Short Talk:

When you see a "Paypal Donate" link on your favourite blogger's website, do you click on it or do you ignore?

Most people ignore, but lately I fell in love with Stickgal's blog so much that I sent her a SGD$5 donation as a show of appreciation. She replied my e-mail, and I got the cutest thank you note ever. :)


SEGi College Malaysia Main Campus @ Kota Damansara

SEGi College Malaysia recently unveiled their brand new flagship campus in Kota Damansara. I was invited over to write about them during their Open Day and OMG it was HUUUUUGGEEEEE.

As if everything in Damansara is not big enough.

People here already live in HUGE condos, walk around HUGE shopping malls and living off their HUGE paychecks. With the addition of the college campus, Kota Damansara has just gotten bigger.

I thought their new campus building looks kinda like a mosque from the outside, but SEGi College insists that it was Roman-inspired. Whatever lah.

Seriously though, I won't be surprised if our Prime Minister mistakenly walked into it because SEGi College looks so much like his office in Putrajaya.

The whole campus looks straight-up spectacular. Walking up some huge staircase into their lobby, I was like "Whoa! This isn't a place where people come to study. This is a 5-star hotel!"

Reinforcing the whole Roman theme are some more Roman statues scattered all over the place.

The place is so Roman, I felt like I should come in here wearing a toga.

Don't you think this picture looks FUNNY?

It's like the statue is trying to tell the little boy something.



Haha.

Anyway, I embeded myself to a student counsellor and took the tour around campus.

The whole place just looks downright amazing. Places of education used to resemble more like a prison, so this is quite a pleasant change.

They really pamper their student these days. The outdoor setting tastefully decorated with plants and statues; the indoor area all fully air-conditioned and equipped with wireless internet so students don't have to break a sweat when they're cramming for exams.

SEGi College has been around for 30 years and is the country's largest group of private colleges.

The new Kota Damansara campus is now accepting July-intake students, offering courses ranging from the more popular ones like business and engineering ...

... to creative arts ...

... to the more niche ones like psychology and nursing.

Speaking of nursing, their nursing department put on the most interesting exhibition ever.

I had so much fun with their displays. Like scolding them.



"OI! USE YOUR BRAIN LAH! No brain ah?! Nah, give you."



"Hey congratulations. Your weight loss is a success!"



"See lah! This is what happens when you study too much and forgot to eat."

!!!

Damn skull.

The SEGi College Kota Damansara campus looks so gorgeous it can make anyone feel like going back to becoming a student again.

A hostel is built onsite next to some excellent sporting facilities, including a gym, a squash court and an indoor multipurpose hall that could be used for badminton and tennis.

It's even got a swimming pool located smack in the middle of their Roman-esque piazza. How cool is that?

Although from what I know happens in colleges, I don't think this swimming pool is gonna be used so much for actual swimming, but to throw your friends in during their birthdays. :P

Heck, the college is so awesome, it even grew a set of BALLS!

am studying in segi subang, which itself is hotel-like (but some furnishings quite cheapo). am transferring to that place next year. hope they don't raise the fees there. it's affordable lar...around rm25-50K for diploma or degree. expensive if compared to government unis, but cheap if compared to lim kok wing or taylors!

Posted by: pinacolada at 29 May 2007 3:09 PM | Link to comment

Aihs... Looking at the pictures, I feel kinda sad.

Cuz I don't get to continue my degree at the new campus. I'm stuck at the old building in SS2 (old shop lot), dreads.

I don't understand, the campus is freaking huge, why can't every student move to the new campus? Stupid. Angry. And we're paying the same amount of money... Dammit.

Hi Kenny,

Why don't you do a review of all the major colleges & unis in town? like what you did with the telcos.

Would help hundreds and thousands of kids in making their decision each year.

This is not a sucky blog. Am amazed how you can turn something boring like education into something funny. Keep it up.

Unquestionably the College's appearance portrays an undeniable religious influence. ROMAN, R O M A N?? Which TWIRP put this one forward? Any fool with the slightest inkling of History is aware that ROMANS were responsible for killing more Innocent CHRISTIANS & MUSLIMS that any other. Regardless,proof is in the pudding,Time and Results will tell whether it is an Impressive Piece of Religious Architechture or a Successfull Centre for Higher LEARNING.
Elabourateness of the Institution suggests "Lots of Moolah" just for maintenance before even considering the Best Tutors. Which raises the next BIG question: WHO will be able to afford to attend this College? Unless Govt or Corporations step up with "Meaningfull" SCHOLARSHIPS which allows the Brightest to Attend on MERIT All Expenses Paid (25% of Students would be REASONABLE),it will soon sink into a Prestigious hang-out where fat wallets come to frolic.

