		<description>&quot;With regard to that Cambridge Phd student, in what way was my debate with him out of line? For you it is blind fixation of people coming from Ivy League institutions...&quot; limkamput


Whaaaat??? Since when was University of Cambridge in Cambridge, USA? There are towns named London and Cambridge in the United States.  University of London is located in London, U.K.

		<description>&quot;I think this fellow has a psychiatric problem.

The last time I met such a person was one who claimed to hear voices in his head telling him that he was the Ã¢â‚¬Ëœprophet of truthÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ and that his sole mission in the world was to declare to the world that he was their much awaited messiah! Funny! But the next time I met him was in a psychiatric ward of a certain hospital I rather not name. Could it be the same person discharged from the hospital to make way for other new cases? If so, then Mr. Lim must report his IP address to the authorities so that he could be picked up before he does more harm to himself!&quot;


I think my comment deserves a reply from the distinguished professor Mr.  Lim Kar Putt, or are you hearing more voices in your head?

Don&#039;t take on poor DArk Horse. He has no idea where you were last.</description>

		<description>Darkhorse,
I have debated you point for point and yet you have responded with just one or two lines of irrelevant tirade.  Look, I have a feeling that you are not only stupid; you canÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t even write proper English. So, stop lamenting how useless local or bumi graduates are. 

I will go where I want go in this blog, and there is nothing you can do about it.  I will continue to post comments on writings that are incoherent, stupid, inconsistent, sweeping, bigot, and racist. I hope you know the difference between condemning racism and being a racist.</description>

		<description>On second  thoughts I don&#039;t want you to disappear. I want you to come on to the more current threads and offload your tirade at posters for being stupid, ignorant and being bigots and all i.e. if you have the balls.</description>

		<description>This scumbag is at it again! Still trying to show his &quot;superiority&quot; of knowledge, taking on the best Malaysian scholar at Cambridge doing his PhD at such a young age, and telling he is stupid.

Look, Mr. Scumbag. Why don&#039;t you disappear?</description>

		<description>What&#039;s all these outbursts about??


&quot;You are just a spineless person ...&quot; LIM Kah Putt


&quot;You people have it all mixed up and started to make statements filled with opinions but...&quot; Lin Kah Putt

I occasionally visit this political blog and others like this one, but ..people who feel the need to show they &#039;know&#039; more than others, that others are &#039;wrong&#039; and try to show &#039;his intellectual prowess&#039; like this poster Lim   Kah Putt are usually the opposite. How else would you explain his arrogance? My professors at my university never talk to me like that.

In the first, he seems to be taking a personal blow at one poster. In the second, he shows his real intention and his real arrogant self and purpose  which is to take on all posters on this blog because according to him, they are wrong in their opinions, that he  knows better, that he is right and others are just wrong and stupid. You don&#039;t call others names just because they are wrong!!

I think this fellow has a psychiatric problem.

The last time I met such a person was one who claimed to hear voices in his head telling him that he was the &#039;prophet of truth&#039; and that his sole mission in the world was to declare to the world that he was their much awaited messiah!

		<description>This Limkaput aka Dollah from Kampong Melayu thinks heÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s out smarted readers by giving himself a misleading Ã¢â‚¬ËœhandleÃ¢â‚¬â„¢. His praise for the quality of local grads especially the Ã¢â‚¬Å“thousands and millions of bumi graduatesÃ¢â‚¬Â when others lament, shows where heÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s coming from.

Go back and read my post again.  It is typical for you to comment out of context.  Here again, you do not know the difference between exception and general rule.  You people have it all mixed up and started to make statements filled with opinions but lack empirical facts.  As a general rule, yes, may be the standard of local graduates has deteriorated.  However there are local graduates who are great. As a general rule may be Bumi graduates lack quality because of the catching up and affirmative policy.  However, there is no doubt in my mind there are thousands of Bumi graduates smarter and more capable than Undergrad2 and Darkhorse.  You canÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t fault me. Whatever I am saying here has theoretical underpinning.  Unlike you who is essentially a loose cannon.</description>

		<description>The grass is always greener the other side. To many the Ã¢â‚¬Ëœother sideÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ could still be Malaysia when they get to Ã¢â‚¬Å“this sideÃ¢â‚¬Â. Undergrad2

You are just a spineless person who wants the best of both worlds.  Make up your mind, nobody owe you a living.  You just want people like Kit, Guan Eng and others to fight for you.  Let me put it this way. If you are in this country today, I think you dare not even post anything in this blog.  Sorry, that is how I judge you base on many writings you posted earlier - full of inconsistency, opportunistic, hypocrisy, childish, vulgar, and self conceited.</description>

		<description>Take a guess as to how the U.S. is funding their trade deficit?- Undergrad2
You asked other to take a guess, but my question to you is: have you guessed it right?  Come on, show what you have got and tell us how US trade deficit is financed.  I will be happy to hear from you.</description>

		<description>I can only speak for myself. I find the U.S. a great country to live in because of the 1st, 4th, 5th and 6th Amendments of the U.S. Constitution. One does not have to be a U.S. citizen less still a white Evangelical Christian to enjoy the same constitutional rights a U.S. citizen enjoys - Undergrad2

Why be so inconsistent? You think others have forgotten how you condemned USA earlier. You are an epitome of inconsistency and hypocrisy.
Yes, there are thousands of bumi graduates smarter than you and Darkhorse.  I have no doubt in my mind at all. I did not mention anywhere I am smart.  But I am just smart enough to know that you, Jeffrey and Darkhorse are mediocre and yet want to talk very loud. Come on, what was written earlier by Darkhorse is not even grade two, ok.   And for you, may be grade 3.</description>

		<description>I was from a local u because my family was hardcore poor and my skin color also prevented me from getting any government sponsored overseas schoolarship.

