Anti-Planking Act is an act prescribing a universal code of student conduct whereby planking by a student or a group of student during street rallies or similar protest action as a form or redress of grievance be strictly prohibited and applying appropriate sanction thereof. Those who are against of Anti-planking act are saying that it is a freedom of expression. For me, whatever their reasons are, if they like to attend street rallies, they should do it peacefully. Their aim is to voice out their opinions and by wanting to be heard doesn't mean starting an street ramble or fighting. If they are granted with a permit to held rallies, they should also responsible for their acts. Planking could cause traffic or might cause problem in the street but it doesn't clearly manifest the thoughts and feelings of the people behind the rallies or protest. Therefore, it is not a necessity in such activities.

I think planking is a form of free expression but these kids really ought to know where they should place themselves. They do it almost everywhere not only bothering other people around but putting themselves at risk too. During the transport strike they also used it to express their opinion, well there's nothing wrong about it but hey they are doing it in the road! We are always open to express our own opinions and individuality, but then again we arent alone in this world and let us know where to stand.

I don't know the whole content of the anti-planking act, but if it's for students only and for baning it during protests only, then how is this for the common good? Aren't they wasting taxes on this? Besides, by the time this is ratified, planking isn't a hype anymore. Well yeah, planking is dangerous, aside from falling off (if in an unstable place) and the germs you get, you might get run over or something. Imagine if the rallyists planked and some lunatic ran his car over them!!
