Checking KEJARA Points on MYEG or JPJ

m2yu — Thu, 11 Sep 2014 21:03:14 +0800

Does anyone know if it is still possible to check the KEJARA points online? I tried checking on MYEG but it keeps saying that particular page is under maintenance.
I was going through JPJ's website, but I have no idea how to (if it is possible) to check the points there.

Any suggestions and help will be greatly appreciated!

Hi, does anyone know where I can get those rubber hot water bottles where people usually use during winter seasons in foreign countries?
Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Forgot to mention, where to get them in KL? Or if anyone know, in Perth, Aust? And they should be approved by the productsafety people. Thx!

Questions on uni and courses

Hi guys, I've just recently finish the ausmat and I really don't know what I want. I feel like I've wasted a year of my life and of my parent's money while I didn't get the results I've wanted. I've got a 75.2 TER.

The thing is, I have to start my degree soon, my parents are actually nagging me about it non-stop. It's already end of April and I seem to be back at square one. Initially I've thought about doing journalism via the american degree prog. But then because I've realised that my English + creativity will not be good enough for me to compete in the states. So I've let that thought go. And then last yr I took a politics and law subject which is very new to me and I liked it alot the same goes for economics. But my maths is not good enough for me to make economics a job for life.

Now I don't know what to do. To go pursue a law career or a business career. I'm actually very scared of the consequences if I don't choose well and if I don't perform well in my degree. I don't know what I like and I've never been exposed to any of the business subjects except for accounting. It's okay I guess, but I wouldn't love it. I've also thought about event management which will be under the Berjaya program.

For the business students, what do you study in these subjects: management and marketing and finance?

I want to be able to at least study abroad for one year and experience campus life. I've actually applied to several universities in Australia last year. I was accepted but then I don't think my parents would be able to financially support me in Aust. So I declined all the offer as my results weren't good enough for any scholarships.

I know I'm asking a lot, but I really dunno where to ask. I mean I don't talk much with my parents and I think I would just stop there. I will be applying to the ADP prog very soon, my parents are not keen on my wasting my time away. But I seriously am not sure what I want and what should I major in even after I applied? One of the reason why ADP is a choice is because I can go abroad after 2 years here. And it would be much more cheaper than going str8 for freshman yr.

Here is where another problem arise, if I were to major in business, I could just go to Monash and do a 3 yr degree and have my final yr transferred to Aust.

At this point, I am really really frustrated with myself. Please help me out and I'd greatly appreciate the input and response. Thanks a lot!

What should I do with college?

I don't know what I should do for my foundation before taking my degree. My heart tells me to do history and stuffs like that in art. But I also have the urge to continue with science in the Biomedical or Forensic Science field. (I'm a science student for my O-levels) and I have a passion for world history. I have choices in front of me.

I've asked advices from my teacher and some of them told me to go ahead and do history locally as in STPM (Form 6) and then get a degree in a local university and go overseas to continue. I have thought about that too. And the cost is not that high either. And I have a feeling that my parents are not very keen with the idea of my getting into the History field because its hard to get a stable job. And I know that as well. It will also be another problem for them to send me to overseas.

In the science field, I'm taking Australian Matriculation (AUSMAT) as my foundation. My subject of combination is Biology, Chemistry, Maths and Psychology. English is a must. I can get a scholarship for this programme. So where should I go from here? The cost for this field will be very expensive because I don't plan to stay in Malaysia to continue either one of the science degree. I'm thinking of US or Australia. And I'm not a very good student in Chemistry. I don't have a good grasp on my basics but I love Biology.
So in the end one thing is common between these two. I'm quite stuck in Malaysia. Please help me!

Other info's to take in as factors.
STPM takes 1.5 years // AUSMAT 1 year
STPM is recognized internationally // AUSMAT only certain unis.
