MMU is now desperado

Back in early times, students need to register earlier and they need to go through a filtering process. In my opinion, that creates a sense of standard towards the university.
Other the other hand, now, almost everyone that registers will be accepted by the university. Worst still when the students can register on the spot during registration day. What does these shows? Not desperate?
On top of that, Head of Operations, Mr.Sentil says that October and January intake is open to cater demands from the public. The demands he mean only satisfies around 50-150 per intake. In example, last two years October intake, less than 50 students turn up for both degree/diploma and foundation level. Last year, there was a slight increase in October intake. But the slight increase does not make much different.
What the university really needs to do is to centralize the operations division and faculties. When the marketers say MMU offers a course, make sure they really do. Commonly, the information travels differs between the marketers and faculty.
Why on earth MMU need so many intakes where there is only small number of students coming in. What if only 10 people applied and the 10 people come from different faculties? Means, the faculty will need to offer a subject just to cater the few people? Such waste on resources! And the faculty will be the one planning a new course structure just to cater the small number of students.
Recommendation: take away the October intake for local students but only allocate January and June intake. Operations are wasting time by putting their resources just to cater this small demand. At the end, the university will lose more in the long run.

Demand Truth and Money!

Previously, there was a company called by the name IDDS. This company was designed to help students as in protecting them, giving shuttle service and accomodation.

This sounded like an ideal service provided by an outsourced company. But what went wrong?
Mr. Kesavan (Head of OSH) then have shares in the company. Because of this, he used his wife, Madam Nalini (Head of ABLP) to promote IDDS.

Madam Nalini then used her power to get JPA scholar students into IDDS program. She told that this service is together with MMU. Having the students stranded, the students have no choice but to take it.

Now, until today. Students who are JPA scholar still have not get back their money. How much? RM750! Though RM750 might not sound much to our Datin in Human Resources, but it is a lot for students! Parents have to pay for this and they have not gotten their refund. Until today!

Hence, I would like to ask the students who falls under this circumstances to post your details i.e name, ID, Hp number (if can - but it will be made public).
Please come forth and let the university be the person who see this.

And the reader to judge whether this is morally right or wrong. To the people mentioned, BE RESPONSIBLE!

Treat students like adults

Many students tend to say that the security officer and staffs does not treat students as adult. The question is, do you act as an adult. You may think that you are a customer and you should be getting the service that you want. Fine by me.

However, the simple ideology in handling humans.. Before you wish others to respect you, you first need to respect others.

Hence, scolding the guards saying "Do you know I pay your salary" makes you think you are an adult?
Parking along Jalan Ayer Keroh Lama (In front of EP) makes you think you are an adult?
Vandalism i.e. playing with the fire extinguisher makes you feel like and adult?
Wearing slippers and shorts as well?

Teat others how you want to be treated..

Students as well complaint that the guards give them a very "horny" look when they dress sexy. The students who complaint this the most comes from the Law School (though you do not have your own building). First, I think to myself why on earth will the student complaint when she is the one asking for it.

Since most of them are law student. Let's talk in a language law students can understand. Here is the senario:

When you enter a shop and purchase something, the price given is an invitation. And the person who purchase the product would be the offer. The person at the cashier who accepts the money would be the receiver. Clear?

Ok, so, back to the senario. If a girl were to wear sexily, its and invitation to treat. Is it not?
And can also be categorized as an offerer. While the person who looks at you, are the accept-er as you have offered.

In short, when you dress in such a way, do not complaint that there are people looking at you.

PS: You should be angry when you dress sexy and no one looks at you. Looking at you means admiring you.

MMU's Culture is dying

Compare MMU's events for the past few years, events now are decline. More lame events and unmet event objective has been carried out.

Is it because of:

a) Facebook?
b) Packed classes?
c) Do no care?

MMU's graduate is famous in the industry as they are creative, responsible and quick. But what I can observe, this strength might not stay for long. Students are getting more self centered and does not participate in events. One of the reasons could be the stressful academic schedule and results of the senate's brilliant idea by having 21 credit hours in the long trimester.

But I would like to convery this message to all students. No matter how and what you think of students activities, you should be part of it.

Why?
Students activities i.e. clubs and societies allows you to make mistakes and learn from it. By the time you make mistakes in the industry, you will be fired. So, get of the computer, do not give excuses and participate. Students tend to give many excuses i.e. "I have exam tomorrow", "I have important class", "I have assignment to complete".

All this reason, I have been hearing it since day 1 I am in MMU. What is the problem? Its you yourself! You have problem managing your time. Why you have to do things last mninute. Students even tend to pay fees last minute. i.e. a student have exam on Monday 9am and have finally decided to pay the fees. The student decided to pay on Sunday (1 day before exam). If I were you, I would have stay at home and repeat all the subjects.

Please do not be a last minute person. Exam is coming and please print your exam slip much earlier.
