Virtus,
is a column by Nik Nazmi, full time student, part-time writer and
webdesigner, from class of 99 and the Mohd Shah House
The
MCOBA
site is now up and running, courtesy of InDesign, a web studio run
by a few Collegians, including Azhar Arif, my New Hostel prefect back
in 1996.
I welcome the development very much, thus at least showing to the
others that budak koleq is not left out in the cyberworld. For the
MCKK students, what about a koleq site?
Nevertheless, I hope MCNET will not lose its relevance as a portal
for the MCKK community. With support from Sdr. Ishak Ariffin, an active
old boy, I am putting up some more articles from older College magazines
into MCNET in the next few monts, so stay tuned.
Running
MCNET, or my batch website, is an arduous task. The amateurish nature
of the job restricts it from being able to make a great impact, but
I believe, it must be done. For the sake of keeping the College spirit
alive, as well as to provide a place where anyone can search for anything
MCKK on the net.
I
read somewhere in Generations, a book by young Malaysian authors
Amir Muhammad, Kam Raslan and Sherryl Stothard how visionaries are
easy to come by. Everyone is a visionary. What is actually difficult
is to find people who are willing to work for that vision.
I
am your regular complainer. I know a lot of us are. It is easy to
complain, criticise and find fault with everything in this world.
But to have our criticisms accepted, we should also do something about
it. Imagine how better this world would be if everyone is like that,
everyone takes action to make the world we live in real and not superficial.
That,
however, is another utopian dream. There would always be people, who
complain, and simply goyang kaki. Personally, I find that those
people at koleq, who simply complains about our rugby team,
our debaters and the performance of the College in examinations, but
he himself excels in none - is a parasite that lives off other people's
hard work.
Parasites
and all, we have to try our best to make a difference.
May
2002 be a prosperous and rewarding year for all of us.
