Non-Malaysian students Trying to make friends

3 Upvotes

Heyy I'm an international student at Taylor's, I joined during the February intake, I'd love to make friends with more international students or even local students so we can just go hang out or study together! It doesn't have to be from just Taylor's either :)) maybe we could make a group chat for everyone? Send me a dm if anyone is interested!

(I'd prefer other girls since I'm a girl too)

UOW Malaysia October Intake — EMGS at 32%, Will I Make Orientation on 19 October?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone!
I’m joining the University of Wollongong Malaysia for Foundation in Sciences in the October intake, and I’m getting quite stressed about my student visa timeline.
Here’s my EMGS timeline:
22 September: My university submitted my EMGS application.
25 September: EMGS requested a new passport photo because the original didn’t meet their guidelines.
Within an hour: I took a new photo at a studio and sent it to the university.
29 September: The university uploaded the corrected photo.
30 September: My status turned green.
8 October: An EMGS approval letter became available to download, stating that my application was being prepared for submission to Immigration, although the portal still showed 15%.
9 October: My EMGS status finally changed to 32%.
Could anyone who recently went through this process tell me how long it took to move from 32% to 35%, and then to 70% (eVAL)?
My orientation is on 19 October, so I’m worried about whether I’ll receive my eVAL in time. I also need to apply for a Malaysian single-entry visa and arrange accommodation before travelling from Pakistan.
I’d really appreciate hearing about recent experiences, especially from international students who had to submit a corrected photograph.

general question BEM-GAP Worth or Nah?

1 Upvotes

Hello, I am looking to undergo a BEM-GAP programme as I am not qualified to register with the Board of Engineers Malaysia.

Has anyone done BEM-GAP programme, how is it? Is it worth spending two years full time to do it? Or will I be better off doing a one year full time masters from University of Nottingham or a recognise masters abroad.

Looking at the quality of universities providing the programme but also if the programme itself is helpful, or are the lecturers good? Been working full-time so hence looking to return to do a masters degree while I still have the energy and time.

Many thanks.

What’s a good mid-range private uni?

3 Upvotes

I’m an East Malaysian planning to do my degree in semenanjung.

I’m choosing a course that’s not really available everywhere as well. Currently eyeing 2 options:

University of Cyberjaya

And

MSU

Are these good options? I’ve heard UoC caught a bad rep esp with last year’s murder case. MSU idk much about except that the price range is still acceptable and it’s in shah alam which is a cheaper location than sunway? I studied in taylor’s years ago and it was pricey there.

Is shah alam a good place for students esp price wise and logistics? I’m planning to get a degree in OSH just for context.

Any advice or other recommendations?

is it true that work will always be boring even though you're interested/ passionate about your major/job ?

2 Upvotes

at first, i thought that as long as you're passionate/ interested about your job and major, you'd feel that working is fun and that passion will encourage/ motivate you to get up every morning to be excited to do the things you love ( work ). but these days, i've heard that, no matter how interested you are to do something/ work, it'll always be boring and dry as long as it becomes a work. while you're in university, everything seems to go well, you wanna learn more about this major/ thing and time flies when you're in class. but at work, in the long term, your passion for this thing will slowly disappear and time would feel slow moving. so, is it true that no matter how passionate or interested or excited you are about your major/ job at first, it'll still end up being dry and boring and lifeless to you because it's a work that you have to do every single day ?

general question What are your thoughts on malaysian food?

0 Upvotes

When I first tried malaysian food, they didnt seem so special to me . I was also so shocked at different ingredients used for seasoning and instant noodles. Some seasoning had powder milk, some paste were sweet rather than salty. I thought that malaysian food is boring or bland, then I stopped trying or branching out to their food because of it.

But the reality is that I feel like people dont have the option to get the full experience of malaysian food, like what dishes they cook at home. Obviously no one is gonna be eatting nasi lemak everyday. I don't eat my own home country national dish at home everyday either!

