Modification To My Story

Eh eh Sue ... haha... it sounded like you ? Nah ... I changed your perspective as far as I know . I am succcessful in saving a fellow Malaysian to love Malaysia again . You have been saved by me .

Haha . Remember you told me about your pals in IMU who only think of working overseas and they dislike Malaysia ? Well , the story I told was mainly for people like that . Though definitely there are more people who think like that in other Private Colleges and Public Universities .

Hmm . Anyway , even if Ah Kau gets super good results , JPA do not look only at results . If he is a mere bookworm and someone else play good basketball for his State with an equivalent results , then of course the basketball guy will get .

Even if Ah Kau gets super good results , but if in the interview where we have a topic to discuss , in which he failed to provide substantial arguments that are deemed mature and intelligent , then again ... does Ah Kau deserve it ?

Even if Ah Kau gets good results and spoke well in the interview of his session , and if there were other people with slightly less A's ( still meet the minimum requirement ) in his session but spoke way much better than Ah Kau , don't you think that will capture the eyes and attention of the Officer ?

As long as there is a certain standard of results on the paper , it all goes down to how you dress , sit , talk and carry yourself on that day .

Haha .

Anyway , this does not necessarily mean JPA rejects are fighting against the country .

I certainly agree that even those who did not think about applying JPA are already preparing to live overseas and serve the Mat Sallehs with their expertise .

And these are the people who will again spend their leisure time by critisizing Malaysian systems . I can imagine them shaking their heads reading the news on Malaysian problems and say "What a country !"

Again , I say to you . What a disgraceful life you lived !

different ppl choose to live different lifes due to different reasons! I dont think you should decide what is right or wrong for them! If you like to go back, go la..dont insult others who dont follow! Some stay to gain experience, that does not mean they will not go back at all. In fact gaining experience before going back is probably a good thing for the country also!
That said, I would be going home when I am done..not to serve the country, but for my family!

greetings..i find this post particularly interesting..as much a patriotic enthusiast i am and my everpresent notions to go back and serve the nation, i cannot help but agree with lydia here..

i had always wondered how could people be so ungrateful and neglect their responsibilities in serving a nation that basically brought them up..but i have come to realise there are many a reasons that push people away from this..it is unjust to make rather generalised comments and judge them without hearing them out first..this could easily stem from family issues or a bad past and can have nothing to do with the country itself..

about your theory with the scholarship screening, i cannot concur with your reasonings..i have known of people who had performed excellently in the standardised exams, had a good portfolio to back them up and were eloquent speakers who easily carried themselves with oomph..yet they had lost the opportunity to less deserving people for starkingly obvious reasons..besides, academic standings aren't a true judge of a person's intelligence..

ok, i think i've said too much..i too will head back to msia and work for the gov, partly because i have no choice and am bound by a contract..but with this, i have no qualms for without this financial aid, never would i have been able to realise my dream!
