University of Malaya inside Top 200!

University of Malaya up to 180 from 200 last year! What jubilations....but wait, National University of Singapore is ranked 30 and Nanyang Technological University at 77. Good try , maybe next year we may break the under 100 barrier.

We hope the standards of our University graduates will improve in years to come but not right in the foreseeable future, what with the current entry selection criteria.

I have interviewed countless candidates for job positions in the companies I worked with and most aspiring applicants never ceased to awe me. Poor spoken English, lack of knowledge in the fields whose jobs they were looking for. About 85% of them didn't know what jobs they were applying for!( You see, nowadays ready-made resume are available and these job aspirants just didn't know which positions they were looking for when the time came for them to be interviewed...and they just don't care. When asked for the positions they were looking for, a few answered " any positions available"!

If the Government is just interested in churning out pre-packed graduates from our Universities, I say let them expire after their time out on the shelves.
