痛心疾首 – 你們用心了嗎？

Ex-co, we are DISAPPOINTED

作為學生組織，每一番言論都代表著全科大學生，為學生發聲。然​而，近日常聽到的卻是「科大學生會不代表我」的發言，到底這個學​生會發生甚麼事了？一切，源於本屆學生會幹事會透過Mass Mail就「六四事件」、「七一遊行」以及「地產霸權」所作出的​不當言論，不僅令本會，亦令科大學生痛心疾首。

保持中立？抑或為求自保？

在幹事會就「六四事件」發出的Mass Mail中，以介紹史實及分析當前中國的民主問題重提「平反六四​」仍是一場尚未成功的革命，其實是一個不錯的構思。然​而，文末卻突兀地澄清自己的政治立場中立並與任何政治組織如支聯​會等沒有關連，隨即給人畫蛇添足之感。既然只是針對「六四事件」​發言，何必理會旁人有沒有聯想起任何政治組織？如今只是令人留下​幹事會希望明哲保身的感覺而不是「政治中立」。這不禁令人質疑幹​事會有沒有為學生會的立場、定位用心思考過。科大學生需要的，不​是一個「中立」的學生會，而是一個有立場、有主見的學生會。

曲解社會議題

相信幹事會最令人髮指的必定是有關地產霸權的一篇評論。評論中以​樂富商場在領匯接管後人流增加為例，反映大集團壟斷不​一定是壞事，借以說明地產霸權亦不一定壞。然而卻忽視了地產霸權的影響​遠超於經濟範圍。例如壟斷導致不均衡的土地分配，影響社​會基建的規劃，全球化令地區特色息微等等，實在難以看出有何好處​。即使從經濟角度出發，壟斷等於讓地產霸權隨意控制樓價，影響普​羅大眾置業安居之餘，在其他行業如電力等等的控制更是直接影響民​生。光是超市的壟斷就能左右日常必需品的價格，更何況是電力、煤氣等與生活不可分割的資源！？

幹事會於「六四事件」的評論中才批評今天的中國人看不到金錢以外​的事物，漠視人權低落問題。但如今就地產霸權的發言豈不正正與前​者背道而馳？

省人惕己

經歷這次事件之後，本會促請幹事會能了解言論背後所須負上的責任​，更用心了解現今的社會議題，以免再發生同類事件。同時，各位科​大同學亦必須警惕自己，不要胡亂相信網上流傳的消息。如近日網上​有指幹事會是因收受了地產商利益，或因為多數成員是商學院學生才​作出這番言論，這些指控都只是無的放矢，全無真憑實據。本會在此​希望各位科大同學能以理智分辨是非，並給予機會讓幹事會能在餘下​的任期內挽回聲譽，為科大同學盡心服務。

第十九屆香港科技大學學生會編輯委員會

「墨博」謹啟

Dear colleagues,

In the past few months we have received three commentaries from HKUST Students’ Union Executive Committee(Ex-co) which wrote on the topics of ‘June Fourth Incident’, ‘1 July March’ and ‘Property Hegemony’. Upon finishing their article, we are disappointed.

We are disappointed about their negligence of the real circumstance of the property hegemony in Hong Kong. A specific example does not help, they should know.

We are disappointed about their ambiguous stance on the issue of June 4th Incident. We do not want a Students’ Union being neutral on everything and it is a must to have a clear stance being a representative of students.

We are disappointed that they have drawn a narrow scope. We are not hoping someone to illustrate the whole picture of the issues, but at least a clear one.

We are always glad to see students voice their opinions and share their views with colleagues. However, as a representative of HKUST students according to the written constitution, Ex-co should by all means be conscious and conscientious when writing any publication. We urge Ex-co to realize its role as the representative and any single word from them can make a large difference on the impression on HKUST from the outside. If Ex-co keeps doing the same thing, it is foreseeable that it will just, again, bring negative impact on the reputation of HKUSTSU, and possibly to HKUST students.

We sincerely hope that Ex-co can learn from the flaws this time and take a leap in the future in order to give us, HKUST students, confidence and satisfaction.

On the other hand, we discovered there are accusations spreading on the Internet against ex-co that they have taken benefits from some interest groups to publish the commentaries. We hope students can discern between fact and rumour and not to accept any information with blind eyes.

Regards,

PULSE, Editorial Board of the HKUSTSU the 19^th session 2011 – 2012
