Issue : Do we know ourselves??

2006-08-08T21:19:00.001+08:00

Time for a reality check. Are we doing something that suits our personality? or Have we simply indulged into a path because of other factors including peer pressure?While we hear grunts every year when top notch students fail to get medical seats in the Public Universties, how could one be sure that these top notch students would actually make better doctors as compared to their averaged scored

Parents, being Tamil-school loving folks send us to Tamil vernacular school. We then struggle in the remove classes and lose a year there.

2006-05-27T11:53:00.000+08:00

Are we, the so-called minorities are being suppressed by fanatical parties who knows nothing except their people, their skin-color? Is there a class of working force in IPTAs who are color-blind?

Tips: Resume Writing

2006-05-21T21:55:00.000+08:00

It is undoubtedly a privilege being sponsored to continue one’s further studies abroad. Although studying in Malaysia is now encouraged, there is still a tiny spark in most Malaysian students’ heart, hoping to be given the chance to be a student ‘overseas’.
