Lembaga Akreditasi Negara (LAN)

[vision]

Does anyone of you know any website concerns about the courses for IPTA that are supported by LAN? Which courses are supported by LAN? :?

which LAN are you talking about?

LAN = Lembaga Akriditasi Negara

I guess all courses in IPTA are accredited by LAN. Only those foreign degrees of degrees by private colleges or IPTS that matters.

The website is at http://www.lan.gov.my/english/index2eng.htm

I believe there should be a full listing there. And I saw a place where you can query directly about whether any particular course are accredited.

can somebody change the title of the forum to :
LAN(Lembaga Akriditasi Negara)

Wah, the LAN sure give away those accreditations like nobody's business, just the same as our Jabatan peperiksaan gives out A1s. No wonder UiTM has super high ambition to be international (thinking that they really qualify for it). Just wait ler.... Perhaps in another 100 years time?

Since the implementation of the meritocracy system, the percentage of malays accepted into local universities has increased every year. Do you believe that based on merit, the number of Chinese who qualify for university is lower than the number of malays?

If that is true, then the malays have improved by leaps and bounds, exceeding all the objectives of NEP.

But we only need to look at the PMR and SPM results to know that malay students lag far behind their Chinese counterparts. It is only when Chinese students take the STPM and the malay students take their matriculation examinations that suddenly, malay students become superior.

We live in a wonderful fairyland where ministers can say that the colour of milk is black and nobody dares to question it. Let's have the courage to face the truth, don't call an arbitrary system 'meritocracy'.

Stick to the previous quota system - at least the pitiful Chinese and Indian students will have a secure share of university places.

Welcome noneedname to ReCom. Thanks for posting.

I would say that you would need to look at the number of Chinese that apply for IPTA. The number ranges around 10,000 only, and of which more than 84% get admission, whereas other races have far more applicants with admission rate of nearly 60% only. So, this is the first point to counter your argument. It is not the fact that there is no qualified Chinese or whatsoever, but the number of applicants are pretty low.

Have you really known those who are unfairly not getting into their courses of choices, IF they have applied for courses based on the cut-off points for STPM. My high school is a Chinese school, and every year, be it during meritocracy or quota system, the acceptance rate to university is always higher than 95% and often it is 100%, with many get into their top choices. The reasons being that they apply to universities with properly researched cut-off points of their choices.

Have you ever found a case of someone with a lower cutoff point getting into IPTA than the published one, after meritocracy is being implemented. The cut-off point for each course is being published and if there is anyone who meets the cut-off point and don't get it, they can always make a big fuss, but the problem is that often people apply for all their 8 courses which require higher cutoff than they have.

Frankly, if you look at SPM, the number of Malays that get straight A1s is about as many as Chinese. And if you have known many top Malays, and there are a lot of them here in ReCom.org, they are at least as smart as their counterparts, if not smarter.

I hope that we Malaysians do not merely cast aspersions, but try to find ways to make full use of the system. Making complaints by itself won't help.

It's just my two cents.

Malaysia and Singapore used to be one body. Both started on par in many things, including their universities.

Now, 40 years later, Malaysia and Singapore are different. A tale of two nations. One is declining or stuck and the other is moving forward.

Why the stark difference? One obvious reason is the way human resources are used in Malaysia and Singapore. Another reason is accountability and transparency. Yet another reason is corruption.

The government of one nation has tunneled vision under a coconut shell while the other has good mission and vision. One is concerned with one dominant race and the other is race-blind.

Furthermore, one practices an officially approved apartheid policy while pretending to be a fair government that does not marginalise its citizens of certain ethnic groups. One is pretends to be global while the other is truly global.

Malaysia and Singapore: excellent examples for historical and social analyses and studies. Also, excellent case studies in evolution: survival of the fittest.
