The DPM had just announced that an IIUM Pagoh should be set up soonest possible.I guess we should feel grateful but Engineering and Modern Languages Kulliyyah there? Maybe Engineering is befitting but Languages? In the middle of nowhere? I hope DELL would not be affected.I think I'd quit if we have to move.Jauh sangat meh.Many of my colleagues are saying the same thing.Well, it had happened before I'm sure (masa Kuantan campus was set up).IIUM will survive (in fact will be better).New people would always be better.More energy.More creativity.
While we are here, we gotta give our best and groom the young ones to take over.

Yeah I was quite baffled over the news too. Sama macam berita penubuhan pusat oseanografi IIUM. I x faham, why do we have to keep on creating these "redundancies"??
FAT: getting a piece of land to boost education is fine but mismatching kulliyyah with location is something else.Ada discipline yang lokasinya perlu di kotaraya/in fact kota metropolis.Ini antaranya bahasa dan sastera.
I hope they will revise what Kull will go to Pagoh.Agriculture and anything indsutrial will be good.Ketidak leave some lit and lang branches in the city.If not, we will not be able to attract best staff/best students cos' the location is too far away.
uia already have many campusses, to add another is a beban to already resousce stress system. We closing nilai in september to reduce it but later on we open pagoh. We are back at where we start. The funding from government are getting lesser and lesser every year because of the economy and we should use the resource that is allocated to uia wisely. Rather than building new campus or renting rumah kedai, we should invest in improving what we already have here in gombak or in kuantan.
I proposed that if the government really wanted to setup a higher education institution there in pagoh it should be a new university that actually based in that area or a new branch of another university that already based in johor. This will ensure rakyat's money more wisely spent.
You are absolutely right, Alsalnaa.The problem is we do not plan ways ahead (say like 20-30 years in advance).We are incapable of thinking futuristically.
Let's hope for the best.
