		<description>The QE is open to abuse by parties with biased interests. We have yet to see a public system in Malaysia that is untainted with racist element. The QE would ultimately place quota restrictions on the aspirants and thus we shall end up seeing graduates of varied quality entering the profession. Should this take place, it would certainly defeat the purpose of having a &quot;quality control&quot; examination. Nevertheless, the move is excellent as a tool to screen incompetent or even potentially life endangering doctors practicing in Malaysia. But, will the QE be carried out with just and more important with the utmost transparency. With the current sociopolitical state in Malaysia, i doubt it. BTW, just as an interesting fact to all, there are recognised medical degrees that can be bought with money. Medical students  who got kicked out from the local medical university in Malaysia came to   these &quot;selected&quot; universities to continue their degrees. Imagine that! These are students who failed to meet the local requirements , who went through the university for a few semesters but then ended up kicked out by the university and landed in these oversea universities as &quot;transferred students&quot; and actually carry on with their study and would in the end &quot;serve&quot; you and me. Worse still?  They receive sponsorship from JPA, MARA. What could actually be worse than that you asked? Well, they cam through the oversea university through agents who are in contact with the university  faculty. And guess what? The agent is actually a specialist cum lecturer at the local university which these students got kicked put of. Interesting eh? Well....that&#039;s what bolehland is cooking up for    us all. How do i know about these? I am studying in the same university as well. A sad truth, indeed.</description>

		<description>CSL should retract his statement !! Think again.
since he is back from taiwan..he made this statement. again because of  plenty malaysian students study in various recognized university in Taiwan just keep on pushing and pushing CSL for more recognized university. ( msg for Student study in Taiwan ): Plz sit down and study your book. You should be very appreciate with the latest reconized in Taiwan. Study Hard.

What yellow noodles, sallaries, and ect since CSL up!!??...after all we are eaten all those junk food or fast food EX: KFC, MCd..Burger King. Should we all re-evaluate again the standard for those fast food outlets&#124;?&#124;?

WHy health department in Malaysia cannot focus on others sign and noticed in rural area, government hospital, ambulance car, hospital Food and suggestion box. Please check the suggestion in all government hospital, maybe CSl can find the solution and latest complaint by patient or public members.
Or CSL just fatique sitting in his office doing nothing???

Please, All family members (medical students) are waiting for them to return to Bolehland to serve the country.

May God bless them.
We should help each other.

Please No more adding or reconized more and more Oversea University from now-onwards.

		<description>Let all medical graduates,whether they are from local or foreign universities take the unified medical exams.Make sure there is no tips leaked to any particular group before the exams.Papers should be set and marked by foreign medical professors.Is that asking for too much?Now the local medical graduates will start posting their objections and again they will curse CSL for the idea.</description>

		<description>Don&#039;t love you anymore??? Here&#039;s the song

&quot;Rose, Rose I love you with an aching heart.
What is your future, now we have to part?
Standing on the jetty as the steamer moves away,
Flower of Malaya, I cannot stay.

Mei Kwei, oh, Mei Kwei for my Eastern Rose.
Men crowd in dozens everywhere she goes.
In her rickshaw on the street or in a cabaret,
&quot;Please Mei Kwei for Rose,&quot; you can hear them say.

All my life I shall remember.....&quot;</description>

		<description>To All Medical Undergrads, 
Think very carefully who is the big brother in the ruling party??
What can CSL do if he is to take instruction from the ruling tyrant
OR if he refuses to carry the order, he must pack and say good bye to all of you!! My ADVICE to ALL doing foreign Medical Degree
holders, work elsewhere if the BOLEHLAND DOES NOT WELCOME YOU!
You ALL can survive BETTER than choosing to work here. YOU LOVE
Malaysia BUT BOLEHLAND does NOT LOVE YOU !!</description>

		<description>Goddamn it!

Richard Teo, come out of the woodwork and for God&#039;s sake, defend yourself like a man and not cower behind your desk. It should be a source of great comfort to you to know that comments the like of which you make here are not seditious. So don&#039;t hide behind the SEDITION ACT 1948 either.