I've longed for the day when Govts realise that CURES for most of what ails humans' are growing right at their doorsteps, if only the Will was there to devote serious TALENT, TIME & MONEY into research. Perhaps,designating a Wing of this most Impressive Institution for RESEARCH,could be a Start towards reducing DEPENDENCE on profit-oriented Pharmaceuticals.

Far surpassing "uncool" is the presumption of Knowledge by the Ignorant or an Asshole seeking Certification.
The Roman Empire which supposedly "Fell", simply hijacked the Christian movement by killing off the Disciples,and effectively inherited Millions of Proxy Citizens willing to die for their FAITH to reverse it's demise.
Is why the Vatican "ROME" Today,is the smallest Country with a population which rivals China, without a single care about Health,Food,Clothing or Shelter for it's citizens.
Though Unethical & Immoral,a Master Stroke of Political Genius by Emperor Constantine who converted to Christianity on his deathbed, re-constructed his embattled country into a harmless Administrative entity, and Out-sourced it's citizens to the Enemy.
There was a time when being in possession of a copy of the Holy Scriptures or admission of Reading it,was punishable by Burning to Death under Roman Rule AFTER the "Fall" of the Empire.

And the dome doesn't look that Islamic. In fact, you have the St. Peter's Basilica (Vatican City) and St Paul's Cathedral (London) with similar domes. Onion domes, now those are more of an Islamic thing here.

Posted by: skimm at 30 May 2007 11:31 AM | Link to comment

a college like that is not necessarily a good college..its just a college for rich spoilt kids. it is the teachers who will make or break this investment and if i am not wrong, malaysian teachers are highly under qualified internationally. i've known teachers from malaysia who come overseas with great reputations and references but fail to achieve anything more than a part time teaching job.
Facilities galore ? its only a matter of time before the cleaners do not maintain their standard of cleanliness..but then again..malaysia has no responsible cleaners. everything they built, is left to rot. could you also list up their prices per term in your blog? then maybe your readers will see how education which should be made readily available to the general public has become a corporate privatized affair. should the poor not be allowed to enjoy such lavish treatment? your regular joe ain't gonna be able to afford the fees i presume? and i'm guessing that malays have priorities in intakes as well? not to mention possible price reductions? ...sickening

all in all, i conclude that this is a waste of real estate and money. its a college..its not even a university..people go to colleges in malaysia to study for 2 years or so before screwin off to uni..heck this entire college is basically a pampered break for rich brats before they go overseas

Kenny, how can you post a college review without college babes? Hahaha. Nevertheless, glad that Segi has finally has a proper campus, you should check out their business school in KL, it sucked so bad!

dear unimpressed...

school for rich spoilt kids... hmm... i wonder if my daughter is a rich spoilt kid... she studied there on a scholarship, she loved the campus, she told me she can't wait to start her semester there... i certainly do not think we are of rich family, and she is definitely not a spoit kid as she has 11A1!!!

fees expensive?? i wonder... i do ADP in Subang, planning to transfer to this grand campus next year...

last time when i was in taylors for their american transfer program, gawd... just can't afford la... then i transfer to HELP, GAWD!!! RM1600 per subject!!! not in SEGi, only RM1200! well, i think that's the cheapest on malaysia!!!

oh... did i mention their ADP is the best ever in malaysia, crazy funky lecturers... i love VIJAY (ADP BUSINESS LECTURER)!!!!

The funds are either internally generated or borrowed la. What's the talk about wasting taxpayers' money? It's not government institution.

Thought the quality at segi is pretty good recently...especially the subang one. The rest..no comment!

I agree with suertes on his comment.

Looks like "new money" spent in extremely distasteful ways.

End of the day, its not so much the building but the quality of education provided.

