Global Malaysian, Tempurong Mentality ?
There was huge cries over the lower ranking of local universities by a British based THES. We have a group of people shouting their opinions on the inaccuracies of THES ranking, and championing why THES ranking is not valid and irrelevant in Malaysia. Some may even suggest to established our own ranking system. What for ? So that we can rank ourselves higher and have a false sense of achievement ?
Some people do have funny mentalities. If the same system ranks our local universities higher, I would not surprise, these people will be quick to shout “Malaysia Bolih” and indirectly claiming credits. They will praise and sing the credibility of THES statistics. But when our universities are ranked lower, we created all sort of excuse, making insensible and illogical remarks, trying to attack the credibility of THES’ statistic indirectly.
The bottom line is, THES is an accepted international standard. Our local universities are willing participants in this ranking exercise. If it rank them lower, the university administrators must have the courage to accept the FACT, seriously relook into the administrative policies and strategic directions, formulate new policies, and put up action plan to reposition the university back to an acceptable international standard.
Malaysian must be humble and honest to accept finality of the THES statistics - Statistics are Facts. The universities administrators and higher education policies formulators must take note of our current deficiencies and improve on our higher education’s facilities and environments to ensure young Malaysians can continue to pursue academic excellence in local universities.