Most of the Malay students enrolled in the local Us actually are disqualified stock. Lecturers have to design easier questions to suit them. 

Most ridiculous thing is a local U awarded free 60% marks for meeting lecturer session for the final year project. 

I only got 5% mark for this portion because a Malay lecturer played dirty politics with me. At first meeting he said no weekly meeting sessions were needed IF I could handle my project myself. Damned!! At the end of the semester, he told me I only got 5% free marks (out of 60%) for attended one meeting with him. 

Instead of getting 98%, he was pleased to give me a margin pass of 43%, (5% + 38% out of 40% in the report writing portion). May be my lecturer also wanted non-bumi students sinking together with bumi students. 

I already advised my teenaged nephews forget about local u since both lecturers and students (majority) are pathetic suck.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was from a local u because my family was hardcore poor and my skin color also prevented me from getting any government sponsored overseas schoolarship.</p>
<p>Most of the Malay students enrolled in the local Us actually are disqualified stock. Lecturers have to design easier questions to suit them. </p>
<p>Most ridiculous thing is a local U awarded free 60% marks for meeting lecturer session for the final year project. </p>
<p>I only got 5% mark for this portion because a Malay lecturer played dirty politics with me. At first meeting he said no weekly meeting sessions were needed IF I could handle my project myself. Damned!! At the end of the semester, he told me I only got 5% free marks (out of 60%) for attended one meeting with him. </p>

Take a guess as to how the U.S. is funding their trade deficit?</description>

		<description>Oh-oh..I think I mis-spoke above.  I should have said &#039;one of the largest consumer nations&quot; because I think China is the largest consumer nation by number. But in terms of spending, I think the US is the largest.</description>

		<description>One thing good about the US is that it welcomes real talents in sciences and engineering.  It is also home to most corporate research &amp; development centers as well as over 5000 universities/colleges. 
That is why good Chinese Malaysian students should take advantage of that by studying and then working in the US.
The outsourced jobs are mostly menial assembly-type jobs.  Notice that they are now more Japanese, Korean, and European automobile plants in the US because as the largest consumer nation, there are still some benefits to have some manufacturing facilities in the US.</description>

		<description>Why are we talking about ourselves??? This thread is about the brain drain - a topic our LKS likes to re-visit for obvious reasons.

The quality of tertiary education at our local universities is poor. No one here denies that - except one. Is it a coincidence that he suffers from ADS? [He is also the only one who calls others who do not share his opinion names like &quot;stupid&quot; and &quot;moron&quot; - he calls Jeffrey stupid. Jeffrey is anything but stupid. Readers and frequent visitors to this blog knows that. We should leave him alone because he is a distraction to say the least].

The difficulty of finding employment is the result of discriminatory practices which flow from the insitutionalisation of race in Malaysia - the &#039;push&#039; factor. Any analysis on the &#039;whats&#039; and the &#039;whys&#039; would not be complete without examining also the &#039;pull&#039; factor. Today the &#039;pull&#039; factor is no longer what it used to be as existing jobs are being lost to countries like India and China, and new ones  are difficult to find.

We need only to listen to Lou Dobb on CNN to hear the cries for protectionism as American jobs are being lost by the thousands each day. The crackdown on illegals is relentless as this country moves into the Presidential election. Remember that employment is the magnet that attracts immigrants to this country. What do you think will happen as this magnet is switched off?

What impact do you think it will have on the &#039;brain drain&#039; (Malaysia&#039;s loss is another country&#039;s gain) not only from Malaysia but also from the other contributing countries?</description>

		<description>&quot;For others in the US, the longer they stay and work, the more entrenched are their financial interests in the country in terms of pension and social security benefits, homes, etc. To leave that behind would mean a sizeable loss in fortune unless you have no other choice like if you lost your job.&quot; Traveller


It is natural to put down roots in a country not the country of one&#039;s birth for various reasons as time passes, and to choose to nurture those roots - settle down after leaving college, getting married and have kids who are U.S&gt; citizens.


I can only speak for myself. I find the U.S. a great country to live in because of the 1st, 4th, 5th and 6th Amendments of the U.S. Constitution. One does not have to be a U.S. citizen  less still a white  Evangelical Christian to enjoy the same constitutional rights a U.S. citizen enjoys.

But I would end my days in Malaysia, the country of my birth, riding into the sunset (perhaps on the back of a buffalo) amidst the greenery and aroma of home-made coffee (certainly not Starbucks and Dunkin&#039; Donuts and Papa John) and teh tarek and roti canai and nasi lemak - and things you guys take for granted. Perhaps not you personally Traveller, because by your &#039;handle&#039; you seem to be telling us that you too are on the road.</description>
