Where will be the best PHD school in the malaysia?

cant understand. do you mean best ranked university in malaysia?

Depends on your research field, supervisor, facilities etc.

+1, different Universities are strong in different aspect of research....
Try not to choose the Universities based on rankings alone.
It would be good if you can find out the lecturers there and have a look at their publishing records, then ask for opinions of the people working there, only then decide

if you're doing science, for sure i'll suggest USM.

UM has a good track record, tradition and history.

USM is the best because it have apex status. Even UM lose to USM when fighting for that status

Dunno. For 1st degrees & masters UM is probably better than anywhere else in Malaysia -mostly because of the emphasis on good theoretical foundations in research and studies. But UM also prefer to send their PhD candidates overseas (maybe because it took too long for the students to finish their theses locally?)

That's mostly inter-varsity politics

Masters and phd locally sucks because waste the student time. Research too slow.

Haha... we shall see... planning to finish my phD in 2 years time

impossible to finish 2 yrs time. Can bet with u

You sure you wanna bet? haha...
The minimum time is 3 years.... but I plan to finish in 2 years and use to final year to start another project (while leaching the scholarship)

Its easy to think and good for motivation. But when u start u know its impossible. If u can do it, let me know

I've already started for quite some time, will continue to try my best
Its possible But the time taken will probably vary between different fields..
Hard work+ determination FTW

what field are u in? economics and stuff?

Oh, I'm doing my phD on molecular biology... maybe its easier compared to other fields haha

still 2 yrs is quite impossible for phd. Molecular biology sounds easy but in a phd project its not as easy as u think, not? Its not just pcr and get result then publish paper. Im sure there's alot of experiments u have to do to achieve you objective

Yeah, I'm aware of the additional experiments that I'll need to do, but I'm still optimistic haha
To me, molecular biology is quite simple... I'm more afraid of the non-molecular-biology aspects haha
Fifi85 you are also doing your phD on Biology-based field? Just curious hehe

my final yr project i did molecular bio so know abit abit la. Not like master phd expert knowledge.

Oh I see... Surely you must've ran a lot of PCRs~
Haha... its funny how we all loved CSI at 1st, after being taught about molecular biology then .....
I hope you won't mind me asking, you are working already? Researcher?
