Earlier this year, JPA limited its scholarship for overseas study. Recently, a huge number of JPA scholars pleaded Prime Minister Najib Razak to guarantee that the most outstanding amongst them to receive overseas scholarship.

Justine Jason Barnabas, a representative of some 150 students, made a proposal to Dato’ Sri Najib Razak to revive the Renowned University Programme, also known as the JPA Ivy League Setara Scholarship.

This issue is the result of Public Services Department’s (JPA) decision to stop giving overseas scholarships last January 20 due to the downsizing of the government’s revenue.

Barnabas proposed for at least 30 of them to be given scholarships under the Ivy League programme.

Dato’ Sri Najib responded to his plea by saying that he needed to analyse the budget and discuss the proposal with the ministry before making a decision.

Diam la... who ask your parents to vote for Najib... respect the decision of your Lord!

Shopping using private jets not cheap u know... need to make cuts somewhere la!

Cancel je lah. Study so much overseas for what?

Waste tax payer money and never pay back some more.

I agree with the funding cut.

hahaaaa... dream on...
you have political power?... no? ....then dream on...

take this as a critical life lesson and never hope for anything from anyone ever again...

thanks

Why no go to fund me website and raise jew own scholarship

Hey, you steal my tax money!

ask for donations la

sterling example - get 2.6b

Nation already gonna bankrupt la. It's wise to cut down spending, u wanna end up like Greece is it

10% GST incoming....

Want to disagree saying "but student deserve financial aid for education"

But cant. Cuz truth hurt. Some (which is quite alot) dont come back. And even proud of doing so.some Even more proud didnt pay the education loan he get in the first place.

Haish..

😦

Several post i read in fb

Donno real or not

If fake. Ok lor

If real. Sadding la

LOL, Justine is from Taylor's College.
I would say good luck, but those people can go elsewhere ...
(Dendam membara seumur hidup)
Plus, you are not a girl. Kenot get "extra service".

Ya lor

This topic has been discuss before

I suggest put their parent house as collateral

Disnt come back. Rampas rumah

So parent got no house to live

Confirm x99 the students will come back

Problem solve

I agree with the funding cut because so many come back became terrorist

loyalty > all

to be fair, why would a highly educated person want to come back to Malaysia to suffer all the corruption and cronism?

i know they are being selfish ... but sometimes I can't blame them, people always want a better future

After that they never come back. Migrate instead.

JPA scholars manyak lansi


But their parents usually is high rank politician or good connection businessman


How come kena tercabar?

Why cannot bring lecturer and benefit many, why need to benefit one that didn't come back

1 student around 1 million. study local around 50k only.
that is 20 times more expensive.

but if the student is super talented like 20 times more than normal students and agree to contribute back to the country for with signed contract to back it up, why not.

Definitely. It is understandable

But if thats how its going to be

Majority of our students wont return after getting education that the country pay for

Then its only reasonable that the country cut those funding

And put it elsewhere. Where it would be beneficial to the nation and those Rakyat who still in it

So i think no issue. Its just a solution to a prevalent problem

Dont wanna come back? Sure

We just cut funding

Simple

study at Taylor??

so kaya-raya??

maybe in future JPA scholarship can only study local

want to run also kennot liao

later get..finish studi donwan go back.

This now make perfect sense.


Thanks.


But we have 400k jobless undergrad.

Maybe just channel the money to anak yatim piatu la

Ulat semua menular, bila abang Google memberi pertolongan.
Terima kasih abang Google!

Ah yes limit to local study

Thats a good solution

UM is world class university, go study there.
now economy no good, you come back build the country first.

This.



I actually love to see all jpa scholarship stopped

All must become Maslan

My friends that got scholarship to study at ANU supposed to have exam a while ago, then school inform them mehsia government no pay fees, if still tak bayar lagi no need go exam, they all shitbrix lol

So when anak yatim piatu grows up
U get 400k jobless undergrad plus 1million jobless abang yatim piatu
What for
The money masok pocket sendiri best la

sorry lo .... Najib will not give you a single ¢.

