Graduates of private <b>universities</b> are better, says <b>Malaysian</b> <b>...</b> Posted: 26 Jun 2014 12:54 AM PDT Published: June 26, 2014 "Private college graduates tend to be better," says Christopher Raj when meeting and hiring new job applicants. A council member of the Malaysian Employers Federation (MEF), Christopher notices that this problem is not only prevalent among school leavers but also graduates of local universities. "You ask them in English and they respond in Bahasa Malaysia." This comes as no surprise.
In a research done to find out Malaysian polytechnic students' reading habits, it appears that respondents prefer to surf the Internet during their leisure time (50.5%) which includes Facebooking. Only 8% of students prefer to read English literature in their spare time. According to Christopher, out of the 10 job applicants in the hospitality sector, eight or nine could not speak English. Since immigration laws do not allow hotels to hire English-proficient personnel, major hotels would have to send their new employees for some intensive English-language courses.
Similarly, Jobstreet surveyed senior managers and companies last year and found out that 55% of respondents believe that poor command of the English language was the main culprit for unemployment among undergraduates. Not only does English proficiency enhances one's chances of employment, it even helps improve one's salary. A research study confirmed that those with higher proficiency in the language could have an increase of 25 per cent in their salary. The study was carried out by Euromotor International in 2012. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

<b>Malaysian University English Test</b> (<b>MUET</b>) Guide | Malaysia Students Posted: 28 Jul 2007 08:58 AM PDT Ranking: 5 Students Posted by ChongMalaysian University English Test (MUET), first launched in 1999 and administered by Malaysian Examinations Council (Majlis Peperiksaan Malaysia), is a test to measure candidates' English language proficiency. MUET is taken by students who intend to pursue their tertiary education at local public universities since it is a mandatory test to gain entry into degree courses offered at all Malaysian public universities. This test is carried out twice a year, in April/May and October/November. Candidates usually register through their academic institutions while private candidates through State Education Departments (Jabatan Pelajaran Negeri), with a registration fee of RM60. Unlike International English Language Testing System (IELTS) and Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) which are globally accepted as the certification of English language proficiency, MUET is recognized only in Malaysia and Singapore (National University of Singapore, Nanyang Technological University and Singapore Management University). MUET consists of four components: listening, speaking, reading and writing. New test specifications have been introduced officially and will apply from MUET October/November 2008 onwards while old test specifications will still apply for MUET October/November 2007 and April/May 2008. The table below shows the detailed comparison between new and old format of MUET.
Candidates are rated into six bands – band one being the lowest and band six being the highest -- according to their test scores. The total score is 300 and the table below shows MUET band description.
Students that have taken MUET are eligible to be enrolled into degree courses offered at local public universities as long as their CGPA for Diploma STPM or Malaysian Matriculation examinations are good enough to fulfil the entry requirement. The difference between all these bands is that students from band 1 and 2 have to take two extra English courses during holidays while band 3 and 4 students take one extra course. Students with band 5 or 6 can skip the extra English course. Some competitive degree courses like medicine and pharmacy, however, require students to get band 5 or 6 in MUET.
