firstamongequal,

The first, second and third are from the Chemistry department. With respect, what make you think that Professor Ng Seik Weng could publish 149 more publications than Assoc. Professor Dr. Lo Kong Mun??? Prof. Ng alone could publish the same amount of those from the other top 10?! I have my right to suspect, OK? Even a layman smell something fishy. Or maybe MACC need to investigate if there is corruption?!

Bullshit! I don't have to proof his credibility, since it is publish by UM, the responsibility is on the university to explain. Otherwise, it is a scam.

BINGO

Reason why Professor Ng Seik Weng could publish so much journal articles:

Professor Ng Seik Weng Homepage:
http://kimia.um.edu.my/staff_new/seikweng/seikweng.htm

He is the Co-Editor of Journal Acta Crystallographica Section E (from 2003)
Impact factor of Acta Crystallographica is VERY LOW at 0.367

His publication list is here:
http://kimia.um.edu.my/staff_new/seikweng/...ns-seikweng.pdf

You will see essentially ALL publications are published in Acta Crystallographical!!!!! Some of the publications are:


You are FOOLed, my dear firstamongequal!!!!! As I have said, he is just publishing in his own journal! He is the editor, he could choose to publish his own publications at all right. Now you know how people could abuse power in academia.

I am a researcher myself, I have never seen such a strange thing, and this is happening in Malaysia. Gosh!!!!!

1) People can ONLY be lied to if they want to BELIEVE the lie.

2) There are PLENTY of evidence out there about quality of education in Malaysia.

"Blue pill or red pill"

3) There TWO kinds of people in the world.

A) People that want to hide away from the TRUTH and pretend everything is okay until it crashes on their head.

B) People that seek and find the TRUTH.

For 3(A) type of people, you CANNOT convince them. No, this is NOT racial. We have 3(A) type of people in all races. It is just easier for certain race because of the protection. For others, STARVATION tend to wake people up.

You are right, we have been protected by oil money, but if the oil crisis really hit us in the future, Malaysians would not the only one who suffer from this oil issue madness, there are so many more countries that use oil as their economic shield, just look at Brunei...even big countries like USA and China probably cant escape from this as well just look that their dependency on oil currently u will know they will be dragged into this issue as well if they don't start using the alternative energy.

My point is, if that time arrives, I truly believe it will be a global issues, panic and chaos will strike majority of the human population in the world. Yet, I dunno why I have this euphoric feeling about chaos, maybe there's the best opportunity when a brilliant man knows how to exploit from the lesser one for his personal gain. Sorry, just ignore the last part of my egocentric confession

meebo,

Do you UNDERSTAND the DIFFERENCE between OIL MONEY in Malaysia versus OIL CRISIS in world??

I am NOT talk about PEAK OIL, OIL CRISIS etc.. I am talking about Malaysia becoming NET OIL IMPORTER in a few years and the loss of OIL MONEY in Malaysia. This is a Malaysia ONLY problem.

Dreamer

Oops my bad then, sorry

Stop whining, you are playing the racial card all along.

dreamer, i respect your knowledge but why do u whine about malaysia while being a malaysian yourself? its getting boring

f4tE,

I do not WHINE. I ACT on my belief.

I CHOOSE to boycott all those 90+% organization. I want to bring them down so that Malaysia could have a FUTURE. I want to bring them down so that ALL RACES could be INTEGRATED. I VOTE with my money everyday.

So, the QUESTION back to YOU is do you WHINE or ACT??

If enough people ACT instead NATO, Malaysia would not even come to this stage over the past 30+ years.

So, what have you DONE to make sure that Malaysia has a FUTURE??

PRETEND that nothing is WRONG?? WHINE that you cannot do ANYTHING?? Talk but do NOTHING??

Dreamer

P.S.: If you see a bunch of people about to walk off a cliff, do you warn them or you don't?? Even though those people had done you wrong but as a compassionate human being, would you keep quiet??

You have 3 options

A) Keep quiet

B) Warn them

C) Tell them that there is nothing wrong and they are fine.


I can accept (A) and (B). But, I am NOT willing tolerate people like the poster "Human Being" that do ©.

What do you choose?? Are you a Malaysian??

Sorry for the ongoing situation.

You are spot on that PhD is the way to go, especially if you choose to fulfill your 'dream' and be in the academic line. You could still be a lecturer with your Msc, it is adequate but please bear in mind that you ought to keep developing yourself. Getting a Phd would also help in promotion, climbing the salary scale etc.

