AGM which stands for Annual General Meeting for Singapore students of IIUM was held last night. It was not a grand event as muchly anticipated. It was more of a casual, informal and rather ‘as-you-like-it’ attitude from EVERYONE.

First on the agenda was a farewell speech from the previous president of ASSIIUM, a somewhat ‘teary’, sarcastic speech but with much advices and reminders. Humans are so in need of reminders. That I know very well. We tend to forget where we stand when we are happily in a group, we forget our priorities, we forget who we really are and are very much influenced by the people we spent too much time with. I knew and experienced this and saved myself.

There are reports from the secretary and treasurer and some small speech from the ex-co members but very much informal.

Then the ‘election’ starts. This is how it works. There’s an electorial board where they choose 6 persons and the rest of us got to nominate 4 others. Who’s in the board? Two from previous mainboard and three from ‘wise’ and graduating seniors.

It happened so fast that personally I DON’T FEEL THE IMPORTANCE of it. And the politics in it are damn childishly funny. They go for what we termed as ‘group’. So this groups will nominate one of them and it’s shit. So there’s ten names. Then we had to vote seven names whom we ‘think’ are suitable for the job. I had a hard time choosing.

Just because we lack of responsible people.

After about 20 minutes, the seven ‘chosen’ people were announced and…..no comment. I don’t know what to say. Some things are hard to explain.

I’ll just hope for the best from them. Let them do whatever they want as long as they don’t disturb me and hinder me from doing what I need.

ps: Tired of talking about people.
