SNASC Committee 06/07

Dear SNASC Committee 06/07,

Firstly, I'd just like to say that it was with peace and relief that I heard the news of me not being student advisor. I've been thoroughly sickened by the manipulation of this committee and I'm just glad that it has all finally come to an end.

Yes, I made mistakes. But until you tell them to me, I'm never going to realize what they are.

Don't kid yourselves. The committee did nothing together. There was no project that was carried out that more than 1 committee member was involved in. The thing this committee did best was talk, discuss, beat around the bush and basically do nothing much beyond. For all that has been achieved, they're just fragmented contributions of individuals. There has never been any team spirit.

And if you seriously believe that I called you friends instead of mere fellow committee members, I can safely assure you otherwise. For every single meeting that I've attended, nothing of what I've said was met with approval. At least, as much as i can recall.

What was said most to me was that I'm still young and lack the necessary experience. For every single thing that has been done, I've never been involved in the process.

Even towards the end, the post of student advisor was pinned on to me despite me stating in no uncertain words that I do not want to be student advisor. Even now, the decision to remove me has been made without my involvement.

I ask you then, where is the communication and discussion in that.

Sudirman was given a chance to explain himself after we pointed out his mistakes.
Maz was mostly absent. Shafiq even more so.
Andy contributed a lot. But Ben's biggest contribution was pointing fingers and claiming that everything is an ethical issue.There's ethics, and there's being ridiculous.

It's important to keep channels of communication open. But when you insist on e-mailing everyone, including the upcoming committee, regarding a meeting that concerned only the current committee, such is an example of rude and irrational spamming, not keeping everyone in the loop.

When I first joined the committee, I was excited to see changes made and eager to help in making things happen.

I leave this committee with utter disappointment with the attitudes of all involved. Myself included. Especially the times when I would rather engage in leisure activities than do SNASC stuff as I was absolutely revolted by what was happening. This was most apparent during the planning of the DnD when all of you were only good at criticizing what has taken place without even bothering to understand what has previously occurred to cause the happenings.

Don't package your words nicely. It only makes you seem hypocritical and horribly insincere.

Finally, I just want to say thank you. For allowing this whole fiasco to come to an end.
