A university student says he is on the run from UQ in fear of public humiliation from other students after scoring 98 per cent in a maths assignment.

The 19-year-old University of Queensland student, who asked not be named, identified himself to a 40,000-member Facebook group, UQ Stalkerspace, showing his marked 41/42 assignment with an ominous plea for alternative universities where he might be able to get consistent full marks.

The Chinese-born Bachelor of Science student told The Bokchoy News he has yet to return to UQ and fears he may be shamed by fellow students because he failed to land a perfect score.

'I'm always very scared when I don't score 100 per cent. When my peers find out I'll get teased and laughed at,' the student said.

He said he's been expected to uphold 100 per cent grades since his first semester at UQ, suffering taunts and humiliation whenever he falls short.

'When I was in my freshman year, I got laughed at even by the lecturer and tutor if I don't get full mark. Last time I got under 100 they told me "you should have enrolled at Griffith instead".'

The student claims he is seeking refuge at a friend's university dorm, but believes his fellow UQ students are on the hunt for him.

'They tried to call me out already. They told me I needed full marks for the Maths assignment because I am dishonouring UQ's image.'

The student said after falling short of a perfect score in a previous assessment, his classmates warned him 'if you want to work at McDonald's for the rest of your life, should consider going to QUT or Griffith instead.'

The post has been met with an outpouring of humiliation on a public Facebook group, where many laughed at the student.

St Lucia, QUEENSLAND—The creator of racist Facebook page, Humans of Sunnybank, has gone into hiding after forgetting to logout of their Facebook account from a public-use library computer at the University of Queensland.

Humans of Sunnybank (HoS), one of Australia's most hated Facebook pages, has done nothing but stir conflict between the Asian and Caucasian communities around the nation since its inception in July 2015.

Since its launch, many have sought to expose its creator(s) and put them on trial for their racist hate crimes which undermine the Australian spirit of multiculturalism.

A week prior to writing, it was reported on UQ Stalkerspace, the one and only irrefutable University of Queensland news source, that the admin of HoS had forgotten to logout of their Facebook account from a library computer.

As soon as the news broke, hundreds of responses called for the identity of the racist fanatic to be exposed with some even demanding, "Crucify him!". However, the admins of UQ Stalkerspace put an end to the discussion, citing Rule 6.9 of Section CDXX of the group guidelines: "No witchhunts allowed".

It is now rumoured that the maker of HoS has gone into hiding for fear of death threats, going so far as to change his/her name and gender on Facebook or even stop using the social media platform completely.

If you have any tips on the identity of the HoS creator, please contact The Bokchoy through our Facebook page—we would love to hear from you and write a follow-up story.

St Lucia, QUEENSLAND—A Bachelor Degree that will charge students based on their racial background at the University of Queensland (UQ) has sparked outrage online with some students calling it discriminatory. The Bokchoy's Education Correspondent, Boris Shortbread reports.

The Bachelor of Law/Medicine Dual-degree Program, to be offered by The University of Queensland (UQ) starting in Semester 1, 2017, is the first course of its kind aimed to attract the most elite and gifted students.

The Dual-Degree Program has made national headlines and also trended on social media platform Facebook—but for all the wrong reasons.

A leak of the course profile revealed that UQ planned to charge applicants different amounts for tuition based on their racial background—with Asian Students having to pay up to four times that of a Caucasian Student—sparking outrage among the student body.

A UQ representative has defended the claims, saying: "Students coming from Asia are 100-percent more likely to have a positive bank balance and rich parents than Caucasians—so it's only fair that we charge based on the proportion of money they have comparative to local students."

"Each Bachelor of Law/Medicine Dual-Degree will only cost you the proportion of money that you have comparative to the average Caucasian (so, if you identify as Asian, the course will cost you up to four or even ten times as much)," UQ has clarified on their website.

With Asians making up more than 40-percent of the UQ student body—and growing each semester—there have already been signs of protest on Facebook in popular student group UQ Stalkerspace and Brisbane's #1 ~~Racist~~ Asian Facebook page, Humans of Sunnybank.

"Ok, halp me understand this one—if I go spending all my money on the beer like my white crassmate and live off the Centrelink, then I can do degree for free? Damn, I been doing it wong all this time," said Jim Chang, third-year Engineering/Accounting/Pharmacy student.

The Bokchoy has contacted the UQ Vice-Chancellor's office for comment.

