乘着烟霾好转后所带来的好心情，今天终于开始了第一项实质的工作，就是为‘国大学生团结阵线’设计一个标志。
经过了好几个月的讨论和思考后，除了已经为国大学阵开设中文版专业——‘国大学联’，笔者也和几位志同道合的朋友决定设立一个阵线，以在往后的日子里更有规划和组织。我们想了又想，究竟要引进已经在数间大学扎营的‘前进阵线’，或选择自立门户，开创新的一个组织。最后，考虑到国大校况有别于其它大学，我们因此决定量身打造一个适合国大全校的一个阵线，取名为‘国大团结阵线’。
这是一条较为崎岖不平的道路，因为我们都知道万事起头难，尤其是在国大成立一个新阵线，更加是难上加难。我们的决定也意味着我们必须要从零开始，但好在此路并不孤行。
为何选择成立‘国大团结阵线’？
国大身为政府资助大学，很自然的就在校园内形成了一个‘小社会’，恰恰就反映了马来西亚社会多元种族的情况。在这个小社会当中，可以预见的是，未来国家的社会就是以这种方式去成长、形成。话说回来，这个小社会所出现的一个现象已经日趋严重，使到我们看到改善此现象的重要性。这现象就是，国大学生种族间的分化越来越严重，这也是马来西亚社会所面对到的其中一个问题。经过了多年的独立，大马各族之间虽然已不形成明显的对立，但是族群间的分化依然存在，这也可以从国大的情况看得出来——土著与非土著在举办活动方面，多是以族群区分、国大各组织所参与的成员以及最基本的，在上课情况方面。我们习惯于投入在本身族群里，在安全区内生活，而忽略了与各族融洽交流的重要性。
这些情况也并非是一日之寒，而是从小我们惯于特定的族群而形成的现象。从我们的教育，直到我们的日常生活，很多同学其实是不曾与异族同胞一起生活的。来到国立大学后，我们有幸成为真正的马来西亚人，学着如何去了解和认识各族同胞之间的差异。这其实对我们任何人来说，都是一个很好的机会。
因此，‘国大团结阵线’的成立就是抱着改善族群之间的关系，以及为各族同胞谋取福利为我们的奋斗目标。我们深信马来西亚未来美好的社会是由各族间良好的关系而共同创造的。遥望校外，已经有一群斗士不分族群之别为大马人民奋斗，在校内的我们当然不能置身事外，而是应该各尽所能为马来西亚创造美好的未来。
*在构思标志时，各族牵手是笔者所要表达的主要概念，意味着马来西亚的兄弟姐妹们都能不分你我的为共同的理想前进。我们都是一家人。
The clear weather of the day was enough for me to have a very good mood, and this had also made me in the mood of starting my 'job', after days of resting. First task of all, is to draft a logo for SUF, Student Unity Front.
After months of discussion with few of my friends, or well to say, my partners, we had decided to set up a new front in UKM. This move is so important for our future plans, after we had assist GM in opening their chinese language Facebook page. We had choices, such as 'import' an existing front from other universities like Student Progressive Front, or setting up a brand new front in UKM. After all, we felt that creating a new front in UKM will be more appropriate due to our different culture and situation compared to others IPTA.
This will not be easy, and will be a road that obviously harder to walk but gladly, we have Pioneers that willing to walk this road together, just because we have same and common objectives.
Why 'Student Unity Front'?
As we know. UKM is an IPTA which the enrollment was decided by UPU or another word, the government. This had formed a 'mini society' in UKM, which consisted of students from different races. In this society, we learned and formed the real society out of the campus in the futute. Unfortunately, there is a phenomenon that worries us. We faces a crisis of division among races. After years of independant, we could say that there is hardly a clear or obvious conflict between races, but the problem of division is still there. This can also be seen in the way of living by UKM students, where we used to live in our own community. We organise, we join, we participate, only the activities of our own races; we still see a club or a committee by the angle of race. Even in lectures, we grouped only with the friends of same race.We are just too used of being in our comfort zone, without bothering the importance of communicating with people from different backgrounds.
I would say that this situation was here since long ago, starting from our education, till our way of life. We might never spend a minute with a friend from different race before we step in to UKM. Anyway, from being a part of UKM, we have the opportunity to be a real Malaysian, a real rakyat from this country that we have the chance to understand more of others culture and their differences
Therefore, Students Unity Front aimed to improve the relationships between races and also voice up for every member in UKM without considering the colour of our skins. We believe that Malaysia's harmony society in the future depends on every rakyat in this country. There are bunches of Heroes out there, fighting for this aim today, and why should we in the campus stop ourselves from doing so, too?
*The main concept of drafting the logo is, everyone of us in Malaysia are holding hands together, as one. We are in one FAMILY.
