i survived on loans and scholarships. there are different loans offered in Spore and of course, different scholarships both in Spore and Msia which you can apply. if your family really can't even pay for you to settle down in Spore for the initial period, email NTU. No one should be denied education in Spore bcos of financial issues.

But I think most of Malaysians who study there also will have such problems since the currency exchange rate for SGD is so high and I was like initially scare of burdens for myself and my family and how am I gonna repay all the loans...then my dad sorta gimme a talk say "u r still young and i think u should take the risk and when u work tere(which i have to look for due to 3 year bonds) i believe you can pay back all your loans pretty fast" @@

TS, although it is UM that offered you the place
still you have to bear in mind that
for you to be a graduate from NTU
it is definite that you'll get a better job prospect

wow, that was nice. =)

it is true that a degree from a higher ranking university will give you some additional points during job application.. however, it does not guarantee that you will get the job.. please bear in mind that you still have your results and interview.. as a matter of fact, i have plenty of friends from um and usm who are working in sg with good salaries..

if you can bear the financial stress during your period of study, go to sg.. else.. better do it locally.. you still can get a good job after that..
