USM

Few days before, I read a shock news from the newspaper. I felt ashamed on it. Why will this simple careless mistake will occur? Do they know their mistake had let so many people break the heart? What the reactions will they take? Until here, I think many people can simply guess what news is that. Yes, it is about the system error by the University of Science Malaysia.

This is the first time they use the internet to reply the application of the uni. It seems that more efficient, more convient and more high-class. However, maybe they didnt make a check, or the software problem, they send the offering letters to every applicant's mail box. At the next day, they realise the mistakes. Then, they some rejection letter to those who had been rejected.

How if you are the one who received different letters? I will felt shock and unbelievable. The next motion is go to check the calendar, confirm today not the april fool day. It seeems like a drop from the heaven to the hell. Some maybe told the whole world about the succession. However, now what news should they tell to others? About the rejection, or just wait whether have the third letter.

Many parents brought their children to the university campus to confirm the news. However, they only receive apologize from the announcement. Those other they want, how the uni settle the problems or the acuse of uni, cant get from the uni. If this happened in other countries,I sure that the person incharge will be scolded or fired. However, this is Malaysia, the person who wrong will only be offered a warning letter, or wont.

University of Science Malaysia is the third best university in our country, according to the world ranking. In addition, it was declared the Apex(Accelerated Programme for Excellence) University by the Ministry of Higher Education of Malaysia on 3 Sept 2008. This let me suspected about the quality of the university in our country. Should this mistake can be avoided, I think the answer is possibly can. However, why will it occur? Is this the improvement of the university?

Government said that those have been rejected by the USM will be selected by other 19 universities in Malaysia. However, I dont think it is good. First, there still have 60 thousand of students apply for the universities, and there only left 40 thousand place. The students rejected by USM is about 4 thousand, that means reduce the available acception until 36thousand. Is it fair for other students? Secondly, can they make sure that the university and the course choosen for them is their favour?

Every year, there are differnt problems between the university and the scholarship. However, this year, the things happen in USM is so dramastically. 2020, still left only 11 years.
