Universiti Malaysia ranking dropped out of top 200 list

I was reading The Star online, I found once the famous UM has dropped out from the world top 200 list. This is such a sad news. Though I do not have the honor to study there, but it was like one of the 'idolised' university during my school days.

Also, there is an extract from the Education ministry quoting :

Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed told The Star it was normal to see fluctuation in the rankings.

“We do not want to be obsessive about world rankings,” he said.

The ministry, he added, had its own strategic plan which was benchmarked against world’s best practices, and would take note of the rankings.

“We also cannot be ‘ranked’ against other universities whose ‘conditions’ and ‘environments’ are different from ours. It is like comparing apples with oranges,” he said.


I do not know what else to say! Comparisons whether you like it or not generate good conflict, hence you move forward to fix thing up.

If the attitude continue to be 'Tidak Apa', we will eventually missed the boat.