To DolphyN: There's always the 3B's... Beg, borrow or blame. =)

since all comments in english, now i will type up my comment in Bahasa Malaysia because i'm one of pelajar melayu here in SEGi college. bila saya baca komen yang diberikan, banyak tanggapan yang mengatakan kolej ni utk anak2 org kaya, tak pun untuk anak2 yang berpendapatan tinggi sahaja tetapi tanggapan itu semua SALAH sama sekali kerana saya bukanlah anak org yg berada. buat masa ini saya sedang mengikuti kursus kejururawatan dan utk pengetahuan semua saya hanyalah gadis kampung yang mempunyai bapa yg telah bersara dari polis dan ibu pula surirumah. tetapi kenapa saya boleh belajar di SEGi??? sbbnya di sini ada disediakan PTPTN loan dan juga Bumiputera Grant. Tentang kewangan bukanlah penyebab utama kenapa anda tak boleh belajar di sini. jom ramai belajar di sini!!! untuk bebudak diploma in nursing (2nd batch), u r rock!!!

Suspect a lot of jealous ppl, especially from other colleges flaming this thread. Just ignore them, Kenny. They are too small brained and too timid to promote their college that they resort to low tactics like flaiming.

Keep on doing ur good job and entertain us ya.

Most flamers here are spoil sport. Saying vandalised or somethin without facts to support. This paint doomsday scenario miss the point.

Agree that quality of lecturers and other 'software' important but hey...having a nice campus does help. It also doesn't follow that if your campus is nice, other aspects of the quality drop. Haizzz........talk with no logic.

KENNY SIA ROCKS BIG TIME

Posted by: kennylover at 30 May 2007 7:11 PM | Link to comment

flinkus, first of all, this is very much a private affair, nth much to do with the govt.

Secondly, your cynical view of Rome is but another perspective of history - we have but facts, everything else merely presumptions (like their intentions) derived from such facts. You cannot impose your general view upon a whole civilization for taken as a whole, in the words of Tatcher, 'there is no such thing as society'. The 'State' does not have a single embodied conscience. What you perceive may be a result of the actions of a few; it would be unfair to say the Romans 'hijacked' the Christian movement in that sense for that entails a systematic and purposeful act of conspiracy by a nation. Yet while some in Roman upper hierarchy may have seen Christianity's use, it's hardly accurate to say that that was the only view/feeling prevailing at the time for how can one reject that alot of those in command also took the religion as their own.

Thirdly, this college's designs have nothing to do with religion. It may look like it to some, but wtf would the architects do so? And why does it matter if it does? The truth of the matter is that they merely tried to follow Roman architecture (or Greco-Roman design to be precise) for it would surely give the impression of a centre for learning. Truly, to suggest otherwise is to miss the point and merely shows how easily ppl choose to see things they want to see because of their own prejudices.

Fourthly, if anyone thinks that it looks like a mosque, look again. I don't think you will see designs as elaborate as mosque designs in the college. Islamic design goes beyond an 'onion' on top of the roof (truly these are not peculiar to Islamic architecture - mostly we stereotype them to be). There are elaborate geometric designs in most mosques - again nth to do with religion, but more to do with the grand achievements of the Arabs in relation to mathematics and an astounding understanding of geometric principles. I dont think you will find THAT in SEGI.

I know that the environment of a college campus plays an important role , but this?! Don't judge a college JUST by it's CAMPUS! A building made of the same brick , stone and cement just like any other college ( but nicely put) does not guarantee you the same quality education or even the BETTER , other institutions can offer.

yea RR, i agree, everyone is entitled to the services as long as they pay...but wouldnt it be a tad bit hard for the POOR *ie. students* to pay for their tuition when they go for upscale colleges like the one here? i hv no idea about the scale of fees charged by SEGI....but considering the general poor's financial situations...of course, i know there are scholarships, bank loans, the like, but even still, not everyone has access to those.

then again, i do get wat u mean. fairness and equality. its a good thing AND a bad thing sometimes though. =)

Posted by: DolphyN at 31 May 2007 12:09 AM | Link to comment

The campus looks pretty good. Lecture hall seems quite impressive as well. Swimming pool looks awesome although I doubt anybody would want to swim. Shy lar. so many ppl looking.

In anycase, to me the best campus will always be the University of Melbourne campus. Its beautiful and has character. Always something new to discover there each day.

When Segi has some history I think it'll be an even better campus than it is today. Best of luck to Segi.

P/s I dont want to graduate.

Go Melbourne!

I have a friend who goes to Segi to do her psychology degree. She said the lecturers suck big time and the grading is extremely lenient. The lecturers skip classes and don't teach the syllabus properly, apparently.

