We have been informed that the students, which together help the college to clean the area of our college, the students will be given the flexibility to hostel when they are less satisfactory results. Besides that, even we were tired, but that is not a problem for us, because it will bring benefit to us and other students. Furthermore, in my opinion, the cleaning operation runs, could foster cooperation between students and staff of our college.
