesej meminta pelajar tersebut dikenali sebagai Bawani K.S untuk menghubunginya, selepas seorang pengguna Twitter memberitahu Bawani mempunyai akaun Twitter.

Beberapa jam kemudian, Saiffudin menulis di Twitter, “Baru lepas bercakap dengan Bawani dalam telefon. Beliau dalam keadaan sangat bersemangat.”

Komen Bawani mengenai isu tersebut masih lagi belum diketahui. Akaun Twitternya tidak dapat diakses kerana hanya eksklusif kepada pengikutnya di laman sosial tersebut sahaja.

Walau bagaimanapun, perkara itu tidak berakhir apabila pengguna Twitter lain mempersoalkan timbalan menteri itu dengan soalan tentang pandangan beliau mengenai perdebatan berat sebelah antara Sharifah dengan Bawani.

“Patutny benarkn Bawani habis brcakap,lps tu jawab dgn bijaksana,” kata Saifuddin kepada pengguna Twitter, @Mr_Nurislam.

Rakan Umnonya Khairy Jamaluddin juga menggunakan Twitter untuk menjarakkan diri BN dengan Sharifah selepas video tersebut tersebar luas sehingga ada yang memulakan hashtag “SharifahZohra dan #listen.

“Dan tentang isu UUM. Tolong dengar (#listen) saya: wanita Jabeen ini TIDAK mewakili BN. Sekian,” tulis ketua pemuda Umno itu di Twitter melalui akaunnya @Khairykj.

 

Beliau menambah, “Siapa2 pun boleh salah guna 1Msia. Takde siapa dlm BN yg kenal Sharipah Jabeen ni,” menjawab seorang pengguna Twitter yang mempersoalkan tentang butang 1Malaysia digunakan Sharifah. 

Percubaan Khairy untuk mengawal keadaan diperlekehkan oleh sesetengah pengguna internet seperti Don Iznan yang menulis di Twitter: “dengan menggatakan #SharifahZohra tidak mewakili BN, KJ sebenarnya bermaksud sharifah dari Umno. Tengok? Hahaha.”

Forum “Seiringkah mahasiswa dan politik? Diadakan di Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM), Kedah pada 8 Disember, akan tetapi heboh selepas video tersebut dimasukkan di Youtube minggu lalu.

Klip selama 24 minit itu memaparkan seorang ahli panelnya Sharifah Zohra Jabeen(gambar) menegur Bawani, yang bangun bercakap di forum itu, membangkitkan kepada penganjur forum apa yang dia percaya pembentangan mereka yang tidak betul mengenai Bersih dan penerajunya, Datuk S Ambiga dan Datuk A Samad Said.

Bawani juga menegaskan sejumlah negara mampu menawarkan pendidikan percuma sehingga ke peringkat universiti dan bertanya mengapa Malaysia tidak boleh berbuat demikian, diikuti dengan tepukan penonton.

Ketika Bawani sedang bercakap, Sharifah turun dari pentas dan berdiri di depannya.

Bawani tidak memperdulikan tindakan Sharifah itu dan terus bercakap.

Sharifah kemudian berkata “dengar” kira-kira 10 kali sebelum bertindak mengambil mikrofon, sambil menghulurkan tangannya bersalam dengan Bawani dan mengucapkan terima kasih kepadanya.

“Nombor satu, ini adalah program kami dan kami dibenarkan untuk bercakap. Nombor dua, apabila saya bercakap, (anda) dengar,” kata Sharifah kepada Bawani.-malaysian insider

Clip of panellist berating student goes viral...

It was meant to be a forum involving university students, but in the end one of the panellists had only wanted her views to be heard.

That was the often drawn conclusion of Internet users after watching a video of a forum for Universiti Utara Malaysia students which took place last month.

The 24-minute clip depicted an exchange between panellist Sharifah Zohra Jabeen Syed Shah Miskin and student KS Bawani, which has become a hot topic of discussion on Facebook and Internet forums.

Bawani had spoken out from the floor against the forum organisers for what she believes was their wrongful presentation of electoral reform coalition Bersih and its leaders, S Ambiga and A Samad Said.

She also pointed out that a number countries could afford to offer free education up to the university level and asked, to the applause of the audience, why Malaysia couldn't do so.

'Listen to me'

Midway through Bawani's response, Sharifah Zohra left the stage and stood in front of her.

Since Bawani was unmoved to Sharifah Zohra's intimidation tactics, the latter decided to cut her off.

Sharifah Zohra said "listen" about 10 times before taking away the microphone. This was when the browbeating began.

"Number one, this is our programme and we're allowed to speak. Number two, when I speak, (you) listen," demanded Sharifah Zohra.

The plucky Bawani protested to no avail for being abruptly interrupted, but Sharifah Zohra would have none of it.

"Let me speak," she said seven times, before reiterating points she had made in her persentation earlier.

She said that she had called Ambiga an "instigator of demonstrations" and mocked Bawani for supporting calls for free higher education.

"Don't equate Malaysia with other countries. If you (want to do so), what are you doing in Malaysia? Listen. What are you doing in Malaysia?

"Go to Cuba, Argentina, Libya, everywhere. Because, you know what? All the students in this hall are happy with what the government have done for them," said Sharifah Zohra, followed by applause from the floor.

From fish to quadrupeds

Sharifah Zohra's lengthy rebuttal took a twist as she tried to implore the students to stop complaining and think of problems faced by animals.

"Even sharks have problems. People (on the other hand) complain, complain, complain, complain, complain (and) complain.

"Have you eaten shark fin before? Have you seen how people slay the shark fin and throw the shark back into the sea to die. See how humans are more greedy than sharks?"

Her examples also included birds and quadrupeds.

After about seven minutes into the tirade, Bawani appeared to have enough of it and walked off.

Victorious, Sharifah Zohra got back to business by asking the students "who want a Galaxy Note" before screening an Islamic-themed video.

Brainwashing session

A check on Facebook revealed that Sharifah Zohra leads an organisation known as Suara Wanita 1Malaysia (SW1M).

The forum, titled ‘Seiringkan Mahasiswa dan Politik' took place on Dec 8 but the video on the question-and-answer session was only uploaded on YouTube last Wednesday.

As of this morning, there were more than 170,000 views of the six-day-old video, which has drawn an overwhelming number of "dislikes".

Contacted yesterday, Bawani said she chose to speak up because the panellists had defamed Ambiga and Pakatan Rakyat leaders.

She said a video clip demonising the Bersih rallies was also screened.

"It was purely a brainwashing exercise," said the second-year law student, adding that Sharifah Zohra's group had spoke at other universities as well.-malaysiakini
