Caught in some news about UKM, and would like to share with you.

UKM deserves top ranking - click to link
This news article briefly states about how much does the author love UKM as he compared it with UM..

Below are some highlights of the article:
- "the syllabus covered in UKM was much wider. "
- "UM students, on the other hand, could opt out of industrial training and did not have to make a presentation."
- " As for the final-year research project, again the demands in UKM are much higher. I personally found mine too extensive for an honours project."
- " UKM students also enjoy better laboratory facilities that allow them to work on difficult projects."
- "Malaysian Genomics Institute and many other research laboratories are located in the main Bangi campus."
- " UKM is attracting more and more post-graduate students from Third World nations due to its growing reputation for providing good research facilities and environment."

Summary: Sounds like we NEED to appreciate UKM, doesn't it? Mm...It's up to you anyway. Personal opinion, "As we can't do anything about it, see first la..." -.-"'

Industrial students’ training under review - click to link
This news pulak about the industrial training programme that we are going to meet later on.

Highlights:
- "The Higher Education Ministry will review the length of students' industrial training."
- "At present, the length of industrial attachments can last from six weeks to six months depending on course requirements."
- "the review was based on students' feedback that the time frame of some attachments was too short." (What??? TOO SHORT??? I wonder which id_ _ t students said that!)
- "At present, public universities have individual arrangements with those in industry to provide training for their students."
- "We want some form of structure but not total uniformity as different courses have different requirements."
- "some industries gave students an allowance."
- "We can't force them to give allowances as providing these attachments comes as a cost to the industry." (So why don't we forget about the training programme? Haha...Anyway it's just my suggestion... ;p)

Summary: We're gonna suffer~
