Why do politics have to enter everything. These are professional associations. Why can't they be totally un-political? Same with student associations. Why are encouraging students to take political sides at such an early age?

I am sure M8 will threaten to publicize corruption news.
And congrats to the LAU also that saw a m14 win!
