As long as Malaysia Public University keep producing low quality engineering student how would Malaysia?

An Indian, a Chinese and a Malay were in a terrible car accident. They were all brought to the same emergency room, but all of them died before they arrived. Just as they were about to put the toe tag on the Indian, he stirred and opened his eyes. Astonished, the doctors and nurses present, asked him what happened. "Well," said the Indian, "I remember the crash, and then there was a beautiful light, and then the Chinese and the Malay and I were standing at the gates of heaven. An Angel approached us and said that we were too young to die, and that for a donation of $50, we could return to earth. So, of course I pulled out my wallet and gave him the $50 and the next thing I knew I was back here." "That's amazing!" said one of the doctors. "But what happened to the other two?" "Last I saw them" replied the Indian, "the Chinese was bargaining over the price, and the Malay was waiting for the government to pay for his." :-)

Malaysia Public Universities had been run as a sub government body. Promoted all the Bumi lecture to Professor. Student had been admitted based on color instead of academic. A university shouldn't run as government body, it shall be a place to educate better generation for the people and the country. Matilda, i don't believed that your company don't hire Australian graduate student is base on academic issue. Austrian Civil Engineers are using Austrian Building code, may be this is the main reason since Malaysia are using British Standard, secondly it might due to the need of the project. My self is a American University graduated, i am also a Civil Engineer. Mono the lousy construction might not due to the standard of the local engineer. Normally the construction should be design and construct. During the Construction period, the they might not follow the construction drawing accodingly. Matilda : I believed that you are working in a construction company, not every one with good academic result is good site engineer. Some of them are good when they are in the consultant firm. That what i believe in general.

We can bought over Lotus to help on producing superb car. We can higher Korean & Japanese Controction company to build another Twin Tower. Why do we need good quality enigneering student? As long as they can experiment eating Roti Canai in the space & doing Sky Diving at North Pole, we are already making the record. Malaysia Boleh. yeah yeah yeah tersangat bodoh. Especially those who plan this kind of useless activities.

i have experience study in overseas (3 yrs) and local (2 yrs) for my bachelor and master degree. from wat I see, the quality of teaching depends, some lecturer ok, some not, but good one is there but rare.... as for the quality of engineering student from local U, Ihave seen some good quality one but, is rare...

I think it's also partly caused by the heavy subsidies for education. The students take it for granted that they don't need to pay alot for their education so they take it for granted that they'll always be able to go to school regardless of how poor their grades are. I live in Singapore and have Malaysian relatives and my grandmother thinks that my mother is purposely keeping money for herself instead of giving it to her. My grandma says that education is so cheap for my Malaysian cousins so how come my mother is giving so little money. My cousin graduated from a Uni in Penang. She did some environment course and is now a manufacturing supervisor in a factory. She always gives sketchy details of her job and her mother refuses to send her kids to overseas uni even though they have the money. Always saying that "malaysia uni so cheap, why go overseas?" In my opinion, they have a very narrow view of the world. They rarely come into contact with foreigners and mock my family for eating less meat than them. With people like that, how do you expect Malaysia to come up with students who can lift standards?

Liang Moi, you are so true on the under qualified so-called professional here in Malaysia. I won.t believed it if has not happened to my cousin brother when he has a concussion on his forehead and was admitted. Attended by a bumi doctor and was assured by him my cousin don need any surgery and he will be fine with some medication. My cousin was having high fever a 2 days and luckily an overseas doctor came for visitation purpose bumped into my uncle and my uncle grab whole of him and finally my cousin went through the life threatening moment and recover. If that foreign doctor was not there, I think my cousin would have been passed away 25 years ago. So our family would never take a risk on certain ppl especially on the life threatening matters. You may stereotype me but I only live once! To add on to what Liang Moi wrote, I cant believed every year we produced so many straight As students and is getting more and more that makes SPM and STPM no longer valuable! If Malaysians really became smarter then the exam's level so go up to maintain the standard. Instead we have full of graduates but no job! This is a big problem. U graduates are thinking where all the jobs gone where in actual fact, there has been no major foreign investors in the country since 9/11 and those already in are planning to go out. Foreign investors studied our country on overall n capabilities and how qualified Malaysian are before investing in our country. Majority of HQs and AP - Regional HQs with high profile and salary are being set up in Spore or HKG. Does that tell us something?

lol cant u see malaysia is already half dead? now they have to postpone the dream to 2057... our quality professional citizens are already in other countries seeking fair opportunity. There's only rasuah dogs left in msia

Malaysia university education its a "screw up" they count by quantity not quality. those good university are in overseas. personal opinion, the way Malaysia lecturer teaching matter is really a big problem thus it contribute poor quality student. there is a saying that goes " there is no such thing as bad students only bad teachers" --------------------------------------... i wonder one day if these students hand be come a civil engineer will our building be safe? doctor, i m sure i will not go see them even i m sick. engineer, better buy imported product. the 1st answer is right, how the hell those poor grade students got into university and pass the exam? like that "hancur lah" bangsa dan negara --------------------------------------... we are talking about overall not those very few bright students. if i ran a company/ organization, i ll rather pay more for those overseas student than pay low for local students in my company.

Hmm.. Agree with dk actually.. You cannot blame the engineers only as the design is not done by one person, and usually those design are good enuff.. The most important thing is the construction part of the project. Use bad material (read : cheap ones) and so on and so forth. =)
