Yes, they will want your secondary one. The school that you completed your spm.

can i know...everyone(chinese) in UTAR all talk mandarin??

=.=""""""" ... i din noe dat de one dey wan is de secondary school one..now hv 2 resend dem de certified copy again .... argh .... leceh la ..... n i nid to go back my secondary school 2 certify de cert oso ......haizzz ..

NO. dont worry bout that, if non chinese can fit in, why cant a chinese who doesnt speak mandarin?

Anyway, good chance to learn.

For Kampar campus, I would say:

- Among lecturers: 99% English, 1% etc.
- Between lectures and students: 95% English, 5% etc.
- Among students: 50% English, 20% Cantonese, 20% Mandarin and 10% etc.

Merely for reference purpose, based on my observation.

can i ask ketua kampung or wakil rakyat 2 certify my school leaving cert 4 me? is dat acceptable?

Ooo I don't think I will be speaking any mandarin there. When I reach there, I guess I will learn it among them. Haha.
I think you have to ask the utar people. You can write an inquiry or call them. I think actually you can get the wakil kampung to sign for you but I'm not sure. Hope that help.

Thanks so much!

Oh, I think about the certification, I heard from someone that as long as it is a "grade A" officer, he/she can certify things. I have no idea what a grade A officer is, but I got my own dad to certify some of my certs before (since he had the certifying chop) and I don't think they noticed it. As long as it is certified I don't think there will be a problem. That is only my opinion, mind you.

And I thought I was the only "chinese" who don't speak mandarin going to Kampar. Haha. Ada kawan la this.

Haha ada kawan2 di sini. But we will learn that language as well. Miss Terious, which language are you going to take for your language elective? Jap, Tamil, Thai or French?

I hope I'd get to pick up Mandarin and I really cross my fingers and hope that I won't fail that class.

I'm hoping to take Japanese or French. I'm particularly interested in French, but I was told that they have these weird way of classifying things. Like a chair is female and a table is female too (I forgot female or male already). Aiyoh. Make life hard la.

I'm not good in Mandarin too..anyway,one of my friend said that we can choose any language class for our language elective?Advised me to get Mandarin class as the class is easier...

language elective?? wats dat? sumbody mind 2 tell me? sounds interesting ..
yest i got acknowledgement card frm utar asking me 2 send dem certified school leaving cert bt 2day i received de offer letter frm dem,so do i stil nid 2 send dem my certified school leaving cert?? very confusing..

my personal opinion, they dont really care. but again, its only my opinion. the grade A officer certification is important only if you're applying for govt stuff i guess. so far, utar doesnt place an importance on that.

the new course sylabus has a elective subject where you get to choose a language.

The language is just introduction. Maybe we will learn the basic only though I wonder why mandarin was not there.

I guess because very little people will choose Mandarin if it is there, learning from the student community will do.
I got a friend was banana but after staying 2 years in TARC now he talk Chinese fluently, just have some difficulties in reading though.

do i still nid 2 send dem de certified school leaving cert since i ady got their offer letter?

most of the student speaks mandarin. some speak cantonese, english and hokkien.

btw where can i access the syllabus? intranet or wble? can find it on intranet

So far I haven't seen anyone speaking hokkien here.

You can find it at your faculty webpage.
