Do you remember those days when you were in high school, you see friends secretly bringing magic cards to school just for innocent fun? Just to be caught with it and got their little toys confiscated, which ended up with the prefects. And some of these so-called prefects were actually the ones playing with your confiscated magic cards behind closed doors?
What if this high school scenario repeats itself, even in universities?
Apparently, even to the extent a 'Magic Club' is set up in Monash. Now we wonder, what is a Magic Club for? How relevant are magic cards to the average Monash student?
No prizes for guessing who are the founders. None other than the big shots of SPEAK: Darren Ng and Icky.
What's the point of setting up a club which does not really relate to most students? I mean, who still plays magic cards in universities? Not many, as we know.
But the bigger issue is this: There's a clause in C&S Constitution which states that clubs and societies set up may not be entirely social in nature.
Well, isn't Magic Club entirely social in nature? Yet why does such a club get approved easily by C&S Division? By right, clubs of this nature shouldn't be approved under C&S Constitution.
Is it a means for these 'big shots with power' to gain more certs? After all, it is so easy for them to elect themselves into president and vice-president positions in these clubs.
Or worse, if we're not mistaken, each club or society in Monash is given certain amount of funds (estimated to be RM 1000+ a year) from our student funds in order to operate. When such 'questionable' clubs are set up, is there a possibility that these irrelevant clubs gain instant access to funds as much as RM 1000+? How would they make use of these funds, would it easily go into their personal pockets?
As far as we know, this is highly possible. Even more so when the person approving funds (the MUSA Treasurer) is none other than their own close friend.
And please don't get us started on 'Monash Kite-Flying Club', which Darren set up (last year when he was Secretary of C&S Division. Did he misuse his position to set up irrelevant clubs to gain more certs?) and held a key position.
This has to STOP!

I guess you haven't heard of clubs at the clayton campus.
-Anime Club
-Brewing Club
-Chocolate Club
-Fellowship of Middle Earth (WTH?!)
-Juggling and Firetwirling Club
go figure..
magic club is just a stupid childish club with grown up fat asses playing with cartoon cards..
Your rant on the club issue is just bs. Get a life.
the speak gang so childish want, still in high school arh?
Well I knew of people who tried to set up clubs in Monash, and they went through hell load of shit just because they are "controversial figures" to SPEAK people. Of course, their club did not get approved. While clubs set up by SPEAK gang of people get approved instantly.
It's unfair!
I think what the author of this blog is referring to a point in the CnS constitution that states that a club cannot be entirely social in nature. This is different to Clayton, where clubs there can be social in nature. Hence, the setting up of the Magic Club may have gone against the CnS constitution.
In Clayton: MSA President 08' bedded MSA President 07'
In Malaysia: MUSA President 08' bedded MUSA President 07'
Hahah Presidents bedding each other to get into positions. No wonder they are provocative fighters of abortion rights.
please refer to the c&s constitution when you ppl make comments.. understand and interpret the constitution properly.. try to understand the purpose of clubs and societies being set up in Monash as stated in the c&s constitution and pay attention to the budget of c&s division especially when they are really on tight budget. then, think again to get the real picture.
Next year i want to make a new club called Monash Gay/Lesbian Club (MONGLEC)
do it then.
there already exist a similiar club in Monash Clayton, except they don't diss people off like how most malaysians would!
i said what what in the but, u wanna do it in my butt?
sheesh, so irrelevant.
