Aiyo , Both of them are the highest marks in MUET nationally !!
There are hundrends of Band 6 with high marks, but they both have the highest marks. Thats why they receive the reward.

Should be.

From the star on sunday................

tell me, what am i supposed to think?...........

ISOBEL Chong Shui Theen has been spending the last two months teaching English to the children of missionaries in Thailand.

"My church (SIB Olive Garden in Kuching) was looking for volunteers, so I opted to go. I stayed with a family in Kok Samrong in central Thailand and taught about seven children between the ages of four and eight," said the 19-year-old.

Isobel, of SMK St Thomas in Kuching, Sarawak, got four As in the STPM for General Paper, Literature in English, Biology and Mathematics T, and an A- in Chemistry.

She was one of two students placed in Band Six in the Malaysian University English Test (MUET).

The other is Taylor's University College, Subang Jaya, student Nicholas Ng Beng Hui.

Both received RM1,000, a certificate and a plaque from the Malaysian Examinations Council in recognition of their achievements. - By KAREN CHAPMAN

dear hyperx
no offence here..i am just talking on facts
MD or MBBS is the same....at the end of the day you still have to do your housemanship and MOship then only progress to whatever you want to become.
Again, no offence, as a MBBS holder this does not mean that one is better than those with MD.

Faculties of Medicine of NUS and UM were related long long time ago..but now the situation has changed so much.... why i say so? In the 70s, MBBS graduate from UM were respected highly because the knowledge that they had were really very good and i was told by some senior consultants that those days these graduates, in terms of knowledge, were very close to those preparing for membership exam... again no offence

Thanks

dear bios
no offence here..i am just talking on facts

First of all, let me ask you, are you a medical student? coz your words is kinda too serious and it looks like a comment from typical med student. Perhaps you didnt see the smiley faces in my post. No offence..

ok back to what you said just now. Did i EVER said there is a difference btwn MD and MBBS? I'm just saying TS will obtain the same degree title of medicine which offered by other local gov uni except UM (he was comparing btwn UKM and UM). FYI, UM is the only gov local uni that offer MBBS title, others are MD. So technically what i said is true isnt it?
And please, i didnt said MBBS holder is better than MD

there's one true story i want to share with you, about 3 years ago, i went to a big gov clinics at section 7 shah alam. There were quite numbers of fresh interns working there. Then i heard one of the uncle next to me asked one of the intern:

Uncle: doctor, are you fresh grad? from which uni?
Intern: yes, from Uxx (local gov uni)
Uncle: is it possible for me to get attended by doctor from UM?

*i'm not trying to boosting UM or what here, just that i wanna share with you my real live experience*

so tell me, now the quality from UM is no good huh? so pity me lor, i'll be grad from UM in less than 3 years time..

(to avoid another misunderstanding, i'm not saying UM is the best)

thanx

Hi Hyperx,

You're medical student in UM? Wow! So, what's your advive to me?
Do you think that many top scorers will choose UKM?

dear hyperex
again, no offence here
i think i will not comment anymore on the standard of UM now (which is not my intention) and my point is just that those days UM grads were highly respected because of the reason stated and i am NOT saying that UM Med grads are no good now...
since i have the oppurtunity to be exposed with grads from various med universities, so i know what is happening..and i will not make any comment on this..hope this will settle the issue

again, i would like to say here, i mean no offence...
and lastly... berkhidmat untuk negara
penyayang, bekerja berpasukan dan profesionalisme adalah budaya kerja kita

sincerely apologize for any inconvenience or any heart-ache caused

thanks again

@wgy589, hey i though i already told u that i'm from med faculty UM. My advices? I already told u on previous pages

@bios, i'm sorry for my harsh post too. I guess i'm a bit emotionally unstable when i read your post and straight away replied in that manner.
Yes, i agree with you, no matter where we study, in the end we will still work under the same roof and for our people our country, so we need to learn to appreciate each other ..

dear hyperex
glad that you understood my point
finally, wish you good luck and hope you will pass your final MB with flying colours
cheers
