After failing his degree 18 times, law student Muhammad Rafiq Izzat Zaidi, the self-described slow learner revealed that it would take him three attempts to pass one subject at university.

“But the more I failed, the longer a subject would stick in my head even though it took me 11 semesters.

“I failed as many as 18 times when I completed my studies,” he confessed on a now-viral tweet.

The 25-year-old said he took up a Bachelor of Law degree at Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) at Shah Alam, Selangor in 2013.

Rafiq explained that he was not diagnosed as a slow learner but instead had difficulties adjusting to new learning environments and it would take him a long time to understand a subject.

“In my first semester, I failed four subjects,” he told mStar.

Rafiq also revealed he was almost expelled for failing a subject three times but was grateful he was given a second chance after an appeal.

Bravo, our local talented graduates

SELOWWWW

Uitm da best 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

wonder how much is his IQ

why can fail 18 times?

if other Uni, how many time would it be ?

Houseman fail Tiga kali pon force pass...

Standard guardians galaxy unlocked....

Fail 3 Kali massive de force

wasnt there an entry requirement to begin with? how did he slip thru the crack?

He shouldn't have bothered.

Once anybody finds out about his background, no one will want to hire him to represent them.

You want someone to win the case for you in 1 try. Or at least succeed to the ensuing appeal.

You don't have the luxury to lose so many times with a client. Who wants to be represented by a slow learner anyway? Lawyers have to quick on the uptake. Supposed to yell objection but didn't cos still processing? Habis...

It's uitm

fries to go with that, sir?

Did he get pass the bar exam yet? If not then his chances of becoming a lawyer is highly improbable. But then again, who would want to hire him

U ask bani prime how he passed medical skool

Rubber stamp uni just go mainstream.

In good quality unis, you failed 3 times, you go, man.

Only in uitm.

Thats a world record we should be proud of

bot broken again

so slow

I think Tunku Abdul Rahman failed a lot of times as well.

selowwwwwwpuki

would u dare instruct a loyar with dis kinda record?

Yes I would get an influencer to hire him as the opposing council solicitor...

Everyone has a purpose

okay... now can go sell ramli

U must be knew. Topkek

only in malaysia...dont know should have give him credit for never give up or is this something that we should be proud off. Well anyway good luck to his client

bolela… deskjob..

Ouch! Truth hurt.

Lamtin should have tutored him, I think can do it with fewer tries.

It does not matter whether he attempts 18x or two times to pass, in the end : people will only question him whether he is a licensed lawyer.

The downside : he will struggle to be a high performing lawyer but should be able to carry out the normal duties based on his studies.

Anyway : good job for passing the exam.
Low IQ people can achieve the same level with a high IQ person with hardwork and persistence in a socially mobile society.

Don't know

his client base should be those #BMF people

Congratulations to this new graduate.

Now your next challenge is to find a job.

Yeah. But imagine that kind of persistence at the enforcers side. You lawyers will cirit soon.

Even in private uni,they do that.I know Sunway do that.

Uitm .. failed 18 times.

Hopefully he will be najib's lawyer

Why uitm still let him continue despite fail so many times? I thought most real uni got limit of at most 2 resits?

May this determined chap get a job with UMNO or Utusan

Cam muka dia


Potensi kalah kes mahkamah

Tongkat all d way

Now everyone can becum loryah


Owai

Respect his determination

Loyar buruk

I dunno how this is newsworthy

If one has the money to study a degree 18 fckin times surely he can’t be poor

Reminds me of those lazy ass matriculation students in my engineering course who took aeons to graduate.

In my 1st year When I first met him in a class I thought he was the lecturer, he told me he was here before me for 2 semesters liao

And when I graduate from my uni after 4 yrs( 8 semesters), that mofo is still there studying the subjects from my 2nd year.

No prize for guessing what race it is. It would be more newsworthy if they share an article about the graduation of a wheelchair bound or visually impaired student in a law school...

BMF. .... Owai

truly kipidap n dongidap !

I doubt it. Persistence is not an uncommon trait among lawyers.

Its like this - I can play the piano, but only cos of persistent practice. Something I realized quite quickly was that I have no actual talent for it. Regardless, I kept it up anyway and am able to pass exams and play competently. But no matter how much I practice, I'll never actually be as good as someone with actual talent and isn't a lazy bum as to not practice at all. I will never be a Yiruma. Heck, I will never qualify to perform for money in any sense. I know my limitations, and I was not even a 'slow learner' on the piano as in I didn't fail multiple piano exams when I was younger. But this is all OK. I play the piano for personal enjoyment. I don't make a career out of it.

Well this guy is trying to make a career out of something he doesn't appear to be good at, and is just persistent at. Good luck to him I guess, but until he actually proves himself, I will be remember his name as a lawyer to avoid and will never even give a chance to. Is the bias unfair? I don't think so...I have to pay good money for a lawyer so I have expectations and I don't think he will be able to meet them.

Its not like anyone would pay to hear me play the piano, why would I pay to hire him as a lawyer?

You tell me a doctor has failed multiple times before passing his exams, I am also not inclined to give them a chance. WTF? Its my life you're talking about.

can work at gov’t jadi pembantu tadbir or something

depends on how the individual develop himself later

btw PKR MP Baru Bian / Works Minister n ncr native rights lawyer also ITM law graduate

throughout his career handling hundreds of land cases against plantation cronies in Sarawak

Not everyone need to be Karpal or Shafie. There a whole loads of sections that nade up a law teams. Also chill out and get a life dude. Not nice to the body when it's full of negativity.

This loyar can pakai or not. One chance sahaja trial. Not 18 times.

I don't want to go to jail 18 times x 2 years then only win. If sentenced 4 years each case, never mind lah go 14th floor ASAP.

Since when meritocracy is required .......
No wonder manyak jobless la, who dares to hire such grad.....it's like would you hand your life to a surgeon was passed after several attempts 😅

Yeah. My snp lawyer can’t even get the unit number i purchased right, but such error is not disastrous as doctor cut the wrong thing or engineer miscalculate a beam/column.

maybe you are not cut for it

Did he fail 18 times before passing?

Its being realistic dude. Actual work isn't like studying. You don't get to fail multiple times. Fail even once and you lose a client or a job.

When getting client

Client: what's your track record
Lawyer: you can be assured that the probability for a verdict render against you is pretty high.