I agree. No JPA scholarship for ALL.

ask sultan johor for help
johor help you
you be johorean

Just study local. We've got the best IPTs around the country eg. UM, USM, MMU, UTP, UTM, etc.

these so called high achievers takes the scholarship, go study UK or US then don't want to come back and serve the nation.

I'd say wise move jibby for cutting the scholarship fund.

Yang so proud didnt not pay back their loan tu memang patut kena @#$%-5()*!?";

300k ptptn holders right there

Hahaha wait long long la!

Maybe should do it like this
U cakap u cerdik ma
I sponsor u pigi IPTA/IPTS
kalau dapat 3.85 result sangat bagus.
I sponsor u go overseas for masters.

1 is because IPTA/IPTS cheap, there already save a lot budget Liao
2nd is by the time they go for masters will be much more matured. Hopefully la

taylors uni and taylors college

overrated uni with overdo marketing
tapi mostly sampah punya graduate

even girl do better than them...only culinary arts, hotel management ,accounting and business ok
lain sampah

You say that, and even I know that.
But a lot of people will then say "You criticise Taylor's because you are no good!"111

Some people are just strange.

dah miskin x payah belajar, bila belajar buat hutang x mahu bayar

I ex taylorians and ex marketing team for taylors/...

aku taula...

and they have so many hidden secrets.. ( other than the corruption or undertable one)
lecture piap amoi student for mark also ada

"let me discuss with my wife first"

mintak lebih. gahmen ask u to serve bukan main taichi lagi. ptui

Stupid reply would be:
"You jeles you never get asked to piap for marks"
IReallyNeed Answers - what do you think about that? Good ole university values, eh

Sorry Justine - good times are over

You can do just as well studying in UM

Maybe after that for speciality study or expert study - government can send you overseas do Phd

Am sure you would agree this is a better plan if you really care about the country

me is a guy..

Ya la, I know ... they will say
"Student never ask to piap you in exchange for marks, that is why you are jealous"
Not just Taylor's has that "feature" / "perks"

studnet of Taylors College

overrated babi university
marketing je lebih
but in real, not all are good...

dumping ground for richfag's $$$$

Beg....... now no better than begger on the Street.

Boy student piap lady lecture ada tak?

aku menipu kalau aku kata takda

Fuiyoh ayam rike
So much openness in the uni

its all about skill,attitude,cara pemakaian, ada wang

cukup cukuplah habiskan wang rakyat lepas tu balik jadi pembangkang

Too bad ayam no wang only study TARC
Ada wang Ada hnngh lady lecture

better stop it...
they jpa scholars misuse the money for their entertainment while in universities...
after graduation guess what...they apply for PR and never came back to serve their own country

abusing taxpayer's $$

TARUC punya amoi and lecturer much obedient

ayam try before, bery obedient wan
especially china wan

Beg.... like dog.

jangan

later they attack u by giving sad story on hiw they suffer there....
cool story maker

Fuiyoh experience sifu here
Eh wait TARUC got China lecture meh?

I'm not saying these shit never happens, it happens and probably more often then I think (sadly another case from Taylor's)

All these does reflects back to the institution and its reputation, but you're basing your arguement/ justification and generalization of all because of one rotten apple?

That's doesn't seem to fair eh?

Do as you wish, named and shamed, but never generalized, we... Atleast I've been taught to be better.

You can't say all Malaysian are corrupted, nor are you going to generalize all Malaysian as being mat rempit just because you encounter a few of them

You're actually correct on that. The person who did the Ph.D in Australia, was previously doing her Bachelor's in NZ.
She jokes about being drunk and taking marijuana overseas.

Certainly hope it opens your eyes.
Sometimes when people say bad things are happening, don't go telling them "you are a cunt".
Imagine someday, these graduates, they might be operating on someone you know.
That's the way the cookie crumbles.

