After all the Malaysia Book of Record, we have all the biggest, longest, fattest, tallest and all the non-brain involvement of record setting... well, it's not that surprising really.

Harvard? See Mills in:

This ITC will become an INTAN-size management tuition centre. To be any bigger, Petronas U should relocate there. But there will then be the problems of lecturers not wanting to move away from metropolitans to sleepy hollows. So in the end, another Sintok.

Now they understand why it's so important to have a progressive, forward-looking, metro-sized, global-spanning mindset for k-economy type activities.

The entire east coast can be like that. But unless they m/take very very strong measures to yank the folks out of the folksy environment, there won't be enough critical mass of catalytic factors egressing to those states.

That is taking Harvard's name in vain. Shouldn't Harvard be angry and upset? Of they will just laugh, and shake their head in disbelieve?

What is the problem with our "leaders"???

Can't they understand Harvard is NOT the ivy-clad old buildings, and high tech facilities. It is 200+ years of history, and the philosophy of excellence and meritocracy. Concepts very foreign I suppose, to our "leaders".

What an insult to Harvard! So Malaysia is just like Japan or US for that matter just minus our half past 6 government?

HARVARD!!!!

Hello....try matching UM or UPM standard dulu....lepah 500 tahun....maybe can think about harvard.

As I have said before....we have a bunch of people in Malaysia who make press statements as if they life experiences have been in the circus.

University of Terengannu.....

Gaya...mutu...keungulan!

University akan tutup dari bulan disember sehingga hujung januari kerana banjir. Harap maaf.

haha.. this is malaysia. they think that UM's world ranking drops because lacking of first class facilities??? they don't believe in human resource development...

this is malaysia, more khairi in the making.

with the current mentality, i think maybe we can have a vision 2200 to have a harvard terengganu.

pls spend the money to employ or develope more qualified lecturers in local universities.

stop having this sort of harvard fantasy just to create big project to beneficial the greedy, dirty, stupid government.

Is there a section for "Great Dreamers" in the Guiness Book of World Records? Malaysia and Malaysian politicians, particularly from UMNO will always have a permanent place there.

Hahaha, this is really funny. Unfortunately once I realized that monkeys like these are the ones who are running the county, it’s not so funny anymore.

Remember the earlier proposal to set up a local campus of MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) somewhere in Selangor.

Any news about the current status of MIT?

Another grandoise project.There is a medical condition where those infected have illusions of grandeur. This is a complication of tertiary syphilis called ' general paresis of the insane'where patients suffer from megalomaniacal & grandoise ideas.

Whatever happened to the Disneyland theme park in Johor?( another grandoise idea).

Latest news from Singapore is that DisneyLand is having serious negotiations with Capitaland for a casino cum theme park in Sentosa Island . This is to counteract the Genting-Universal Studio tie-up.

Why are they trying to copy Harvard; which is only a college. I thought there is this big exercise going on in "upgrading" colleges to university colleges then "full-fledged" universities. Why not copy the London School of Economics, Imperial College London,,, ooops these are not universities also.

The only MIT I know of in Malaysia has always been (fingers crossed, also will-always-be) MARA Institute of Technology.

I once blogged about University Colleges and how they differ from Colleges and Universities. I was confused. My readers pointed out that it was the number of enrolments that largely determines the intitution's status. A number of colleges were 'upgraded' to university colleges, and it seemed like a trend.

Recently, a new university college has just been set up (and I bet none of you guys have heard of it before). It's called Cyberjaya University College of Medical Sciences (CUCMS). It seems fairly easy to set up a new institution of higher learning. I wonder if CUCMS is private or public. Pharmacy degrees are being offered there too.

But its location is a far cry from what a 'university' should be like (in Street Mall). Then again, it isn't (yet) a university, but a university college.

I think the fed govt is trying to send a message with the new educational orgs opening in states like Terengganu and Kelantan - of which the latter will have its own university soon, being the 19th IPTA.

CUCMS is private, but its acronym is not as humorous as Putrajaya International School [PIS], which they have wisely reworded to International School of Putrajaya [IPS].
