Subscribe in a reader | Subscribe by Email Putera MIC conducted their first ever (and I believe a first for any Indian political party) online chat on tertiary education for students. The chat was on their website. According to Malaysiakini:
The discussions – which lasted for seven hours – involved more than 50 people who were eager to find out about opportunities available in universities and other colleges.
The discussions dealt with a number of issues including grouses by students who had been offered courses that they did not apply for and the apprehension some had in studying at Universiti Malaysia Sabah in Labuan and the Universiti Malaysia Terengganu in Kuala Terengganu.
There were also enquiries pertaining to the availability of scholarships, study grants and loans.
According to the panel of moderators, one option was for students to explore the Higher Education Ministry’s post-graduate study grants.
Students needing financial help were asked to check several websites (link is down – I checked twice in space of 11 hours) to find a comprehensive list of scholarships and grants available from various sources including the private and public sectors.
The MIC wing also offered students the option to check on job vacancies and scholarships via Facebook.
The online chat began at 10.30am and ended at 5.30pm.
The session was moderated by Putera MIC members who were former university students as well as several local university staff members.
Putera chief coordinator P Kamalanathan said he was happy with the response to the live chats.
“Based on the good response, we would extend this chat session to discuss other issues as well,” he told Malaysiakini.
Its a good effort. However, they should have done more publicity by informing the cyber community in advance of such a chat session.
Secondly, the Facebook link points to a group called United Malaysian Indian. Not sure how the two entities are related as I believe the FB group is not politically-affiliated with any party. Anyway, possibly a misreporting or just ad-hoc c0operation between them.

that’s excellent results. congrats! i hope you have done some groundwork on both engineering (which engineering? there’s many of them) and medical (talked to any doctors?) i always say: medical and teaching job is not easy and not for everyone. you should start to decide which is 1st interest and which is 2nd, or do you want to stick with one single interest?
i assume you have applied jpa/petronas/tenaga/tm etc? how about matric? if you are bumiputra, should have applied mara and also asasi under UPU.
thx
hw about scholarship???/
scholarship is the list i mentioned above – jpa, tenaga, telekom etc. other than you just have go through the list of scholarship at the eduhelp site and see which fits you. as for medic, only got JPA scholarship.
cn i do medic at overseas????
if can, hw???
most likely you won’t get JPA scholarship for medic, but if they shortlist you and you do well in interview, got chance la.
other than that, your option is to study in private for pre-med foundation and then get a place in foreign uni using the placement agencies.
sir i gt diploma kejuruteraan elektrik(perhubungan) in utm n matrix in melaka.
whch is better sir???
im rely confused
ples help me
depends on what you want to do.
if take up matrics, you need to study, get good results and apply to IPTA for degree program. maybe can get, maybe not. but chance to get is higher.
if take diploma, you can graduate and go to work. you can also apply to IPTA to do degree, but harder to get place as compared to matrics.