Argh,
There is such a thing as "Good Corporate Citizenship" for Scholarships,which actually Benefits Corps by providing insight on the brightest through Mentoring. Govt Bursaries tied to Performance can be provided through Tax Breaks.
My contention is simply that GENIUS occurs for Whomever, wherever & whenever the chemistry is Right,and allowing a Foot-in-the-door on MERIT is the best method of Inclusion for those with Initiative to demonstrate their Talent.

It would be the Greatest Dis-service to the WWW (INFORMATION Highway) for us to Accept existing Records in the face of Uncovered FACTS.
Constantine converted to Christianity on his deathbed because for every Christian murdered,about 10 more would pop up which convinced him "their GOD had to be "For Real",and he was sinking anyhow". It was the Roman Senate (Parliament) which killed off the disciples and highjacked the movement. Does "Roman Catholics" ring a bell?
There is a book on the Origins of Christianity, you'd be surprised that GERMANY was very instrumental in estb Christianity, and a Protestant; Protested.
In WWII, INDIA put about 8 Million Men & Women in the Field, 2 Million under British Command,a few won the Victoria Cross, and are never mentioned by those who Claim to have Saved the World from Tyranny.
Legendary Gurkhas' fought to prevent an INDONESIA takeover of SARAWAK just 40 years ago.
If AUSTRALIA & USA (only ones)did not recognise Indonesia's annexation of East TIMOR,lives would have been saved.
Is history of IRAQ likely to mention that life is cheaper now than under Madas Sadam?
Does dropping a 2,000lb bomb on a busy marketplace inflict less TERROR than a Suicide bomber?

History belongs to the Fastest Pen with the Widest Distribution,Spoils of War. Honour,Truth, Integrity & Justice that Soldiers' Volunteer & die for are quite often casualties of History in the Political interest.

If The Iron Maiden is Thatcher you refer to: To the question "What do you miss most" she unhesitatingly answered "POWER". Her elitist policies still hurt working Brits today, many go to maligned FRANCE for more prompt and better Health care under EU agreement. Relative died in Hosp in UK not long ago. Family wasn't even allowed courtesy of Discussing whether to pull the plug. Hosp Policy informed them: We'll be pulling the plug and you have until 3pm tomorrow to say your goodbyes. Private Health Care actually raids the Public system and extends Waiting Time by tying up ORs for Elective surgery.

My emphasis on Research of Plants stems from the knowledge that the Jungle is a Bank of Remedies at your fingertips just waiting to be sorted.
Norm is Industrialised countries fund study groups and Field Labs,claim discoveries, Synthecise beneficial properties and sell you the new cure. Incidentally, Local Folklore plays a huge part in pinpointing benefits.

I will admit to a bit of stereotyping on the design.
What puzzles me is the Outlay for a College. Time will tell, I sincerely hope it fulfills the Promise of it's Impression.

Dear Unimpressed,
Don't sell your MALAYSIAN ex-patriot Proteges short.There are many Highly Skilled foreign trained Professionals working at Menial jobs (office cleaners etc)in industrialised countries for lack of Recognition,primarily to protect the turf of Local Institutions and Trades,even when there are shortages of qualified pros.I personally cannot see the Validity of a Federal Govt recognising a Diploma for Immigration and a Regional Govt rejecting it without BIAS. Difference in earning capacity quite often as much as $20,000 - $250,000 annually,sometimes more. Able Surgeons working as Nurses Aides,sometimes mentoring doctors on advanced treatments.

Oh Plainjane,
What could be more appropriate than "Plain Language" in any discussion concerning Education?
English in my case. The "SUCK" you employ so freely is abbreviated slang for "Cocksucker".
Without the benefit of extensive education,I've learnt from experience:In the breakdown of CULTURE,language and customs are first to go, then one morning you wake up with no more Identity than someones' porch-monkey mimicking for the reward of existence.
If I am unwilling to preserve my Language,WHOM shall I expect to do it for me?

aiya, wat shedfield no shedfield, go to any cibai college they will also tell u their cibai degree is from cibai london, cibai UK, or cibai England. (say here say there also same cibai place). But when u come out to find a job, esspecially inthe cibai malaysian market. Oh hey, they don't care where the cibai shedfiled or the cibai london or the cibai UK (all at the same cibai place) tested you. Or marked you. All they know is : "Oh, you graduated in that college". And then,they suppose you are one of those that pay money to get that education. Then they checked what u get at ur O level/SPM, then they see erm.....3As, 4Bs,3 Cs. Ooh, i suppose u are saying that u are a great scholar.