Nope, not all Malaysians are corrupted. Just many of the rich and powerful ones.

student, ayam remember ada, tapi tak banyak

I tell u, they much more obedient and less demanding than taylors
most important u bring them good food will do

yes, cancel all JPA, most of them are already rich and connected to politics but want free education paid by rest of us

A country that tries to be frugal on education, eventually will fall.

woaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Yeah - my friends had a good time traveling around Europe for summer holidays. Of course under JPA allowance

There is a difference between being frugal and blindly wasting tax payers money

100% agree

Hnngh
Should have tried it when ayam still a student there

yeah.... less competiton if less good graduates produced

only in malaysia ... students have to beg to study.

u can try it now also.... just pakai baik sikit, and guna good car

You know any other country that sends students by the hundreds each year to study basic bachelor courses overseas?

This "bright" students should do just as well studying in UM

cannot...later cannot show off to relatives,and on social medias
then shame ppl who study local


always happen wan

jib jib sedang busy beli baju raya la

jangan kacau

Dont have

It's not what's happening that shocked me, I probably could have figure that out myself, what suprised me is that its much more commons that tots.

You do realized I'm not he one going arnd calling ppl 'cunt' right? Hye dude would be nice, Hye bro is settling, but I'm definitely not the one starting a sentence with 'bodo'

But what've been said is true, it'll terrible if it happens to anyone, not just those I know, while I can't expect everyone one to be a saints, I don't believe lecturer would just dispises you out of the blue, I'm not shifting the blame to the student, I'm just saying something it could just be our perceptions of presumed prejudice.

Best solution? Talk about it, it's definitely not our culture to question authority, but when you're 20 and taking a degree, you have every right to do so .

Don't have apa?

They despise you when you point out
"You stated on the mark sheet that this person's programme doesn't compile. Why does he get more than me eventhough MY PROGRAMME WORKS?"

That's where the "despise" comes from. People who want to begin, continue and perpetuate FRAUD.
They want their ricebowl to be secure. So, YOU WILL BE FAILED, AS AN EXAMPLE TO OTHER STUDENTS.

It's pretty simple to grasp, there's your introduction to the politics of terror in academia.
Nothing to do with "attitude" - just wanting what is your right, wanting what is right - IS WRONG. DURRRR!

When it happens to your kids or someone you know, hope you don't get so dismissive. it probably will anyway

This post has been edited by AnimeSinceForever: Jun 28 2016, 11:53 PM

You really hate that lecturer in Taylor's!

I'm just a random stranger commenting in lyn, I've done my part defending the academia profession and I believe I've done more than I should, there's always that one rotten apple that everyone had a right to hate, and I suppose that's yours and I'm taking that away from you.

True story; my friend received overseas jpa scholarship but every sem break saw he travel To europe, japan, korea. Surely he use the jpa moneh. Waste taxpayer money only.

Actually, that was 3 of them ... clap:
The Masters in Electronic Engineering was just one.

But the behaviour is pretty much "u tak suka, I fail u".

The problem, IS FAR WORSE, MORE THAN YOU COULD POSSIBLY IMAGINE.

But carry on thinking it's just one person ... Truth is stranger than fiction - because fiction has to make sense.

Bamyak betul taylors uni defenders here...

Do u know that some ppl bring girl kasi dean piap to pass exam in taylors?

Nobody wants to come defend them? Say some sob story:
"My friend is jpa scholar overseas. Live in house with no heating in winter and no running water. Study under the streetlights. Eat from the bins and leftovers at bakeries. Take bath in gym. Go to sleep on hard floor. Wash underwear in toilet sink. Uses newspapers as clothes when their clothes are drying"
Like that, that is a sob story.

We telling the truth..
Last time i tolong hr help boss interview ppl
Suprisingly some private u like segi,kdu,limkokwing,mmu,uniten perform well in interview,later at work
Tapi taylorians(excepr girls) teruk
