welcome! so ur matric no is WEK07 something?
3 or 4 years ago, the foundation students can bring motorcycles and even cars. but not now apparently. the rules are stricter now as the amount of cars in UM everyday makes the road jams in the morning and in the evening after work. if im not mistaken, at the moment only first year and above can bring a motorcycle and only fourth year and above can bring a car into UM. but thats on the paper.

practically, the guards are quite lenient as they dont really check who comes in and out from UM. they only check it randomly so if u arent lucky enough they wont let u in. good luck then  tongue.gif

well, are undergrads aware that you guys had took away postgraduate's car park when you guys drive in your car? hmm.gif

we compromise our research grant for you guys to do final year project, supervised your research work so that you will not screwed up the lab or explode the machines, teach you guy whatever we know to make you a better person... rclxub.gif and you guys return by take away our car parks...

mind letting us know which area does this thing occur? which faculty? i dont think this problem occurred at FSKTM as the parking area is quite big and spacious.

Science, PASUM, IPS, Geology Fac, Bioinformatic Building  laugh.gif

You all forget: Medic Fac and Engineering Fac.
No doubt there is a new car park but it was totally owned and pawned by university hospital staff.

Agree with you PF T.J.
True enough... there are lots of building in UM but no parking allocated. IPS parking had been demolished for another unknown(heard is UPGP) building... although I'm not major in building/construction, but by mere looking at outside, the new building doesn't seems to have any visible car park. I wonder what those architect and interior designer think before they draft the plan.

Yup, all the fundings went to the buildings... as if they have a better building (UPGP), they can manage the funds better... doh.gif that explained the reason of all our approved research grant was held and not given to us to spend. Yet, we still need to fulfill our boss KPI by produce 3 ISI paper. Also, other problems such as slow payment issue etc... really give us a very hard time, on top of that there is a newly implemented e-procurement system... if you are a research-based postgrad, you know and should be able to understand the problem and the fuss what I was saying. Just imagine all our funds were slashed just to build a useless building which doesn't guarantee efficiency in future grant management.

Really ni-----ahhhh--maaa--ccchhhhh-----aaaaau-------haiz

I wonder what the management had been doing all these while. hmm.gif

I'm not sure about LAN wires, but yes, all college and departments have Wifi, almost the whole campus is wifi covered....
But coverage is one thing, speed is another thing  laugh.gif

Yaya, forgot about Engineering Fac, the roads are always parked to capacity  sweat.gif And we often see many cars being clamped  rolleyes.gif
Well, there are quite a lot of parking lots allocated, only that almost all of them are for staffs/lecturers  sweat.gif
Yeah, parking will be a problem for IPS students (like me) soon, especially headache when we have to go to Science Fac to tutor classes and then come back and find there's no single parking lots  laugh.gif

Yeah, e-procurement "FTW"!!!!!!!!!!!! A new system to make our lives much, much more miserable FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.......

UM is ONE!!!!  laugh.gif

Hi,
thanks for redscorpion for starting this post.
As graduate from IPTS, i plan to apply master in UM, however, most of my lecturer and mentor object it, as it is possible to take up to few years to graduate as master in UM, and i may probably fail, not due to poor performance but due to political issues.

Is there anyone here willing to support me, let say you have happy hour in studying master, and able to graduate within one year?

I challenge you to complete your master (by research full time) study in UM within a year's time.

I really notworthy.gif you if you really can.

Why?
1) Grant apply need at least 2-4 months
2) Issue PO need near to 2 weeks, each.
3) Payment delayed 2-3 months is normal, apply scholarship only know after 4 months.
4) Long queue for machines
5) Proposal writing, paper work for purchasing items, make sure 1 paper got accepted before you can graduate
5.1) journal reviewer usually took 2-3 months to review your paper.
6) thesis writing and viva?

This is yet to be include the time u spend for assay optimization and experimental design or doing the lab work.

One year graduated? Impossible if is by research work in science related field.

If you doing arts or religious or language study.... maybe???? I dont know.