You are not above criticism. Speak up and defend yourself like a man. That&#039;s what freedom of speech is all about - don&#039;t just make statements.</description>

		<description>&quot;WhatÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s the rationale for the local qualifying exam - restrict the number of practitioners just like the CLP for lawyers?&quot; Endangered Hornbill

This is not true. Without the CLP I would never be able to qualify and practice law. In fact some years ago they wanted to do away with the CLP. This is now the only way to qualify for me.</description>

		<description>Richard Teo claims:

Ã¢â‚¬Å“Dr Chua should acquaint himself with the qualifying Board of Law exams which requires oversea lawyers who did not complete their Bar exam overseas to do the local CLP before they can practise while local lawyers are exempted.&quot;

Every year we see Honours Law graduates from overseas who sat for the CLP fail in this exam.The pass rate for the CLP is around 10% to 20% every year and most of the oversea students are non-Malays. Obviously most of the non-Malays could not do their Law course locally and their only route was overseas.Ã¢â‚¬Â Richard Teo

Richard Teo is misguided and should check the facts before making his statements. He sees what he wants to see but is otherwise blind to the truth.

Who are these overseas lawyers? They are both non-Malays and Malays. 

He would like to make readers think that overseas law graduates are mostly non-Malays. That is not true. Many non-Malays denied of the opportunity of studying Law in local universities   opted to study law by correspondence. The CLP benefits this group of Law graduates who never have had to leave the country,  and who study within the comfort of their own homes and at hours convenient to them Ã¢â‚¬â€œ not to mention how much cheaper it would be. There was an attempt some time ago to scrap the CLP altogether.

As for the low pass rate, it is the same for all professions. We cannot afford to have doctors checking their pocket books for clues as to the cause of their patientsÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ ailment -  just as we cannot afford to have lawyers who waste their clientsÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ money for getting it wrong on the law or worse send them to jail for crimes they did not commit.</description>

Obviously most of the non-Malays could not do their Law course locally and their only route was overseas.Ã¢â‚¬Â Richard Teo</p>
<p>Richard Teo is misguided and should check the facts before making his statements. He sees what he wants to see but is otherwise blind to the truth.</p>
<p>Who are these overseas lawyers? They are both non-Malays and Malays. </p>
<p>He would like to make readers think that overseas law graduates are mostly non-Malays. That is not true. Many non-Malays denied of the opportunity of studying Law in local universities   opted to study law by correspondence. The CLP benefits this group of Law graduates who never have had to leave the country,  and who study within the comfort of their own homes and at hours convenient to them Ã¢â‚¬â€œ not to mention how much cheaper it would be. There was an attempt some time ago to scrap the CLP altogether.</p>
<p>As for the low pass rate, it is the same for all professions. We cannot afford to have doctors checking their pocket books for clues as to the cause of their patientsÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ ailment &#8211;  just as we cannot afford to have lawyers who waste their clientsÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ money for getting it wrong on the law or worse send them to jail for crimes they did not commit.</p>

		<description>Someone said that studying medicine overseas and locally is the same thing citing the body organs as being similiar anywhere compared to the different law systems in different countries.
This is true but is a very shallow look on medicine. In different countries, different diseases are prevalent and there are different kinds of patients to deal with(patients in developed countries tend to be more well aware of diseases and there&#039;s a different way of dealing with them). Studying overseas is not the same as studying medicine locally. For instance, cystic fibrosis is a major disease among Caucasians but almost non-existent in Asian countries. Not only this, different measurement units are used and the legal procedures in dealing with patients are different.

Therefore, I&#039;m trying to point out that : Yes, Malaysian doctors returning from overseas will be trained differently and regardless whether they are from inferior/superior Universities, they need to be retrained so that they can be familiarised with our local system. I think the government is sending out the wrong message by introducing the exam causing people to think that doctors are underqualified if they graduate overseas. Unless, that&#039;s really what they&#039;re thinking. Have they actually state that as the reason for the exam? I&#039;m sorry to have brought up this point if they have. But if they have not, and the reason is because of the different trainings these overseas grads have received, then I think the government is right in trying to do something about it, but the idea of an exam is still wrong. Isn&#039;t the 3 year compulsory training going to do that? By making all doctors who want to practise go through that, they should be retrained and familiarised with the system. So what I&#039;m trying to say is this, instead of filtering doctors who may not be familiar with our system by introducing exams, absorb them and retrain them. This is exactly what Singapore is doing. They introduce probations for doctors from Malaysia. I know that they take in students from all different unis, including IMU (I have heard of this). IMU is not on the recognised list in Singapore but if you go there and get a place as houseman they&#039;ll train you and put you on probation for a number of years but they still take you in. Malaysia, please do the right thing, not the easy way out as always.</description>

		<description>Clausmaun says (May 28th, 2007 @9.17 am) 

&quot;.....The greatest joke is, in the past these exams conducted had questions like Who was the first prime minister of Malaysia? What is the Communinst party of Malaysia? Why did the Portuguese invade Malacca?. Describe the NEP? LOL. What has all these got to do with the medical profession......&quot;

So this is the so-called &quot;Unified Medical Examination&quot;?

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha 
(Rolling on floor!)</description>
