QUOTE(sacai_nownet @ Apr 17 2009, 07:57 PM) someone please tells me how to arrange this: better call them to confirm this. because during my tym, if i'm not mistaken, we bank in the money. then the slip(as a proof) we sent to them(or bring during interview. dun remember. # # RM10 in the form of Money Order or Postal Order payable to Malaysian Maritime Academy Sdn. Bhd. Cash is not accepted. ALAM wants a check that worth RM 10 ? ). juz call theem for clarification about it.This post has been edited by destroyer: Apr 17 2009, 08:04 PM |

QUOTE(hakunamatata @ Apr 17 2009, 09:10 PM) Just curious.. if your parent or close relative(sibling, grandpa, grandma) pass away or in serious sickness, company will ask whether you want to go home or not. if you want to go home they'll send you back. all transportation cost are beared by company.Lets say if a seafarer's relatives/parents pass away and he is a million miles away.. how? let say if you're 2days away from next port, you'll have to wait until you reach the port before agent pick u up and send you to airport. but if you're in the middle of ocean, they might sent helicopter to take you back home. correct me if i'm wrong, since this is what told to me by my senior and lecturer. |

QUOTE(bigguy @ Apr 17 2009, 10:45 PM) you are telling us so much that makes me feels so 'rugi' to not getting in the ALAM.huhu but like all job, not all people find this career rewarding.let me tell you something. during ur study in ALAM and cadetship onboard, the truth is, you'll fell like you want to quit and regret taking it. but, you need to resist it. later on when you're working, all that pain will go away when you insert ur card into the ATM machine. this is one of the job where you can experience all four season in different country. |

QUOTE(apsidewatch @ Apr 17 2009, 11:28 PM) i like the ATM part, haha. that's the reward you get by being as a seafarer. haha. .my father once studied at ALAM.started by sailing tow-boat,his salary is 17k/month after deducted by kwsp,house payment.*they provide 1storey bungalow* and so2 other n added car,house allowance and east coast allowance.  .QUOTE(Jaroque @ Apr 17 2009, 11:31 PM) I applied for NAUTICAL STUDIES..... can la... no prob. about the eyesight, because you applied for nautical science, during interview, tell them that you want to change into engineering. wearing spectacle is one of strong reason for u to change course. but i'll depends on your sponsor. but if you tell them during interview, i think it is ok. but you'll have to struggle in engineering since you said that you are not science student .But i have 2 major problems......... 1st. I am not science student...though i got 8A's...most of my subjects is N/A in the form.... so its like 4A1's 4 N/A 2nd. I am wearing specs... SUre fail...good luck to everyone else out there...god bless Btw, are candidates from Sabah May receive interview at a later time?  just hoping...some of my batchmate even do lasik surgery just to get this application. QUOTE(anep @ Apr 17 2009, 11:37 PM) now 23.. now have my dip.. currently B.sc in final year you're doing what courses? you can apply for MISC management trainee program. but it is shore job. the pay might be slightly higher than job that require degree out there.QUOTE(sacai_nownet @ Apr 17 2009, 11:59 PM) let's revise add math ...prepare for the written test now. prepare now! don't regret later. QUOTE(anep @ Apr 18 2009, 01:10 AM) but i weak at math during secondary school.. mayb that's y i dont apply that's not a reason. you should just try. |

QUOTE(drake88 @ Apr 20 2009, 03:30 PM) now only i know why in ALAM their so many bullshiter .. even in forum also ..Where u heard from about Mr. Shamsul Rizal? haha. who's bullshitting here? let me tell you something. you're deck guys while we're engine. we're different. I would like to say management in terengganu is far more better than melaka. some of the fact that given by destoryer no doubt is correct but some of them is just assumption or false information. about the 7000 thingy, laz year, 7000 people APPLY for it. and only some come for interview. i'm don't want to tarnish image of seafarer here. but let me tell you guys something. deck people and engine people don't get along too much. it's true. both work in a different environment. both don't know each other work. deck is more to mentally tired while engine is both mentally and physically tired. in engine room, we work in a temperature ranging from 45~50 celcius. the management in terengganu is better for me becoz all the money sent here was used for good reason. new galley tender, air conditioned classroom(melaka dun have this). @drake88 susah2 dahulu. senang2 kemudian. everything want to complain susah la. kat terengganu ni peruntukan masuk takde la sebanyak melaka. tp management kt sini mmg ok. lecturer sndiri handle management. diorang mmg pkir pasal student. mintak kat melaka mesin lathe machine dah berkurun pn masih 6 biji. bas pn pakai bas lama. yang bullshit tu melaka je. |

QUOTE(drake88 @ Apr 23 2009, 06:26 PM) i would like to revise the things i say .. about the En.shamsul rizal .. yes he is here .. but i dun know his attitude nope. it is alam building. the class is alam building. and not instep. we just share campus area. but we use our own facilities. classroom is our own building. and the aircon is our own. we only share instep facilities which is the field.but for the engine and deck doesnt get along issue.. most of them is true .. u know why? because ppl like u always make a big fuss about engine and deck .. but u know what engine and deck sail on the same ship. im not here to brag about anything.. but have u taste sea water? you everyday looking at the sea .. do u know what is out there? About the tengganu and melaka .. do u know tengganu campus is not even own by ALAM .. it is combine with another institute that is belong to petronas ? ALAM rent it .. so dont be proud of air-con in the class .. yea i admit melaka management is bad .. with the stupid bus and galley tender .. but u guys report to the same HSA as we does. ALAM is not as 'beautiful' as u think about deck and engine working hours .. when u go onboard .. den u will know which department work longer hour .. just a piece of advice ,experience it only u share or maybe share base on real information given by your senior.. your batch here is doing all kind of nonsense and when they go onboard they will have hard time. Any story from engine side? for melaka campus they dont have sense of respect to senior and lecturer .. stupid bus? you should be thankful. the bus alam trengganu use is the 1st bus that alam received. very2 old bus. we have request from melaka campus for new bus. until now, melaka just silent about it. we request for new lathe machine, but still no news about it. the lecturer is the one who repair it. we are also lack of lecturer here. |

QUOTE(h3lmi @ May 2 2009, 09:15 PM) ALAM's 100th convo. actually, it is because not the number of dns are small."...Mengikut pecahan, seramai 106 menerima Diploma Kejuruteraan Marin dan bakinya, Diploma Pengajian Nautika ..." (125 graduan) 106 received DME, the rest got DNS. So, from the numbers, only NINETEEN (19) got DNS.. huhu.. because during graduate, for engineering cadet, there are two batch graduating at that time. EC 21, ECH 05 and EC 22. for DNS cadet, there are only one batch which is DNS 08. for ur guys info, previously, for engineering the course is 3.5 years long. but starting for last 3 years, they change it to 3years course. for DNS, it is 3 years course. so, DNS 08 is the same batch with EC 22. there are only small number in this 2 batch. less than 30 for each batch. but for EC 21, they are the same batch with DNS 07. but DNS 07 already graduated earlier because they are 3 years program. in EC 21, there are around 90++ student. DNS is more popular than DME. this is because in my batch, there are 250++ for DNS and 220++ for DME. |

QUOTE(h3lmi @ May 3 2009, 06:14 PM) thanks. btw, does ALAM allowed their students to use internet for things not related with their studies, like using yahoo or facebook? yep. but for that case, you'll have to bring ur own broadband.if you're in malacca, you'll be dissapointed for buying a broadband since no 3G line. the resource centre also slow. but if you're in terengganu, you'll get 3G connection. and you can also online at cyber cafe here. |