I am not familiar wiith UTAR, but perhaps they waive the fees for their staffs?

oh i see your point dreamer.

You also seem to have a problem in comprehending statements. I never say nothing is wrong and they are fine. I just choose not to comment on your racist comments because this is not the right forum. You are turning this thread into your personal vendetta and I choose not to be a part of it.

likimikuku,

Just a story for your reference. Hopefully, it can help you.

<<When I was a kid, I dream to be a teacher. >>

I like to teach and I know that I can teach. I have the ability to UNDERSTAND complicated subject and explain it in a simple term. I can teach people beyond the subject. I have the ability to teach people to THINK.

I started tutor my classmate on math when I was in standard 2. And, I never stop teaching when I was in high school, college and so on. I am still teaching people in my works.

So, I do not dream to be a teacher. I love teaching and I just do it.

So, what is that you like on being a teacher?? Is it teaching?? If yes, what is STOPPING you to teach now??

If not,

A) How do you KNOW that you actually like to work as a teacher??

B) How do you KNOW that you KNOW how to teach??

I LOVE teaching. LOVE = doing something for FREE because you just LOVE it.

So, how you KNOW that you ACTUALLY like to be a teacher??

Dreamer

You really need to improve your English before you go anywhere near teaching.

dude LOL u are mean... *checking his grammar*

It seems you are having trouble teaching the people in here. Either you only love to teach people but dont really know how to teach them in the simplest term, or people in here dont really love to be taught by you...

howszat,

Thank you for correcting my grammar.

When rain fall from the sky, some went into soil and nourish the plant. Other went to drain and get wasted. Now, just because some rain gone to waste, does it means the sky should top raining??

When you post something in the forum, some people are at the right level and right frame of mind to listen. Hence, they learn. Others would not. So, would you stop posting just because some couldn't learn??

Dreamer

Seriously, i don't really know how to teach
but no harm learning right? I guess we all start from zero.

if you ask me, how do i actually know i would like to be a teacher/lecturer....erm......well, i don't know.
I was hoping bro and sis here can share with me the pride of educating other.

likimikuku,

I'm a researcher myself and I aim to be a lecturer in future. I got my PhD from Aus fully funded by the Australian government. If you are a non-Bumi, the fact is you will hadly get a scholarship from our beloved Malaysian government, so you gotta be independent and strive to get a scholarship from overseas. Having said that, you could still try to get a scholarship from UTAR. You will be required to teach at UTAR for several years, living with pathetic RM2,800-4,000 per month (salary for Master's holder) before you get the chance to study PhD at overseas. Otherwise, you could teach and study PhD at the same time at UTAR.

If you have the passion to teach, in my opinion, you should not give it a pass. Help yourself to get a scholarship, and don't be silly to even think about financing yourself. You'll learn to teach while doing a PhD through:

1. Becoming a tutor and earn about AuD$20-AuD$25 per hour in Australia.
2. You need to do a lot of presentation in conference, seminar, talks... so you'll learn to be a lecturer as time goes by.

All in all, if you wanna go back to Malaysia and teach there for the rest of your life, there are abundance of opportunities. Just go back and get a job at UTAR and study your PhD there while getting a monthly salary of RM2,500-RM4,000 per month, note that you are required to teach for many hours without extra allowance or salary in return for your salary. If you wanna remain at overseas after PhD, get a scholarship from overseas, it's highly competitive!!!!!

likimikuku,

<<if you ask me, how do i actually know i would like to be a teacher/lecturer....erm......well, i don't know.>>

You KNOW. It is JUST a question of HONESTLY asking yourself.

A) Is it the pay??

B) Is it the idea of doing research??

C) Is it the pace of life??

D) <<the pride of educating other.>> ??

My POINT is this. Normally, if a person likes to educate someone, they will have plenty of formal and informal opportunity to do this by YOUR AGE. Now, if the person DO NOT actively seek out and perform at the opportunity, the LIKELIHOOD that the person like teaching is VERY LOW.

I am NOT discouraging you from pursuing YOUR DREAM. The PROBLEM is most people have a VERY BLURRY view of their dream. They THINK that they want something like X. Then, they find out what they want is what X represent. They could have do Y instead.

So, question back to YOU. What do you LIKE about being a teacher? What is YOUR REASON?? Other people's reason is USELESS to you.

Dreamer

honestly, it would be

D = C > A > B for me.
