UKM ahead of UM

If you fret over not getting into Universiti Malaya (UM) but was offered a course in Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), don't worry as UKM is ranked higher than UM now in the a Times Higher Education Supplement.
In World University Rankings 2006 published by the Times Higher Education Supplement and conducted by QS Quacquarelli Symonds, UKM rose by 105 places to break into the top 200-ranked universities for the first time, climbing from 289 last year to 185.

UM, however, continued its downward spiral, by dropping a further 23 places to 192. Its ranking fell from 89 in 2004 to 169 last year, causing a national debate on the status of the premier university and the validity of the criteria used for the rankings.

Education Ministry heads are only interested in politics/racial remarks/race discrimination and not the well being or improvements of varsity students. If this goes on, sad to say, whatever is being produced by Malaysian universities will also reflect Malaysia's future in time to come.

Dead Duck!

A woman brought a very limp duck into a veterinary surgeon. As she laid her pet on the table, the vet pulled out his stethoscope and listened to the bird's' chest. After a moment or two, the vet shook his head sadly and said, "I'm so sorry, your duck has passed away." The distressed owner wailed, "Are you sure?

"Yes, I am sure. The duck is dead," he replied. "How can you be so sure," she protested. "I mean, you haven't done any testing on him or anything. He might just be in a coma or something."

The vet rolled his eyes, turned around and left the room, and returned a few moments later with a black Labrador Retriever. As the duck's owner looked on in amazement, the dog stood on his hind legs, put his front paws on the examination table and sniffed the duck from top to bottom. He then looked at the vet with sad eyes and shook his head. The vet patted the dog and took it out, and returned a few moments later with a cat. The cat jumped up on the table and also sniffed delicately at the bird from head to foot. The cat sat back on its haunches, shook its head, meowed softly, and strolled out of the room.

The vet looked at the woman and said, "I'm sorry, but as I said, this is most definitely, 100% certifiably, a dead duck." Then the vet turned to his computer terminal, hit a few keys and produced a bill, which he handed to the woman. The duck's owner, still in shock, took the bill. "$150!", she cried, "$150 just to tell me my duck is dead!!

The vet shrugged. "I'm sorry. If you'd taken my word for it, the bill would have only been $20, but with the Lab Report and the Cat Scan, it's now $150.00."

Reserve USA Air Force planes

The US Air Force is keeping lots of its reserve airplanes (at an unknown place to me - do you know where it is?) due to better models released in later years. But these airplanes are not rendered useless, just that too many in stocks........
