i wonder how many people contributed data for malaysia as compared to the other countries?

can't see what you've posted. the link seems to be broken too.

Too bad not all of us can afford to study abroad 

Given a choice, I would prefer a foreign grad but then.....

A fren's son graduated from a oz university and wrote in to apply for a post with an international bank. He was among the 100 shorlisted and was given a short interview over the phone and thereafter was among the few shortlisted and asked to attend an interview in person.

He speaks good english and was a good communicator but the interviewer was in for a shock when he notice from the results transcript that this chap just merely passed most of his papers with some supplementary passes.

If it was a marketing position it doesn't really matter but this position deals with analysis of figures and comes up with a summary and interpretations.

Impossible to have all student graduated from above universities

What is alaskanbunny's point?

Do you want to change people's perception of Malaysian Universities?

You had the intelligence but got love struck. The interviewer would have asked you, what happened?

Unfortunately, first impression counts unless limited choices

well this survey is conducted globally so highly unlikely Malaysia uni will be in the chart. however if its a local survey,then Malaysian uni would be well placed

what you mentioned is actually very common in a lot of universities. take note that the method of learning and examination during primary, secondary schools and college is quite different when compared to university. hence the difference in results.

a person who merely passed in secondary school could be a top scorer in university and vice versa.

in fact, you even see this during the transition from lower secondary to upper secondary too (going from pure multiple choice exams to short question & essay questions)

You mean local unis or private unis ?

exactly against what academic standard?

There are also masters and Phd students of such low calibre. You should read the kind of sentences these post-grad students write. Even those at the NUS can't write well. I've seen some in my time.

I'm not just saying about NUS. It's happening all over the world at almost all the unis except perhaps the ivy leagues. It's the falling standards all over the world but it's worse in MY. How do you know I'm mixing with the wrong people? Dun tok like you know me. I could be doing better than you,you know and perhaps I am too so dun patronize.

If you plan to work in Malaysia, IPTA with cgpa around 3.5 is enough. I have friends graduated from UMT and Unimap working at Petronas and Intel now. Starting salary 3k+

It's okay. I'm not in the frame of mind to argue or to explain further. The good schools are an exception. Generally,the standards are going down everywhere.