Canberra, AUSTRALIA—A national survey has found that Average Australians are most likely to vote for a Prime Minister who promises to give out Free Stuff. The Bokchoy's Political Expert, Jerry Shailerton, reports from the capital.

With the next Federal Election likely to occur before the end of 2016, candidates are rushing to gauge public opinion on the best policies for securing voter support.

While the latest approval polls suggest current Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull could be re-elected, a study conducted by third-party group Fudge & Co. Statistics show that voters are actually capable of free-thinking.

The results show that the Australian public is most likely to vote for whoever promises Free Stuff, regardless of their political affiliation.

Among the freeloaders surveyed, over 90-percent of respondents expressed a specific preference for a Muslim-Free Australia and Free Southern Cross Tattoos—making One Nation leader Pauline Hanson the most likely candidate to win the next Federal Election, based on her policy history.

New York City, NEW YORK—A young woman offers a homeless man a bottle of water, and in a truly selfless act captures the moment on camera to inspire others on Facebook to follow her example.

Saskia Michaels, 24, was on her way to a lunch-date with a friend in New York City, when she noticed a man lying in the gutter. who she concluded to be homeless based on his clothing and unshaven face.

Seeing an opportunity to be charitable, Ms Michaels offered a bottle of water to the gentleman and asked her friend to take a photo of the heartwarming moment. "Just take like 10 [photos], we'll pick the best one," witnesses heard her say.

Ms Michaels, a Law student in her first year of college, knows just how precious a $3.50 bottle of water can be.

"I knew by giving away that bottle of water, that I would have to eat instant noodles for another three weeks," she told The Bokchoy, wiping tears from her eyes. "But I also knew: that homeless man needed it way more than I did."

After having her post shared over 15,000 times on Facebook, Ms Michaels posted a response to the publicity she received: "I know some people think it was really selfless of me to give away that bottle of water, but the truth is—it's not about how much you give, but how many people see you do it. God bless."

ACT OF KINDNESS: Young Woman helps Homeless Man, Selflessly Captures it on Camera to Inspire Others on Facebook

Seattle, WASHINGTON—Scientists from the Global Institute of Mental Health have found a way to diagnose Narcissistic Personality Disorder and Gold Digger Syndrome with 100-percent accuracy by observing an individual's Facebook usage.

Hailing Mark Zuckerberg as a genius, the researchers from the Global Institute of Mental Health (GIMH) developed a formula in correlation with a person's Facebook activity to determine whether or not they were obsessed with self-image and impressing others.

"Without Facebook's existence, this breakthrough wouldn't have been possible. Now we have a sure way of identifying serial attention seekers," said Professor Erik Bunsenmeyer, GIMH's Head of Mental Health Research.

Although Personality Disorders have been difficult to diagnose for many decades, the introduction of social media has significantly simplified the process.

"If a person posts at least one Selfie a day, or posts an Instagram of every single meal they eat, or uses the Check-In feature to brag about where they went—you know who to unfollow/unfriend, it's the most accurate method we've found,"

While 95-percent of Facebook accounts are primarily used for stalking an ex-boyfriend/girlfriend or for spying on potential suitors, this new discovery actually makes using the social media platform a worthwhile experience.

"When you get engaged to a woman, take note: if she uploads photos of her diamond ring from more than one angle [...] yeah, that's a sign of Advanced Narcissistic Personality Disorder and Gold Digger Syndrome—I'd call off the engagement right away," said Kyle Durndham, Dating Coach. "Relationships are so easy, dude. Isn't Facebook amazing?"

Limpopo, SOUTH AFRICA—Jiromo Aalif Danjuma, African diamond mine child worker, has died aged 7, after an 84-month battle with malnutrition and unsanitary living conditions.

Jiromo Aalif Danjuma was birthed on the shores of the Limpopo River, and started his promising career as a diamond mine child worker at just age 2, but sadly it was cut short by illness and poor living conditions.

The management at De Bier's Diamond Jewellers spoke fondly of Jiromo, saying: "I remember even back when [Jiromo] was 3 years old, he would often work 14 hours a day without complaining. And by age 5, he learned to obey without being threatened with a whip. An incredible young man, he must have dug some 20,000 diamonds in his short time with us. Needless to say, he died doing what he loved."

The Bokchoy sends its thoughts and prayers to Jiromo's family.
