First of all I hope this email does get through all the spam filter and 
reach you guys. I read the article about a topic of " IT HELP ARE HARD TO 
FIND IN MALAYSIA" that you guys posted on the mncc.com board (Wed, 4 Dec 
2002 00:58:28), ages ago, not sure if you guys still remember it.

Anyway I am a computer science student in Monash University Clayton. I did 
a 
transfer from Monash Sunway in KL to Melbourne and there is a obvious 
differently of quality for the lecturer compare to this 2 campuses. I am 
not 
sure if thes situation of "hard to find talent in programming field is 
still 
happening in the IT industry of Malaysia", but from the different of 
education system (even though is all under a same universtiy just 
different 
campus), is not hard to explain why the talent is hard to find in 
Malaysia.
I am not saying in Australia is much better (cause i still hear lecturer 
and 
tutor bitching about each other prefering different methods/opinion of 
teaching), but back in Malaysia, it is real crap. Like what you said, some 

of the lecturer doesnt even know what is going on in the course is more up 

to the student to find out for themselves.(we are not talking about local 
uni, this is the place where our parents pay tons of money to get a good 
education for their childrens).

My experience in Australia is that lecturer(not all of them) are more 
aware 
of the current situation going on in the industry and make certain 
adjustment to the teaching material. Is sad to say that I understand 
what's 
going in the I.T field in Australia more than i know what is going on back 

in my own country. As i was trying to look for some internship program in 
Malaysia i found none (although i do know that there IBM and SHELL has 
their 
own trainning program) but there is no where to be found in their website.

This bring me to my main reason for me to type this email. What is the 
situation like in I.T field in Malaysia? I haven't decide if i should go 
back to Malaysia or stay in Australia and get a P.R (which most of the 
student prefered to do because it seems like the RIGHT thing to do). Me 
myself are more interested in networking stuff and i wish to work in 
company 
like Maxis or CSA. Is there any internship program available in K.L area? 
(there should be but i just can't seem to find it).

Thank you so much for reading my mail, if i bother you that much, just add 

me into your spam filter.

p/s: for topics like Micro$oft or Linux or Business I.T student. Well i am 

okie with both Linux and Windows O.S. (we actually has a subject named 
Operating System that make the student compare the few operating system 
for 
pro n cons.), not like i support or anti anyone of them.(i do hate MAC 
though)
As for Business I.T student, i agreed with "Windows are turning Business 
I.T 
graduate into idiots", i have friends who's doing Business I.T and they 
are 
learning ASP.net and Oracle SQL programming, and they think those things 
are 
just a waste of time and won't help them much in the real world.Then 
again, 
none of us know what's the real world is gonna be like.
