STPM results come out in April, Med school in Australia starts in Feb, that's almost 8 months to get some work and earn some money in Malaysia (pathetic as it is) before a chance to go and study in Australia.

3A's would probably give you a shot at the 2nd tier public medical schools (I know someone with 3A's in STPM doing UMS' MD), which is essentially a scholarship (where else can you get a medical degree for ~RM1300 a semester/RM20,000 all in) anyway!

Yet somehow, I know, somewhere out there, there is a parent/agent/relative/con-man who will use that article to fleece entice people to enter AIMST because "even WHO recognises it".

Yes, it took the WHO 9 years to acknowledge the existence of AIMST as a medical school.

Ignorance is bliss indeed.



Like they couldn't previously? Very nicely done Bernama.

At the time of the announcement of the freeze, there were about 5 pending medical school licences. Expect to see another 4 of them in the next 8-12 months.

Don't be so quick to judge when you have a plank jutting out of your eye.

Were you just born yesterday?

No Malaysian government, regardless of which side of the political fence they stand, will deregister any medical school currently on the Second Schedule of the Medical Act.

They did that with one medical school in 2005, and the wailing, and gnashing of teeth became a political liability. It was one of the factors which led to the downfall of MIC in March 2008.

It is simple as that. Not when so many voters have children in these fleabag places.

I find it VERY disturbing that people who can't understand the simple idea of a 5 year freeze on the establishment of new medical schools wanting to be a medical student.

Its not rocket science, and the media coverage on it has been quite clear. Yet the number of posts by people who go "what does 5 years medical course freeze means" in this subforum makes me worry how low can we go.

That's a really odd question for this thread, but the short answer is: no.

The only right Malaysian PR's have is not to be detained by RELA during immigration raids.

There is.

We have been through this:

I dunno, isnt it supposed to look like something is being done to address this "issue"?

The freeze is there. All these new medical schools were granted licenses BEFORE the freeze.
