Here we can see that, defense on critical courses are not really relative.. They're a necessity even in Engineering.

QUOTE(limeuu @ Aug 22 2011, 12:19 PM) i have a lot of problem understanding postings here, due to very bad sentence structures, bad grammar, and wrong use of words......and this is symptomatic of the general poor command of english amongst msian students.... Not only will B grade student not think about applying, the A grade student will also not be thinking of applying..it's only for the top 3-5% of the A+ grade student, that is assuming one scores well for ISAT/UMAT and the interviews by various universities. If I am to choose between a local grad intern/houseman and one from Sg/uk/oz to attend to me, the choice is obvious. No offence to the local grads, but this is how it is, and sadly the really good local grads are not differentiated, not at intern/HOs level.msian doctor training suffers from 2 major flaws.... first, too many med schools have opened, without regards for quality, both in the syllabus, teachers, and students......the fact that all the new med schools are private, for profit businesses compounds the matter further, with intake of very academically weak students with money..... this problem is compounded further by there being too many foreign med schools recognised (some 300 odd).....giving rise to a very large cohort of msians studying overseas.......about 1000 in each of russia and egypt......and another 1000 odd from indonesia/india/bangladesh/etc...... the 2nd major flaw is, there is no control over who these med schools select for their courses......therefore, they will admit as many as possible (and like cucms, MORE than they are legally allowed to), as every student is money......foreign 3rd world med schools will admit as many as possible, as they are very good source of income, and they are not cocnerned about the quality of students/eventual doctors, as almost NONE will stay back to work in these countries.... and since many very good, straight a's students are poor, and cannot afford the fees, they cannot enter, and weak b or c grade students with money gets accepted.....the new mmc rule is an attempt to correct this flaw..... even the ipta med schools are flawed, in compliance with the nep, to take in more matrik students, many of whom are weak students with inflated marks..... like i said, if you want to know how properly to select and train doctors, look at how spore/uk/oz select......and the calibre of students they have......no b grade student will even think about applying, let alone c grade......and a thread like this will not exist in their education forums.......

Hi TS.. Life kinda sad when you don't get what you want.. But it is the best.. Based on my experienced, I also want to be a doctor.. I cry a lot when I got C for biology and want to throw away everything about medicine.. It like the end of the world.. After 4 years, here I am.. Currently working as asst.engineer..
You know what.. "It is possible that you dislike a thing which is good for you, and that you love a thing which is bad for you." |

So, TS also comes up with a medicine thread eh. Never mind.
TS, I am not sure if you bother to read my post. I hope you do, and do it, with an open mind, a humble heart - in short, with attitude. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « |

"It's time to grow up. Playing with words, speaking with exaggeration doesn't work. It doesn't impress others and never make you smarter. I don't know if you have a picture of yourself in the future. But if you do, I can tell you that you are likely not going to achieve it with your current attitude." (What do you mean by exaggeration,what i said about the part where i said doctor making people extend people's life expectancy or the part where i said rich people can gather and open an hospital?) I never had the idea of impressing other in this thread,all my post i started it out of curiosity,but it did make me smarter i know more stuff before i open the two posts.About what your teacher said,another way ,it's just acknowledging that you're not always right and there are always people that are smarter than you.I don't get why are you tell me this.Did i blindly reject any of the forumer's point of view?I didn't right?To accept something which is true and to convince people something is true,you need facts right?The sames goes for me, you can't call me arrogant for not accepting what you said just because you said it you must prove me wrong or prove you right. Added on August 25, 2011, 11:42 pmAnd what do you meant by "Time to grow up and stop playing with words"Everything i tried to convey is what i think is right and i tried to support it by facts.And due to my lack of survey and research,everything i said might not be right.Isn't that what adult do?How can you say that i am immature for telling people what i think is right and for asking people for assistance to collect people's point of view?In my point of view If you don't see the post i post then it shows that i am not matured .

To mieza, sometimes we are interested to do something, doesnt mean we can did it well.
Interest and ability are different thing. I am interested being a policeman, but I am wearing spectacles. This post has been edited by sotong1992: Aug 26 2011, 12:51 AM |

Pilots had strict rules of only perfect vision.
However, new decade policy made it accessible to those with corrected vision, but only with perfect corrected vision. I don't see why police don't. And there are cops using spectacles in my area. Better check the PDRM's entry requirements. |

QUOTE(limeuu @ Aug 21 2011, 10:07 PM) when i eventually need the services of doctors, i want them NOT to be grade c mediocre students with rich parents..... So you're basing your life on some paper sheet with a grade written on it and not the doctor's experience and personality and professionalism? You sure are not a medical student nor a doctor. Getting grades is very doable but leaning the practical skill is the hard part. 80% of what you learn in med school especially on books is not used on a doctor's daily work life. It is the hands on skill majorly in what you learn in med school that is used during your housmanship and clinical and so on. So passion IS very important as well as academics and practical skills as well. I would trust a doctor based on their experience and personality but never merely on the slip of paper which they sat for 10 years ago. Grades you can always achieve better but practical skill and personality is what defines a doctor self preservation..... |

A necrosed thread resurrected!
I would be extremely surprised anyone will be retaking SPM to do medicine, in the light of the current 1 year wait for housemanship, 30% retainment in housemanship and 10% drop out.....see what "passion" produced... This post has been edited by limeuu: Jan 20 2018, 04:22 PM |
