YOURSAY ‘If those students are really inspired by Najib, then one can assume that they don't mind being called pendatang.'

Defiant students wear yellow for Najib visit

your say Thedon: What the Kolej Tunku Abdul Rahman (TARC) students wear on the outside is of little significance, especially if there was a ruling given to them to wear red.

What is really important is in their hearts and minds. My friend's son tells us that the majority of those in red do not subscribe to the message on the banner.

C3: Pathetic. If no one was the wiser, one would have thought that the majority of the students seen wearing red were BN supporters. Now I see they were "forced" to wear red because of a dress code.

This is a shameful and desperate method of giving the illusion that PM Najib Razak and his BN are popular. Yes, well done to the students in yellow.

Odin: Isn't Tunku Abdul Rahman College owned by MCA? If it is, then one doesn't need to wonder why the students were instructed to wear red (Umno's colour).

And if those students are really inspired by Najib and love him, then one can assume that they don't mind being called 'pendatang' and asked to go back to China.

On the other hand, could it be that the college administration had the banners made and arranged for the students to hold them up?

PaperRoses: What kind of inspiration do you want? Inspiration to discriminate, cheat, kill or work harder to buy good handbags?

The Shrimp Warrior: Sadly, more lemmings than heroes.

Don't Play-Play: There were only a handful wearing yellow while the majority complied by wearing red. That is democracy... and a very good sign for the BN, and MCA in particular, for the coming general election (GE).

Foodforthought: Don't Play-Play, you are really slapping yourself hard this time; 'complied', 'democracy'; see the contradiction? Let me give you a new one as 'slap in the face' is getting old, 'shoot one's own foot'.

Lim Ah Kow: Najib feeling like an old rock star? Oh yes, we'll certainly "rock" you in GE13!

Kolopilah: Indeed, the majority of students in red don't want to be there, they were told, advised, pressured and hung by their necks to be in the red T-shirts on the roadside.

If it was by choice they themselves will wear yellow, I thought I saw some of them at the Bersih 3.0 rally. Salute to those in yellow!

ONG: Good to see that there was no animosity and no violence between the red shirts and the yellow shirts. I wonder if members of the ketuanan tribe are able to display similar civilised behaviour?

Timothy: Democracy? We have degenerated to a stage where even students are told or forced which colour to wear. Will the authorities also ban nasi kunyit (yellow), nasi lemak pandan (green)?

Nasi kerabu should be spared because it is blue.

Blind Freddo: They are Malaysia's hope for the future (that is if they stay in the country long enough).

These young adults, the supposed thinkers in the community and the leading lights of the future... and they allow themselves to be told what to wear?

Up2U: Malaysian people, culture and languages are varied and colourful. Our national flag has white, blue, red and yellow.

What is this fear for yellow? Are we telling everybody that yellow is related to Bersih? It is ridiculous and our top leaders should know better.

Anonyxyz: A bunch of red-shirt pathetic students who don't even know history and rudimentary political knowledge.

And I believe the influence of the parents play a big role in their shameful display of banners praising Najib for his inspiration.

No wonder, Dr Mahathir Mohamad can go to the UN and say, ''Discrimination against Chinese Malaysians... check your facts... just look at the number of Chinese votes that Umno-BN get."

Wira: What's the point of getting recognition for the diplomas when most, if not all, of the graduates are not going to work in the public sector?

The private sector already know the quality and value of those diplomas.

Moreover, why does MCA require so many years, and an impending general election, to get TARC's diplomas vetted and approved by the government?

Malayamuda: I'm sure those in red had yellow underwear, they were probably just too scared to defy the college administration's order.

Ferdtan: I was from TARC (Tunku Abdul Rahman College) before the campus was built. I am quite ashamed of those students wearing red without knowing that they had been led and made use of.

It is a fact that these young students are still politically immature. The curbs on them by the country's administrators not to get involved in politics works - see their reply.

One of them said that she was happy because she got some book vouchers. Not to insult, does the answer differ from that of a farmer from a rural settlement?

If they don't read and keep themselves informed of the situation of the country, they are going to be the dumb graduates in the future.

All is not lost as Bersih 3.0 has really influenced and inspired many youths (not necessary university qualified), and they are asking the right questions about the state of the country.

Dood: I was going to comment about how ignorant and naive some of these young ‘Ah Jib Kor' (Brother Najib) fans are, but then they did me a favour by proving it themselves in their simplistic answers to questions from the Malaysiakini reporters.
