Hi guys,

TL;DR

First Google Hangout session for SPM Leavers 2014.

Featuring: Engineering & Biotechnology & Pure Science & Computer Science.

To SPM Leavers: feel free to come in and ask whatever questions you may have related to these four programs and they will try to answer your questions.

What is this Google Hangout Session thingy?

It is an effort by Malaysian students all around the world to share their experience and also information about tertiary education. Before we started using Google Hangout as our main communication platform, years before the students who were participating in this project usually did a tour from school to school during a long semester.

Now with the current technology we can wield, we utilize Google Hangout on Air as our main communication platform in order to reach broader audience.

Current biotech landscape in Malaysia, anyone?

Hi there, I have a quick question to whoever that are doing biotech, or any other biology-related majors. If you can briefly describe, what is the state of biotech industry in Malaysia? Growing? Stagnant? Nothing much? I am asking this because I am doing Biotechnology now somewhere in the United States. I am thinking to stay here couple more years before going home, so to make informed decisions before going back, it would be great if I can get inputs from fellas in Malaysia. Thanks!

If you were to have a coffee with an SPM student

My friends and I had organized a few students outreach programs in the past, specifically targeting the students seating for SPM examination, and also the SPM leavers waiting for the results to be announced. Most popular questions were "how to get scholarship", "what course to choose", and "how to study abroad", among others.

However, year after year my friends and I figured out that students are gradually losing the interest to think forward about what to be in the future. To us, they seem to live and have fun in the present world, not thinking a bit about their future. I dare to say this because the current groups of student that we are mentoring now doesn't seem to be that interested to talk about tertiary education or any kind of intellectual discussion.

We don't sit comfortably with this kind of trend. So my question is, "if you were to have a talk or discussion with high school students, what would you say to them?"

I really appreciate your input. Thanks in advance.

Hi guys,

Came here to lepak a bit and maybe making new friends. Right now I am studying Biotechnology (full course name: Biotechnology & Molecular Bioscience) at a small suburb university upstate New York (close to Canada, and the Niagara is like 1 hour away).

Say that if you are interested to know more about my studies and stuff about being an oversea student, I am happy to cater your needs. If you have question(s) about biology-related major, don't shy to ask. I will try to be helpful here.