Then in another scenario. You go to an interview. With you cibai degree from NUS or UM (the best University in each country) and then they see....oh u got ur chemical engineering degree from UM/NUS, ooh, that is acredited by the british. Got quality. Got money also cannot study there. then they see how on earth did u get in there.......... they see "oh, STPM or A levels cgpa 4.0!" Wah, no nid say, u are good scholar.


Whether this kinda perception is good or bad, true or false is not important, the fact is this, ppl value u so called degree that way.


And the only colleges that can boast of their quality is none other than taylors and monash. These 2 colleges can take ur Rm200,000 and still fail you. This one is "Got money also hard to get" ------1

it is the same as NUS/UM or other top Unis whereby u "Got Money also cannot get in"----------2


1=2. This are where top scholar came from. U really lah, u really cannot boast of ur degree if u get no.1 a crappy result. No.2 You got into the college with a 8Cs,2Ds in ...... o levels.........spm........


Maiku, u got to at least finish one of the toughest exam in the world STPM or one of the most regconised exam A levels (singkapo one better) (crappy colleges offer one.......no use) and score these exam well to say u are a smart smart boy okay? Or else, u go die la, don even talk to me, u are not smart enuf, i only hang out with those elites of elites. Call us geek, nerd, intellectual ,whtever, we juz don care cuz u are not smarter than us.

I know I know u want to say good results does not mean sucessful life. OF CUZ THAT IS TRUE. But i am comaparing education thingy with u now, not jobs and money. So debate with ur cibai brain.

yep, that is so true....... well, ppl, u juz have to accept la, u are not the top top one. Not everybody is the top top one. So if u fail to be the top top one. Then u juz accept that u r not the top top one and go to segi college loh......

not the top top one, also donnid to die, like he say, when come out next time, u can also be very sucessful, juz that in term of education thing........yalah, ppl value u that way. But don worry, this world so many ppl, normal ppl more than the top top ppl, so if u're one of those normal one that graduated from UTM,UPM,Crappy colleges, u can also survive well. Juz that u cant argue with the top top one and try to top them up lah. But u can live a good life also, u surely can if u choose to do so...

Every new building in Malaysia always looks good.. 10 years down the road... i wonder. But since this is a private college i think they would be able to maintain the condition. Hope the students can keep the place clean!

thats the tackiest looking building i have ever seen in my life. i would be embarrassed to say i studied there

Posted by: zee at 08 June 2007 2:00 PM | Link to comment

it seems huge, but actually it's not.. i called the campus with excitement and asked whether the picture posted above is a lecture hall, and the operator said no.. that's actually an Auditorium, and just meant for special functions or seminars... and it was a surprise for me to find out that they have only two lecture halls! the Segi's website claimed that the Kota Damansara campus has a capacity of 12,000 students.. can the handful of 5-star facilities be enjoyed by all the students? *gasp*

and anyone knows how many arces is the Kota Damansara campus? when it comes to size, i'm sure Nilai college in negeri sembilan is much bigger, abt 100-arce. and the biggest college would be Tar college in setapak, abt 200-arce.

anyway, i as one of the potential college students, i found that the accommodation at Kota Damansara campus rather expensive - abt rm300+, for a twin-sharing, though i'm not sure what's the monthly rental in other colleges around kl and sj. and i wonder how's the quality of their lecturers? are they good?

I think we ought not to be over excited bout the exterior but rather the quality of the lecturers and students?

So what if they poured loads into building the pretigious-looking campus but poured lil into hiring good quality lecturers and maintenance?

Then again, im proud to say that Monash maintains high standards though our new campus might not look as smashing ;)

i would say that good lecturers scattered every where. i know taylor's have quite a number of them, but still, their lecturers aren't the best. one should not biased by saying that their college's lecturers are the best and then ask ppl to shut their mouth if they wanna criticize. nothing is perfect(not even harvard), dude!

Dear Kenny,
it is a pity that everyone been battling in ur box of comment.

There's no need to compare as long as we are lucky to be educated.

Think of those poor kids in third world countries.
