hehe this is interesting, could i ask both of u, who suggest there is an easy phd, fify85 and another lowyat.net member, could u prove it is easy?

such as, could u take that "easy" course and graduate with a phd? pls. im dying to see how easy u guys can obtain it. =)

btw, no entrance requirement? maybe for ur field, but i obtained first class in my engineering degree to get into my phd. and for me, my phd is quite hard. Maybe yours dont need to do even degree to get a phd? maybe perhaps, coz u make it sounds so easy.

"wey stupid ronaldo, dunno how to play football ka? i sleep also can kick better lo"

d type of talk only, but when we give u d ball, u cant do anything with it. thats my opinion. we have 2 many NATO here, ppl which claim something else is easy, but he himself cannot do it.

Hi cvk, well my case is similar with urs, yeah i jump from degree to phd..
Well the question to do or not to do, we can only advise u, but u d one that have d answer deep inside of u. There are many reasons to do or not to do phd, well i dont know ur reason, but i can help by listing mine.

1. I do not really into "working" culture, in at 9am and go back at 5pm (im d lazy type, usually i wake up very late ) Plus i did my internship last time, and not really keen about work stuff...well its hard to say why, but let say..im not really into it.

2. Interest is d important factor, if u really interested in the topic u will be doing, then u will have joy and so much fun doing what u want. if u go to working life, doing waht company wants but not what u want, u might feel stressed out or de-motivated.

3. Money!!! For everyone money is important, no matter how hard we deny it. Well of coz if u choose working, with ur good result, i can say u will earn around 3-4k range of payment. Well with phd, u might earn an allowance around 2.5k (for Biasiswa agong), 2.3k (NSF/Mosti scholar) and around 2k for university pay. well it depends on ur situation, do u need 3-4k to live? to pay for ur car and house? For me, i receive around 2k for my phd..but it is sufficient for me.. yes my frens all driving bigger and better car than me, they might have bigger house and im still stay with my parents. Well..it is sufficient for me at the moment, im lucky to have house to stay and enuff money for my car and food. so yeah, since i dont need alot of money, i opt to pursue for phd first =) plus, phd holder can earn around 5-6k after they graduate. So yeah, i wouldn't mind living a simple and minimal life for now. because i can see brighter future ahead.

btw thanks to highwind and sergeant pepper for backing the phd life, its hard to "talk" or negotiate with ppl that pulling PhD down by saying it is easy and stuff like that, and it is not pleasant to hear it from someone that not doing the research itself. (its like footballer listen to all the crap from the spectators and fan..haha there is a reason why the footballer is who he is and in the field playing and why the spectators/fan still remain at other side of the field )

Sorry for the late reply cvk. my study is fine, thanks for asking. Biasiswa Agong, i heard they receive thousands applications every year, they will selected around 52 for interview, and only 12 lucky student will be sponsor, and get the chance to meet with our Agong himself and yeah, ur pics will be on the news as well.

Well, go for NSF then, NSF have bioscience as well if im not mistaken, NSF sponsor quite a number of PhD students =)


@Pepper, yup we need to promote more, haha that why i want more ppl tell us about their projects in details, so can attract more ppl to discuss bout it =)

Welcome dude =)

btw i heard for oil exploration they used diamond bits? Btw when u say cutting thru something, i always have a flashback on laser-cutting scene in Bond

Is there any other method to drill underground to find for the oil without using the diamond? any other alternatives? perhaps u can find another way to do it bro

instead using diamonds, u guys using reinforced ceramic or something, later can get rich by proposing this idea. haha

Well i believe they have it for some no of years already (its started on 2006), yes, JPA claimed is the highest scholarship in malaysia and what more, u will have the oppourtunity to have lunch with agong

here some quote from wikipedia "Yang di-Pertuan Agong Scholarship

In November 2006, the 10th Yang di-Pertuan Agong awarded, for the first time, the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Scholarship to ten outstanding students to pursue postgraduate studies at high-ranking world universities. The award of scholarships was held at the Istana Negara in conjunction with the Independence Day celebrations and Council of Rulers Conference.[2]"

and here is link, the difference between how much YDPA will give ur monthly allowance http://www.jpa.gov.my/v3/2009/07/1180/lang/en/
United Kingdom £ 1,639.50, its about RM9-10k /month.

well bro, i think ur comment is abit out of d line.

i went for the interview before, and i can say there a quite a number of Chinese and Indians during the interview. So yeah, ur allegation is quite baseless.

btw i didnt get the scholarship. lolz. Coz im continuing my study in Nottingham Malaysia Campus only, if im not mistaken, ppl that going to cambridge/oxford get that scholarship.
