I doubt that. public universities in malaysia are most selective, means the crappy students won't get in even though they are rich and have loads of money, unlike private universities in malaysia where most you can get in if you have money no matter how bad or good you are because that is one of the purpose of their existence, which is for people in malaysia to get education when they can't enter public unis nor go overseas. I'm not saying Monash is bad, just that Monash Uni in australia is considered as a public university, and it is a very reputable public university in aus, which is i think should be quite selective and not based on getting profit. But in Malaysia Monash is considered as a private university as it doesn't run with the government of Malaysia, and for a Private University to run, especially because it needs money and Monash Malaysia is still new so it needs to survive, means the crappy students with crappy marks that are rich also can get in, so you can imagine what kind of people is inside there. That's why I do doubt the quality of students there. If you're saying they are better than other PRIVATE colleges in malaysia, then you're probably right, but then still, private universities is about who has the money to go in, not really marks, cuz marks as long as you meet minimum requirements 2.0-2.5 and you have loads of money you can get in already, and that's quite low, that won't happen at public universities though, 2.0-2.5 cgpa don't guarantee you an admission at reputable public universities in Malaysia. The only difference is that public universities in malaysia have excellent students from different social classes, so you have the kampung girl who got straight As, a guy from rempit family who turned smart and got a scholarship, some chinese pasar malam tauke's son who managed to score himself in, some indian farmer's son who studied hard to get in...means you'll see different types of social behavior and attitude that probably makes you go "Eww..." and think the quality of students there are low standard, but think about it, smart people don't always come from rich families and those people are not as lucky as everyone else.  The standard of students at Monash Malaysia will never be as good as any high-ranking public universities in Malaysia until Monash Msia become really selective in their admission and don't let people below 3.0 cgpa to get in easily, which is never gonna happen, in current time because Monash Msia seriously do not have the application essay requirement like US universities to see how smart these 2.0-2.5 cgpa or below 3.0cgpa students really are and the university still needs to survive its early years here in Malaysia.

Btw, No ice hockey club? lol. Monash sunway is near sunway pyramid and they have an ice hockey club there where they train and play at pyramid ice rink. Would be cool if Monash can have one since Australia is an ang moh country and ang moh country usually got ice hockey lolz.
