Education Malaysia for Students

The Star Online: Fifteen University of Bath graduates have accused University Technology Mara of intellectual property theft after discovering that their MBA thesis papers had been uploaded to its Institutional Repository (UiTM IR). The fifteen students, from four groups of graduates of the 1994 Bath Executive Masters of Business Administration (MBA)-Malaysian Institute of Management (MIM) programme, claimed that their thesis papers had been used without their consent. This says a lot about how University Technology Mara (UiTM) views copyright of intellectual property and to an extent on plagiarism. The 58-year-old consultant, who completed his group thesis paper for his MBA 22 years ago, found that it was uploaded to UITM's IR. "What was more puzzling was that our thesis had the UiTM logo and copyright mark on their paper. "In the preview, you can see the UiTM logo clearly placed on the front of the project page, giving the impression that we had somehow collabora...

The Star Online: The Higher Education Ministry has sent the names of 50 students to several higher learning institutions based on their suspicious redemption of 1Malaysia Book Vouchers (BB1M) . The names, it said, were sent to get an explanation from the respective institutions on the redemption activities. “Any further action will be based on reports from the higher learning institutions. The ministry will also work closely with Bank Simpanan Nasional (BSN) to identify the students,” it said in a statement yesterday. The ministry is also looking into 10 bookshops, which had made the claims for the redemption at BSN. “If these companies were found not to be in the business of selling books, legal action will be taken against them,” it said, adding that prior to this, the ministry had blacklisted four bookshops for abusing the BB1M programme. On March 31, The Star had front-paged a story on bookstore operators buying the vouchers from students. The vouchers were used to sell off ol...

In a statement, the ministry said it would continue monitoring the situation by going undercover and come down hard on shop owners and students caught flouting the rules for the usage of BB1M vouchers. It said information gathered would be used to carry out further investigations before deciding if a shop owner or student would be blacklisted.

The Star Online: While undergraduates know that selling their 1Malaysia Book Vouchers (BB1M) is wrong, the cash is just too tempting for many. Those who admitted to the practice justified their actions with a variety of personal reasons. A 22-year-old known only as Thomas said that money was more practical than book vouchers that most students do not really need. “Many students are suffering from high living costs so selling the vouchers is a good option to temporarily manage their financial situation,” he said. He said it was his fourth time selling the vouchers and he had no plans to use the money yet. Classmates Chong, 22, and Lee, 20, said that they used the cash to cover their daily expenses. “The money isn’t a lot but when you are on a student budget, a little can go a long way,” Chong said, adding that the RM200 she received for her vouchers was enough to pay for a month of meals in college. Lee, who stays in a rented room near his college, said he preferred spending the...
