Trying to get the best possible lower cost and normal lifestyle living, no partying that sort of life. If possible, I would like to work part time whenever schedule allows me. As to where the intended place to practice law very much depends on securing a contract and visa approval ? Thanks.

UK wallplugs are the same as Malaysia,

Hi all, I have a lot of questions to asked even after reading the previous post I'm still not clear on many things on the money side

Anyone can can help me out on this scenario ?

1. I was about to start my uni life in UK on next month and i was kinds of worries about the money issue like e.g. question : bank draft is that was a local banker cheque or refer to traveler cheque (unclear) ?

2. The money that i slot into for this cheque purpose is for open a bank account in UK later.

Hope that those who have experience can reply to my questions.. Thanks!

I thought you're supposed to specify in terms of State for place of birth?

Visa personnel at TB clinic.

There's a person at the ground floor of the tb clinic who you have to fill up your form and show your passport and CAS letter to, along with explaining the visa guidelines. I went to the clinic in Bangsar. So technically, she was in charge of prelim visa+tb info and was supposed to help with filling up of forms, and so she is called a visa personnel. Semantics.

In no way does the definition of 'personnel' indicate that this person has to be employed by a specific organization in order to execute a corresponding function. My dealings with her only involve procedural matters related to my visa, and that's why I call her a visa personnel. I did not label her a VFS personnel or a High Embassy personnel.

Besides, I don't think a menial semantical issue is in anyway important.

The visa personnel deals specifically with visa registration procedures. She is directly affiliated with the process, and I know of no other function of hers. The bank officer, as the name implies, has a multitude of functions generally known to the public. He is not specifically designated to deal with visa issues.

A personnel simply means someone who was employed to do a certain undertaking. It is not interchangeable with employee.

Two points:

1. You assume that only students apply for tier 3 and tier 4 visas.
2. An employee of the clinic implies a contractual relationship, therefore a legal identity binding her to a certain organization. Whether she has any other function with the hospital remains also an assumption. I do not know whether she is employed by the hospital, the government or the embassy or the visa office.

I reiterate that the only dealings I have had with her, and are known explicitly to me (or even other applicants) are pertaining to visa procedures. This fact cannot be disputed. Therefore, she is called a visa personnel simply because her job scope, evident to me deals with visa procedures. It has no legal implication like 'employee'.

I've published, thank you. Definitions are very important in research.

A personnel is someone involved in an organized undertaking. No part of it's definition limits one's occupation to one function or organizational loyalty (unlike employee). My relationship with her is defined by our visa dealings, therefore, I have every reason to refer to her as a visa personnel in my personal capacity. In my relationship with her, her function does not exceed visa dealings. The word personnel doesn't grant her a specialist status or imply a legal bond with a company.

For example, a volunteer in a soup kitchen can be called a soup kitchen personnel. This might not be her full time job, she might not even be paid, she might actually be here to clean up rubbish. But she is involved in the soup kitchen activity, therefore she can be referred to as a soup kitchen personnel. The core of your argument mostly relates to your subjective perception of the word 'personnel'.

I personally don't understand why are you arguing over menial semantics in such a condescending way. How does this even contribute to the visa discussion, especially when most of us here actually understand what I mean? Why not just google for examples (or even definitions for crying out loud).

Uh, it's not my bad. She is involved in the visa form filling and process. How is 'personnel' limited by physical spaces? It applies to mobile jobs as well ( a volunteer patrolling a residential area is called a safety or security personnel. He does not have to work at a police station).

Noone misunderstood me by far, except you. My information is correct.

Dude, I said some programmes, my sentence did not say notts offers an exchange for mpharm. You need to learn how to read.

Nope! But I did my degree at a foreign IPTS though. Many of my friends take the BPharm and Mpharm programme.

You can choose to study at institutions like Notts and Monash. They will allow you to go for an exchange for one year and still be charged local tuition fees only.

Hi peeps, I got an offer from an oversea university and a local university (UM) at the same time. Both offered me my preferred course, Pharmacy.

I am really in a deep dilemma.
Deep inside I really hope I could study abroad as I know there will be lots of challenges await me.

Do well in your local pharm programme, get good results and apply for masters overseas (Mpharm). You need to complete 4 years of studying if you were to opt for an overseas programme (3yrs degree +Mpharm) because for some reason that's the only way you are allowed to practice here in Malaysia. 4 years of overseas fee is really exorbitant and there are more scholarships available for postgrad study.

So do well and apply for a scholarship to do your postgrad abroad. That's what I did.

Heyy, you're taking MPharm as well?
