Student initiation
Student initiation
From Tiras
I am deeply concerned about the death of Zaki Tifan Lazuardian
during initiation week at the Bandung Institute of Technology.
This tarnishes the reputation of the institution which has
produced many leaders and reputable scientists.
I can hardly believe that such thing could happen on the
institute's campus. The students of this institution are known
for their resoluteness demonstrating against injustice, human
rights abuses and pollution.
Although I didn't attend the institution, I am proud of its
highly reputable alumni. I therefore ask the government to stop
student initiation programs. They only trample human dignity. The
students of today will be our leaders tomorrow.
