He hates uniforms

Intro: In a fictional school somewhere, the prefects rule with an iron fist. The over-efficiency of the prefects has lead to near perfect discipline on school grounds, until one day……

Scene 1 (Students going through a routine spotcheck line with a high ranking prefect and his subordinates)

GL: Sir, I cant believe it. I think you should see this yourself. (cue James Bond theme song)

A: Rebels. GL, tell me, what does the Article 18.1.5 of the Buku Panduan Pelajar say?

GL: Pengawas dilantik supaya mereka dapat berkhidmat untuk sekolah dan Negara masing-masing.

A: Then you all know what we have to do. (Prefects nod head in unison)

Scene 2

GL: Stop! Hands up! Drop it! Let me see your hands in the air! Hands in the air! Drop it!

T: Its just a schoolbag.

GL: Article 13.21- perintah pengawas mesti dipatuhi. Before you break anymore school rules, just do as I tell you!

S2: School rules? We don’t care about school rules. No one cares about them.

GL: That’s why we’re here. To enforce school rules. (students laugh in unison)

A:Your flagrant disregard of the school rules disgust me. You’re an embarrassment to our species. Look at this!(refers to a short skirt)

GL: Article 2.2- Pelajar-pelajar hendaklah memakai pinafore tidak lebih daripade 2 inci atas lutut. (measures) 2.5(FIVE!) inches. (prefects shake head in unison)

A: And look at this! ( refers to low pants)

GL: Article 1.4- Seluar pelajar tidak boleh berfasyen. (measures) 5 inches from the waist. (prefects shake head in unison)

A: Look at this! ( refers to untucked shirt)

GL: Article 1.6- Baju mesti dikancing dengan dengan kemas dan tidak boleh dipakai di luar.(measures) Every inch of his shirt isn’t tucked in. (prefects shake head in unison)

A:Look at this!(refers to black shoes)

GL: Article 4.2- Kasut getah yang lain daripada warna putih tidak dibenarkan sama sekali.. Sir, these shoes look as dark as you! (prefects shake head in unison)

A:Look at this!

GL: Article 9.8- Rambut pelajar tidak dibenarkan menggunakan “gel”.

S3: Its water-lah!

GL: Same! (prefects shake head in unison)

S4: But why should we listen to you? You’re just a prefect. (rebels join in noisily)

T: So what if she wants to show off her legs? So what if he wants to show off his boxers? So what if I want to wear my shirt outside? So what if her shoes are as dark as your face? So what if he wants to put chemicals on his hair?

S3: Its water-lah!

T:So what if we want to do whatever we want to do? Freedom of expression! Free will! Right! (rebels chime in)

T: We’re born with freewill, so what makes you think that you can take it away from us? (rebels chime in again, surrounding prefects) (cue mission impossible) …

GL: Hey look! Its Pn Rohaidahana! (rebels look back, and quickly line up) (apologetic, heads hung low, and frantically adjust their clothes)

T: Hey! What happened to freewill?(rebels proceed through the spotcheck line)

T is handcuffed and taken away to be electrocuted into submission in the all new underground Bilik Disiplin(well they aren't just building toilets you know)

Moral of the story: The moment you step into school, you trade your soul for that uniform you’re wearing. So the least you can do is wear it right. Don’t go against the school rules, you’ll never win. Ever.

S3: But its water-lah. Seriously.
