Money Making University

I haven't update this blog about 2 weeks.Part of it is my fault and also a bit busy on the assignment and classes. When I open my blog and surfing certain blog that I always read, I came across 2 posting that attract me to start posting again. It's about my beloved university, Multimedia University (MMU).

It's about the record breaking and creating new record in the Malaysian's Book of Records by MMU. Although I'm from this university, I'm more to the event that involves music and martial because I'm the member of MMUsic and Silat Gayong mainly besides of MMRC. I know that something big is happen around, but it's seems can't attract me. At this moment there is some event that called Foods Festival around the campus if I'm not mistaken. On 18th of April, there will be GEMA, a concert that same ase talentime is around the corner. Reading rocky's bru and SK Thew post on 13th April about MMU and the complain about the longest kebab event.

It seems MMU is famous after all. The record of making the longest kebab is one of the achievement by this university. I didn't know that the cost to make the longest kebab in Malaysia is around RM24,000!!! Hell yeah it shocked me. I didn't know that it cost so much. Another record that had been created by MMU is longest dodol cooking,creating MMU logo by 1cent coin, the longest played Saidina games and many more. According to this blog, MMU had created about 13 record from 2001 to 2007. It's a great achievement for this university I guess so. The latest that I aware, MMU is on the 1338th places in top 3000 universities in the world (here).

Perhaps it's one of the way to make Multimedia University more recognizable in Malaysia and around the world. But the thing that highlighted here is about the amount of money spent.For the Cyberjaya campus especially, the living cost here is a bit high for average earning family of a student.Well,maybe this university is situated in a new developed area. But recently, rumors said that the hostel fees will be increased. Most of the students that stay in the hostel is from the middle class family. Even though there are apartment around the university such as Townhouse, Cyberia Condominium and other places, the rent is quite high.

I'm not criticizing the SRC, STAD of the university itself, but the amount of money spent on certain event is a bit high and too much. Perhaps we just need to give other universities to create the other records since MMU had already created about 13 records.

Below is a few suggestion from me as a student from MMU :-
1)Why not used the money to build a safer roadway and more light around the road to campus? Since some cases that involved the student of this univ that had been robbed by foreigners.
2)Improve the conditions of the hostels.Some of the toilet in hostels is not fully functioning. Replaced the old double decker bed and old equipment in the hostel room.
3)Organized a dinner for orphans and those who needed help.It is the most suitable way to use the money ;)
4)Try to improve the conditions of the old lecture rooms. Sometimes some of the equipment in FET and FIT is not functioning very well.
5)Make the surau more big since the surau in MMU is the nearest for all workers and student to perform Jumaat prayer. Every time the surau is crowded with muslimin to perform the Jumaat prayer.

It's all that I can think at this time.It's late already, I'm off to bed. I hope MMU will be amongst the most recognizable university in Malaysia and in the world. All the best for all student and 'Berusahalah MMU"!!!!
