KSA is near to Petaling Street. You can't expect good study environment if you prefer study in any KL college.

KSA just like SPM tuition centre. They only provide limited study environment like small library. Some paper like Philip Woo F8 & P1, they try to accept more than 250 students in one class.

Lecturer hours - All KSA lecturers are more on part time basis, so normally every week got 3 hours class, but some time in weekend will got 6 hours extra class.

KSA got prize winner but not so much as compare to Sunway.

Ha Ha, talk so much bad thing about KSA, I think you already worried lo. Now turn to advantage la. Eventhough KSA fail to provide good study environment, but the main advantage is CHEAP TUITION FEES WITH STRONG TEAM OF QUALITY LECTURER.

For me, I'm a part time student for all 14 ACCA papers, so good study environemt or college life won't be so important la. So I more put priority to experience lecturer. Experience lecturer can't gurantee student become prize winner, but can help you to turn your weekness to strength. With experience lecturer, we will the examiner requirement and good exam technique to earn each marks.

For study materials, KSA normally give FTC manual + lectuer notes + past year Q & A.

Regarding Prize winner, I don't think it is so important. Please remember good student go to where also can study.

Familiar with KSA or not? Ha Ha, don't worry la bcos KSA or other KL college also in town. You can take LRT without any traffic jam when go to class.

Ha Ha, that's no perfect in all college, so depend on what you want la!

Thanks for the info. In a small town here, a class with 60 students is already considered SO SO HUGE!! Let's not talk about 250, our eyes will pop out!

Man, sucks living in ulu East Msia! So far away from everything, not happening and go everywhere needs air ticket!

You will feeling difference if study in KL town. Don't worry, all KL college oso in town. You can take LRT go for class, very easy.

Finding a long lasting friendship will always become an issue studying in KL. Its almost impossible to study under a same lecturer, same centre, same paper for every session. Some students are already working (most are at advance level) & held from different states.

thanks for all the info. will consider whether to come over next year

I'm not familiar with PJ area but if you're talking about KL area, the colleges are accessible by LRT as mentioned by Carlosandy. As long as you stay somewhere near the LRT station, you shouldn't have any problem accessing either colleges.

Actually there is a solution, you use rapidshare remote upload feature to upload the PDF file, then download using RS super fast server.

If you post the link here I'll help you

Added on August 13, 2009, 6:00 pmlaw and tax paper have malaysia variant... can i know if the colleges here offering malaysia variant or international variant? which variant should be recommended?

Normally majority of college in Msia only offer malaysia variant for law and tax paper. FYI, I'm not sure about law, but there is NO international variant for tax paper in ACCA exam.

For tax & law you should study for variant in which country you will practice. No point learning UK stuff but can never apply in MYS & vice-versa.
I dont think there will be anyone teaching UK variant in MYS. However when comes to stream, its always better to opt for International stream bcos irregradless of which stream you choose, it will end up being marked by a UK marker.

Can anyone help me with this question? I have discussed with my friend about this but we couldn't come to a conclusion.

Peter was given a loan of RM500k by ABC to finance his expenses. The loan was taken by ABC from Hong Leong Bank where interest of RM60k. Peter needs to pay half of the interest cost. Peter used RM300k to finance acquisition of his house, which is the second house acquired during this year. He used RM160k to purchase a car. The balance of the cash is used to finance his overseas holiday. How much is the taxable benefits for Peter?

I cannot determine how much is the aggregate loan balance and the principal amount. Help please!!!

Added on August 15, 2009, 3:39 pmGuys, I also want to ask.

As for OBU, when I logged in into myACCA, it states that I am not enrolled into OBU but I have already indicated that I want to enroll into OBU since my CAT days.

I am currently doing F7 8 9, and my results for F4 5 6 will be out this coming Monday, by when should I enroll for OBU ?

Wait until you get results for all fundamental papers first.
Then average the 6 paper marks.
If you are within range of 2nd upper or first class then consider.

So right now I don't bother about anything first?

Btw, is there any possibility that one can miss the chance to do OBU ?

Thanks
