NUS Petition
NUS had round 1A of balloting (for tutorials) just today on the 17th Aug 2005 and some undergrad brought it upon himself/herself to come up with this petition. Yes! The very same petition that illustrated our disgust with T.T. Durai's work ethics.
To: The NUS Student BodyWe, the students in the National University of Singapore are deeply frustrated with the Centralised Online Registration System, with particular reference to tutorial balloting Round 1A where many found it impossible to log into the system and register their choices despite repeated attempts. We wish to see a re-evaluation of the system, as well as a non-evasive answer from the system admin as to why such a fiasco happened despite NUS being a top ranked university in the world.
Sincerely,
The Undersigned
I've signed it myself. Would all NUS undergrads who, like me, had to try to log in for over 6 hours just to ballot for 1 tutorial, sign the petition? Do it and save us from our plight!

As an aside, now that this issue has finally brought all that simmering enmity and animosity towards the school admin boiling to the surface, perhaps we shall see some real changes being made that will finally make NUS a world-class university....
