What is Ma.S.A.M?

Ma.S.A.M (Malaysian Students Against Mahathir) was first mooted by Saudara Ahmad Kamal Mustapha, a PhD student now attached to a university in the United States. He was himself a student activist when he did his first degree in University Malaya in the early 1990s.

Intended to be a constructive group of Malaysian students working to address the various issues concerning the students movement and the present turmoil in the country, Ma.S.A.M hopes to bring together different students groups with their different approach to fight a common struggle - for a just, democratic and progressive Malaysia.

 

Bagaimana?

Ma.S.A.M percaya bahawa pergerakan mahasiswa kini sudah hilang punca dan tidak dapat duduk semeja untuk menangani masalah yang hampir sama. Kami percaya bahawa kunci kepada kelesuan gerakan mahasiswa terletak kepada keupayaan siswa menjana satu perjuangan yang berpaksikan ilmu dalam mendekati permasalahan siswa dan rakyat.

Siswa perlu mula menjaguhi usaha-usaha mencorakkan masa depan negara dari segi demografi, budaya, teknologi dan pendidikan. Untuk itu, siswa perlu tangkas berfikir, mahir berhujah dan yang paling penting tahu meggunakan strategi dan kaedah.

Ma.S.A.M berhasrat untuk menjana pelbagai idea dan aktiviti yang kita landaskan di atas ilmu semata-mata, bukannya ketaksuban atau ketaatan membabi-buta; yang bakal menggembleng kembali kuasa gerakan mahasiswa.

Ma.S.A.M percaya disebalik segala tekanan dan ketakutan yang kita hadapi, jika setiap rakyat Malaysia memainkan peranan yang unik - rejim ini akan dapat kita tumpaskan. Ma.S.A.M akan memberi tumpuan kepada penglibatan SETIAP rakyat Malaysia yang kecil dalam melebarkan sayap reformasi - kerana kami percaya inilah idea di sebalik reformasi yakni kuasa rakyat terbanyak.

Dengan koordinasi sesama kumpulan mahasiswa di seluruh dunia, tenaga mahasiswa boleh ditumpukan untuk menumpaskan elemen penindasan seperti AUKU dan sebagainya.

 

How you can help?

Join Ma.S.A.M by sending an e-mail to Ma.S.A.M. By joining, there is no obligation or constraint whatsoever imposed on you - it is merely a show of strength to those in power and the people in Malaysia that the students movement is gathering strength. It is an act of solidarity which no doubt will joggle the ruling coalition's dominance and grips on our people. As this coalition is anonymous and non-profitable, there is no way anyone can accuse Ma.S.A.M of exploitation or opportunism - as is the case with many Malaysian students organisations like Malaysian Connect United Kingdom (MCUK), Cambridge Malaysian Society (CUMAS) and so on.

The following societies have already registered their support and solidarity for Ma.S.A.M:
