So just because other people on the other side are also doing it, does it make it right? Your friends may end up as Dr Death: does it give you an excuse to be one also?

SAM90Gil, it is good that you recognise your weakness. If I were you, I would ask your father/parents one simple question: would they want to be treated by a Russian/Indonesian/Indian trained doctors? If they don't mind, then go to Mahsa and come out to be their personal doctor. If they do mind, tell them that is the kind of doctor you will end up if you go to Mahsa.

Say no. Simply tell them that you are not smart enough, and a TER of 80 is at the bottom where medical school entry is considered.

I'm not sure with a TER of 80, but there are other ways of entering the medical world. Nurses, pharmacists, radiologists etc. We need them.

FYI..
all med students no matter they grad from what U..local or abroad..sponsored or pama..loan.whatever u want to name it..please dont..dont be biased.
grow up dude. dont simply judge someone.
c first what they r capable with..then only u can say anything what u want to say.
i did meet with one doc.,,he graduated from ireland..mara scholar..n he told me.
ANYONE can take medicine..no matter what is ur grade in spm BUT..u must have the passion to work hard, never give up, n know ur ability..study is all about thinking smart, turn the hardest task into the simplest one...
n as for those who graduated from certain countries which some of us still have the " sinikal " thinking bout them, feel curious whether they r true doc or not.....oh please..just stop it.
most of the veteran doc in msia grad from india..some did master / phd in india, indonesia...so if u're saying that..those who grad from these place r no good at all..then y ppl still choose to go there..??
