i. bringing pet into hostel is prohibited (but then when they question us, they never mention this, instead they focus on the religion part)
ii. there are stories of administration slapping people when they did something wrong, maki hamun etc, barbaric type administration, i dont think you can talk sense with them
iii. we still have 3 years here, dont want to be racist, but attacking them wont be good for us
the thing that piss me off is the way they handle this:

i. instead of hostel rules, they bring out religion, and not a very valid one.
ii. have a little compassion please, future teachers
iii. all chinese student get called to a room by surrounded by a bunch of seniors, and rude to us. i mean, who give you rights to treat us like a bunch of criminal??
iv. suddenly they are very efficient in handling people who broke the rule. where are they when those idiot light up firecrackers (on daily bases whole puasa month) 2-4am in the morning?? firecrackers is illegal in malaysia law no? and those who smoke everyday?? imagine 95% of them smokes, toilet, hallway, in my room, you can smell the smoke. and smoking in hostel is also prohibited, but did anyone take action?? no?? because the warden smokes at hostel too!!
my advise to all (after studying here for 2 years+), please dont send you child to local school, while there are good ones here, i can say most are lemons.
