I concur. I've heard many many PR Malaysian (and Singaporean) grouses about these two groups - scholarship holders and IMU students. Even the local Kiwis complain. To be fair, the scholarship thing happens with Saudis and Bruneians too.

Then some of the loudest complaints are from those on 'Father and Mother Scholarships'. Entry to medicine is cut-throat there.

I agree, the kiwis and PR ppl (who din manage to get into medicine) complained about scholars and IMU students. But what they didnt know is that the number has been pre-allocated even before the course starts, and has nothing to do with the "locally subsidized medicine". The management allocate x number of local students and y number of imu students and z number of scholars each year, and they are independent of each other. There is a small amount of self funded full course international students i presumed, whom i've never met any before.



If u take law in NZ, would u work in NZ? if u want to return to msia, how do u get registered/recognition from msia?

To natbass,

If u want to enter NZ for medicine, i suggest u to go through IMU.

NZ international fees for medicine is currently 60k per annum and it will increase for about 2k every year (about rm 150k per year).

And bear in mind that for the first year in NZ you have to take up either health science / biomedical science as the common year, you have to score at least A- in everything and score your UMAT and then excel in the interview before you can enter medicine, which u will be called "2nd year" but it's actually ur first year in medicine. There's a total of 6 years. The competition is er, quite tough, they'll select 160 students (i think) from 2000 applicants, lol. And if u dont get in, your screwed.

And btw, you have to pay international fees unless u have a NZ PR.

And till now i see no private international msians doing medicine, mostly are MARA or JPA sponsored, in which there's a pre-arrangement between NZ and MSIA government where the scholars place are reserved as long as they get B or above in their first year, and they bypass interview and UMAT.
