100% agree
i love history
i read history more than anything else in wikipedia though i'm a medical student

no transparency, yes, i agree, manipulation of PMS results, quite probable, but if it's about jpa pre-booking certain universities, i don't really think so.

we (i'm a jpa scholar) must rank the five countries (excluding US) following the order given by jpa, but we still can pick our preferred unis as long as we follow the order of the countries given.

let say someone is required (more precisely, forced) to place australia as the 1st country in pms ranking, he/she must fill in all 6 top choices with all the unis in australia (excluding queensland and sydney).

perhaps it's true if JPA "prefers" cheaper universities, but it's more up to how the scholars going to rank the universities. perhaps u've heard of jpa scholars dominating some universities' places, just like M2/04 taking up all 5 places of edinburgh, but i think that's more because those jpa scholars who get to go UK are really top students (at least among jpa scholars), and they have no financial constraint/worry while picking their choices.

but one thing for sure for M2/07 and ME2/08 the competition especially for places of aussie unis gonna be fierce because there are too many jpa scholars (bout 50-60). that's the reason imu requested jpa to send in scholars in 2 batches, more equally separated into m1 and m2 batches, starting from ME1/09

Added on March 27, 2009, 12:43 amwell maybe that's because majority do not know their local history in advance
history written in our textbook is indeed dull sometimes, but u'll be surprised how interesting the history of your hometown can be

haha i might not be the best person in position to answer this question as i'm just an average student (yes i'm serious), plus your syllabus is different from mine, but i'll try my best to give my advice la

i would strongly advise against spending too much time on the anatomy models, the questions they are going to ask from u about anatomy would be quite simple

a com med calculation question would be quite certain to be in the OSPE, so be sure u don't overlook the "simple" calculation formulas. also dr ranjit's favourite question would be occupational hazards.

mak's question for parasitology would always be matching 5 pictures with names/features. try to be familiar with the pictures in the book

mala maung's OLIS/SILOS (sh*t i forgot which 1, the abbreviation quite confusing) could be helpful, question can be "bulat2" from them.

be prepared that 1 pharmacology question would be asked also. that's all i can remember for now. would tell u more when i recall any other tip

well i thought the scariest thing in eos2 is SAQ
they were damn scary, i failed my SAQ

oh yea 1 virus question is probably going to be asked in osce
remember not just to remember the facts but also the virus pictures, be them from mms slides or lecture notes
do feel free to ask any question anytime, i'll try my best to answer as long as i'm capable to

masterbate room??? do u really mean "masturbate"?? or master bed?
haha just joking ya

we even have some professors and lecturers from myanmar here
u're doing pms rite?

haha it's ok with the accent at least i can understand them

ya still chinese is the majority here, the malays here are mostly jpa/mara scholars

many kl chinese speaks cantonese
but most malaysian chinese know how to speak mandarin (if they know chinese la)
but then chinese imu students, especially medical students usually speak english and mandarin

sadly that's the case in almost every college and university in malaysia
