Do you still remember the first day when you first had your foot into the university? Well, I do. The first day in this university, i kept asking myself - 'Where the heck am i? Is this the right place?' That question has got me lingered here for almost 4 years and am on the verge of graduating. What's more disappointing is that most of the lectures held in classes are done in bahasa.
Not speaking out of respect for the country and her mother tongue, but come on, isn't this the tertiary level education? I'm sure the uni does provides undergrads with language classes, so, enroll in the courses if you wan to polish your mother tongue. As depressing as it is, the lectures will be held with a twist of mixture of INGGERIS and MELAYU. Are you for real? What about the specific terms?
Over the years, i have come to rest my case in this issue because I'm aware that many out there does not have the privilege to be exposed to the English language most of the time. So, i just have to suck it up and live on with it. Until the fateful presentation of the previous day.
If you wan to copy paste all your info from the internet, it's fine by me. But, could you at least do it in discreet? You're not supposed to copy the whole phrase and paste it on your presentation slides. Might as well just save the damn page and present it. This has finally frustrates one of the lecturer and an announcement was made saying all the assignments and presentations in the future will be done in bahasa.
To add more depression to the depressed people. It's like you're putting an icing on top of a cake when there's a lot on it already. Some might consider this as whining, but, i still stand my ground. I think that tertiary institutes should be in English. What's the use of furthering when you're being stuck in one place in the first place?
