Hmm, the younger ones, yes. They even look down on people grad from overseas (UK, US, AUS), as they think entering UM or UKM is harder than entering oversea medical schools.
BTW, we already have one in our forum

hehe,,i guess i -know- to- whom -u're referring it to..well i dont wanna b specify to one person only..but that's how they 're thinking..they will think that way so that they feel more " secure"..more " relief"..and telling themselves " i am better than u , i know better than u , we r more expert than u guys . most of the cases that we learn n being exposed are relates with the reality in msia, so when dealing with patients, we will do much2 better than u guys even though u graduated from abroad..get what i mean?
honestly..this kind of attitude happens , personally..it is all about jealousy..come on..if u're given a chance to study abroad, will u reject the offeR?

...i dont think so..jealousy is worsen when they know that some of the med students r able to study medicine ( the fees r higher compares with other courses) plus going sponsored by their parents while some of these " guys" also study med, but only enter local U. n rely on scholarship or loan, that's y,,they will keep saying..if u wanna do medicine, u must be the top scorer..bla n bla n bla....coz the system itself requires us to compete n be the best among the best..
i'm not trying to insult anyone. sorry if the above statement bother u..but that's the reality n it happens most of the time..ppl change..so do their living quality..nowadays, most of the parents , i dont know y,,but really like to c their children becoming a doctor..n they know , it is difficult to enter local U due to limited places, n the competition r very tough..so y not..use their own money..soon, they will choose ipts..or abroad..n they dont give a damn bout what others will say..coz hey..it is my money..y do u care so much?
that's y..in m'sia , some of the bussnssman c it as a potential for making money..then u will c a lot of agency, advertising bout helping those private students to study abroad coz they know..their clients will keep increasing from year to years.. then it goes..too many med college/ u ..bla n bla..then it comes the politic games..
yes...msian ppl r rich..
u want to fix this thing? go ahead..start planning to become the next minister of education.
but if u think u can fix this thing by nagging bout this n that..mention bout double standard.. keep trying to win the situation..seeing other ppl as a bad shape..but hey..i'm not..coz i came from a prestigious U..wanna c my academic slip??..duh~~..
just my 2 cents..
