Racist ?

      Hi... I was thinking to write this post for a long time... this time i m gonna write...
I came to Malaysia on 2007. I was studying at Center For Foundation Study(CFS IIUM) which is matriculation, It is one of the branches of IIUM....I spent almost 1 1/2 years over there and i have dealt with different kind of local students. After that i came to Gombak IIUM which is university. I have spent almost three years and have one more years to go for graduation.
     During this time i have dealt with more local students and i have learned more and more about them... Some people only make friend with me coz they wanna take advantage of me..Some people don't even bother to talk. Some local run away if you say you are foreigner.. So basically, there are two types of Malaysian in IIUM.. One who doesn't like foreigner and one who are friendly to foreigners.. I didnt say they like foreigners but they will make friend with you if they see something to take from you either educationally or socially.
     So basically, i m so disappointed at UIA/IIUM... Though it is International University but it doesn't have international standard. Whenever local students see a stranger, they didn't ask whether that person is local or not they just use their mother tongue.. There is a sign in every department saying "Speak only English in the office" yet they don't follow. So, i'd like to warn all the non-local students or students who are planning to come to IIUM... please don't... It would be your biggest mistake that you have ever made... I am a sponsored student so i can't just leave the University. If i could, i would. There are more disadvantages about UIA/IIUM but i m going to stop here... Mark my words guys...Good luck..

Biased UIA/IIUM

Results came out for Semester 2... Got less grade than i have expected.... I don't understand those lecturers at all... Whether i am not clever enough or they are being biased... They said the questions in exam will be asked based on understanding... So, i gave answer according to my understanding... but i got low marks. They can't just ignore my thoughts about the questions... There is one lecturer, she said answer the questions based on understanding...So, i answered what i have understood from the book..I wrote in my own words but when she marks, she goes by the book. So what is the point of explaining the slides in the class ? We could just memorize the slides and answer in the exam!! I don't know what to do anymore... During my study in UIA/IIUM for four years, i have seen different kind of lecturers... Some lecturers don't like international students, some give low marks and some doesn't care about international and speak Malay language in the class.....Last semester, one foreign student got low marks in quiz but one Malaysian student who copy answer from him got more than him.... I didn't know what happened... Even though it is International Islamic University, there are no chances for international students. No wonder, it's rank drops from top universities in Malaysia.
