Changes in Malaysian Student Visa -- 7th October 2014

Introduction of New Compulsory I-CARD for All International Students

EMGS (Education Malaysia Global Services) has introduced a new I-Card, which can be used as an international student ID Card. This will mean students will not be required to carry their passports from now on. The I-Card was issued free from July 1st until Sept 30th but is now being charged at RM 50 per year.

As such, the EMGS Student Pass Processing Fee will be revised from RM 1,000 to RM 1,050 to include the cost of the card.

All applicants whose applications which are pending submission to the International Students Dept. will be invoiced RM 50 and this needs to be settled when they arrive at University.

If the card is lost, the student will need to make a police report and pay RM 50 for a replacement card. The card is valid for 1 year. If students change course or progress to another university, they will have to return the card to University to be returned to EMGS. Students will no longer need to carry their passport if they are holding this card. The card is issued by Immigration and is recognized by the Police as well.

For existing students, the I Card will be issued to students upon renewal of visa.

Student Aspiring Overseas Education – Don’t be Scammed

An eye opening incident of Tri-Valley University (US), which every student aspiring for overseas education should know. The article is not only about unauthorized agents but also universities.   

“Some of the best Universities of World are situated in Canada. These Universities have world-class infrastructure and all modern teaching technologies. All this put together Canada attracts students from all over the world. Number of Immigrants students has risen by 15% in a year in Canada.

 A university based in Virginia is supposed to have 2400 students. Out of this number 90% are Indian students.

 To enter Canada one needs a passport and Canadian Visa. This is the juncture when the students get cheated and fall into the trap of unauthorized agents.

“International Universities prefer enrolling immigrant’s students and which is why most of the Canadian Universities have raised their fees and entry criteria too. Immigrant’s students can pay twice the tuition fee of what the locals can pay. “

$20 billion is contributed to the Unites States every year by the international students. This makes the education the fifth largest export service in the country.

There are instances when these universities are not able to reach the international students directly. On such occasions they depend upon the local education consultants. Most of these are not authorized by the concerned Department. In the name of Tuition fee and processing fee they charge huge amounts from the aspiring students. The financial incentive attracts the agents to misguide students. There is every possibility that the student might select a wrong college or university as guided by the agent.

Many of these colleges are without any proper infrastructure and are raided by the authorities.

 Tri Valley University as raided in the recent past by the Federal Government. They had to shut down the University after receiving instructions from the Government.

 The receiving countries have taken different measures to curb this issue. USA has allowed the universities to pick up their own agents.

 Looking at the growing concern Canadian Immigration Minister Jason Kenney has announced that, “the immigrants must know to protect themselves.” He also said that they his department will do everything to protect the integrity of Canadian Immigration system.

So my dear fellow aspirants please choose your education consultant wisely and put forth your trust among the Most Trusted Name in Education Consultancy Industry, Zenith Abroad.

Entertainment in Malaysia

• Kasturi Walk: Tantalize your taste buds with authentic Malay kuih, Chinese dim sum or delicious Indian rojak. Or better still; indulge in some durian pancakes, made from the king of fruits! Discover what Malaysia tastes like with plenty of local snacks and specialties specially selected for Kasturi Walk. Here you will also find an array of traditional garments and souvenirs. Kasturi Walk is a transformation of Lorong Kasturi, a lane running alongside Central Market.

• Kampung Baru: Kampung Bahru is the oldest Malay residential area in Kuala Lumpur. About ten minutes away from Chow Kit Market, it was founded in 1899 and there are still authentic traditional Malay wooden houses there. On Saturday evenings, one section of Kampung Bahru is a hive of activity. This market has a totally Malay feel to it, and this is obvious in the style of jewellery and clothes, in the type of fabric, the varied tastes of Malay cooking and in the make of the handicraft on sale.
• Little India: Little India is a riot of colors, from the saris hanging from shops to the snacks and sweetmeats on sale from roadside stalls. Find fresh milk, various Indian breads and delicious mouth-watering fare from the numerous eateries. What better opportunity to sample Indian cuisine at really affordable prices. KL's Little India is to be found in the older section of the city on Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman. Jalan Masjid India is the main street of Little India and the whole place is delightfully reminiscent of a Middle Eastern bazaar with the arrangement of its shops and items on sale.
• Chinatown:
  
  Every major city in the world has a Chinatown, as does Kuala Lumpur, BUT there is a unique difference to KL's Chinatown, one that is reflective of the multi-racial harmony of Malaysia. Chinatown it is, indeed, but at its very heart sits the Sri Maha Mariamman Indian temple. Colorful statues and sweet scents greet visitors, and the bright hues of flower garlands hanging from flower stalls do much to brighten the vista. Equally colorful are the mountains of Indian sweetmeats and delicacies heaped on the roadside stalls that line the street.

TOP REASONS TO STUDY IN NEW ZEALAND

New Zealand is made up of two large islands (simply named North and South), plus some smaller islands also. New Zealand is located to the south-east of Australia, and is often overshadowed by its much larger neighbor.

However, New Zealand is pretty awesome in its own right way, and not just because it’s responsible for producing the genius comedy duo Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement, aka Flight of the Conchords. Ok, quite a lot because of that, but I do really love them. If you’re not such a big fan/ don’t think an HBO TV series is sufficient basis for choosing a study destination, then here are five other reasons to add New Zealand to your list:

• World Class Universities: With a relatively small population, New Zealand has only eight universities, but after all, it’s the quality that really matters. Six make the top 500 of the World University Ranking for 2011/12: Starting with University of Auckland (82), University of Otago (130), University of Canterbury (212), Victoria University of Wellington (237), Massey University and University of Waikato.
• Natural Beauty: New Zealand’s natural beauty has become especially very famous since the Lord of the Rings trilogy was filmed here. Also, while the country is fairly small (a little larger than the UK in total area), it’s also gloriously less crowded (population of about 4 million, compared to the UK’s 62 million). So no shortage of space to enjoy and explore.
• Modern Cities: New Zealand has some of the fantastic cities of the world, and also the universities are situated in the cities only. The largest by far is Auckland. Also notable are Dunedin (home to the University of Otago), Christchurch (home to the University of Canterbury), Hamilton (University of Waikato) and Wellington, which markets itself not only as the governmental capital but one of the most lively cities of New Zealand.
• Multicultural: One thing most of these cities have in common is their impressive cultural    diversity – so if you fancy studying in one of those so-called ‘cultural melting pots’, then New Zealand should be pretty high up on your list. Auckland especially is known for this regard. According to recent government statistics, more than a third of those living in the Auckland area were born outside of New Zealand, and more than 180 ethnic groups are represented. So, as an ‘international’ student, you certainly won’t be alone!
• Home of Adventure Sports: In what has to be one of the world’s most diverse countries in terms of the range of terrains and types of activity possible, there’s no excuse for ever having a dull moment. Take a break from studies by going glacier trekking, mountain biking or exploring the rainforest.

Still bored? How about skydiving, kayaking, bungee jumping, rafting, scuba diving or snowboarding? Still? I give up.
