Useless faculty part I

I am officially declaring, I HATE my faculty...
For those who doesn't know, I am the alumni of School of Medicine, Universiti Malaysia Sabah.
When i first joined the school 5 years ago, the administration was bad. But it was forgivable, for our school is relatively new (I was the second batch of guinea pigs~). Students were the victims of the disorganized staff.

5 years. And everything is still the same.

An infant become a toddler in 5 years.
A teenager become an adult in 5 years.
A med student become a doctor in 5 years.
5 years, a VERY long time for a person to learn, to change, to correct their mistakes.

But unfortunately, our faculty staff are forever trapped in the past. They never learn.
5 years ago we had a problem with our loan (PTPTN) because the faculty did not send our results to the university administration. The reason was that our system is different and we do not have 2 semesters per year like the other students.

We repeatedly complain to the staff 'abang, kami ni ambil PTPTN, kena hantar result setiap semester. Kalau tidak hantar nanti kami tak dapat loan untuk tahun seterusnya... Setiap semester pun mesti hantar ya...'

'Ya ya ya' is the usual reply. Or, better still 'Sorry la dik problem ni bukan saya punya cawangan, kamu kena pergi tanya siapa-siapa yang in charge tu. Tapi saya pun tidak tau siapa orang tu'. WTH. There were only less than 200 students, with a total number of 10 staff. 10 staff and you can't remember their departments?

Well, the story does not end here.
Because for the next 5 years that i was in the university, we had to face the EXACT same problem EVERY SINGLE YEAR. I simply can't understand their way of working. The person in charge has not been changed, the system is still the same, the complaints are the same. So why in the world can't they learn???????????

Even the lady working in PTPTN was pissed off. She too was fed up with our constant problems.

When i finally left the faculty one month ago, i was just soooooooo relieved. For I thought I am finally free of the problems caused by their laziness or whatever it is. But I was wrong.

Well, the story is that I am eligible for a scholarship from PTPTN because my result is in the category of first class honors. But as a medical student, our results are not categorized. For us there is only 'pass' or 'fail'. In order for me to obtain the scholarship, the faculty has to send a letter to PTPTN for me, stating that my result is equivalent to first class honors, simple as that.

One month ago one of my other friend told me to phone a certain staff as she already told the staff (let's say....Miss S) about it and the Miss S promised to send for us. So when I called Miss S she was like 'Ha? Tak ada la dik... Itu masalah saya tak pernah dengar pun...baik kamu tanya balik Mr L'. But when we asked Mr L he said Miss S is in charged!

I was filled with anger and frustration that time. This is a $$ business and they better don't fool around with it. I decided then that I will go personally to the faculty and demand for the letter and SEND IT MYSELF. This is a 35 thousand ringgit scholarship and I am not gonna let them ruin it for me... The staff just cannot be trusted with important things... And I really can't understand it... Can you??



When will they learn?