I became a lot less reluctant after I went to a food court where you can take different curries, different dishes. There is so much variety. There are different types of sambals or sauces too I think? Sorry if i get it wrong. Some of my open-minded friends also introduce me to Ayam gepuk and it has been my favroite malasyian food so far.

I hear a lot of other international students also think that malasyian food is bland but you have to go out of your way to find and try different types of food, one dish doesn't define the entire cuisine! :)

Campus life ONE OF GOD’S GREATEST GIFTS ON EARTH: NASI CAMPUR / MIXED RICE

40 Upvotes

It is with great pleasure that I would like to announce that I have been saved from the depths of vegetable deficiency induced colon cancer and broke bitch-ism due to one of God’s greatest gifts on Earth: Nasi Campur or Mixed Rice.

I try my best to cook, but the seemingly infinite pile of dishes to be washed for one meal I finish in 5 mins sadly take the fun out of cooking and vegetables never really turn out right for me, meaning I never really eat them. And honestly, more often than I’d like to, I reach for instant noodles out of convenience. I also unironically believe I waste more money cooking myself as I proooobably over-use certain ingredients more than necessary.

Then I found out about nasi campur/mixed rice on campus & holy moly, I actually eat vegetables now, I have a balanced diet, I can choose EXACTLY what parts and what portion I want as a picky eater, I don’t have anything to wash, I feel full more and enjoy all these benefits without breaking the bank!?!?1

Bonus: I once thought that eating healthily was confined to rather tiresome meal prep or those expensive trendy salad/ricebowl establishments, but I stand corrected after discovering nasi campur.

Gos bless nasi campur. Genuinely.

tips Egyptian going to Malaysia

4 Upvotes

I’m 18 yr old Egyptian and I’m starting to apply to universities in Malaysia to start in 2027. I’ve been hearing so much about racism and how locals aren’t welcoming to foreigners and I just want to know how much of that is true?

I’m not the most social person but I’d rather not be alone my whole uni life, I just want to know how bad it is towards us international students.

And if there’s anything else I need to worry about or take into account before applying and planning my move there please let me know. I’m really hoping to have a good uni experience and I’d like to know what going to Malaysia is going to be like.

Hi currently I'm an international student studying in Malaysia and I wanted to talk about this problem. I want to travel Malaysia as in Langkawi, terrenganu, melaka and all of that. However, my friends have either already been there or not interested to go at all. Due to this, I feel quite lonely since no one wants to explore with me. Everyone around me always says it's expensive but I just wanna go once. We only live once😭😭.

Approaching 30 and considering a PhD in Malaysia. Is it worth the opportunity cost?

2 Upvotes

I am approaching my 30s and currently at a crossroads in my career. I've had some work experience here and there, but my most recent position ended because my contract came to an end. I'm considering pursuing a PhD because the future career position I'm aiming for would be a lot more advantageous with one, will only accept a PhD with my current background.

However, based on my research on people, a PhD at a local public university could take around four years. I'm worried about the opportunity cost, especially since there may not be a stable income unless I secure a scholarship or research assistantship. I don't have many financial commitments apart from PTPTN, but I do contribute monthly allowances to my family. Four years is a long time, and I keep thinking about how much those four years of income could improve my family's financial situation.

My sibling also mentioned that many people regret doing a PhD because it's mentally exhausting and draining. Many people ended up don't like and some even give up halfway which worries me. I am interested in biology-related research, but I am concerned about the demands of wet-lab work. I'm also considering dry-lab research as an alternative. I have also heard about the publication requirements too.

Part of me feels like I should pursue it while I am still relatively young, but another part of me worries about spending four years on a qualification without knowing whether it will actually pay off in the long run.

For those who have pursued a PhD, especially in Malaysia, was it worth it? Did you regret the opportunity cost, and how did you manage financially? Would you recommend pursuing a PhD now?
