NURSING & UBD: None The Wiser
Written by A Puzzled Complainer
Sunday, 19 July 2009 21:04

This is just to share my disappointment. I am a student from one of the 6 forms in Brunei Muara. I applied for nursing on March 2009.

The requirement to become one of them is to have at least 5O'Level- I got more than just 5'O Level and was called for an interviewed on around May. Exactly 1st of July 2009 at around 2PM I received a call from UBD (as we know that now nursing is now part of UBD) saying that I got to sit for another written exam for Science and Math.

I was quite shocked that there was to be another test because last time there was no such a thing as written test for nursing. But that was fine with me. They said that they are going to tell me the date of the test again soon and will call again and I said okay. But today when I got back from school I received another letter also from the UBD but now saying that "DAYANG TIDAK BERJAYA" I am really disappointed about the whole thing.

Who is going to be responsible for this? Is it a mistake? Did I do anything wrong? Which one should I believe? I'll be going to UBD after this long weekend and the Israk Mikraj... Just wait and see.

UBD's Mistake Ruins Student's Future

Bandar Seri Begawan - Due to a mistake made by Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD) in its new intake for session 2009/2010, student Dyg Rozy has lost her job. Her mother, Dyg K, told Borneo Bulletin that Dyg Rozy was working as an assistant teacher at one of the private schools for the last nine months with a salary of more than $1,000.

According to her mother, Dyg Rozy received an offer from UBD through phone on July 6 directing her to get her letter dated June 30. The following day on July 7, the new intake was scheduled to attend a briefing at the Chancellor's Hall. During the briefing they were told to attend the orientation on July 26 and to begin their course on August 3.

Dyg Rozy was offered a placement in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences and is one of the first intakes through the Higher Education Centralised Admission Systems (HECAS).

Thrilled to be offered the chance to further her studies, Dyg Rozy sent in her resignation letter on July 9. Her family then held a Majlis Doa Kesyukuran the following day.
On July 14, the family again received a phone call from UBD informing them about the mistake and Dyg Rozy was directed to come to UBD on July 16.

According to Dyg K, it was not only her daughter who experienced the misfortune but there were more than 10 other students facing the similar fate.

Dyg Rozy, an A Level student at Sekolah Menengah Sayyidina Ali (SMSA), Kuala Belait, aspires to become a teacher and to continue her studies at UBD is one of her biggest dreams. Now, Dyg Rozy is feeling demotivated.

The excuse given by UBD for the rejection was that a lot of complaints were received against those who did not qualify and chose to decline her admission. This unfortunate event has caused Dyg Rozy refusing to socialise.

"My daughter has withdrawn herself from everyone. She said she is upset and embarrassed to be around her friends and families," said her mother, Dyg K.
Dyg K said that such a mistake should not have happened and yet it has happened several times to many other students.

same goes to me. can i sue UBD for giving me false hope? we are not toys, why are we played this way? we have feelings too, and what have we done to deserve such treatments? we, who hoped to continue our studies and sees UBD as number one institution in the country, were completely overjoyed when they informed us that we might have a chance to be part of it. they killed our dreams with such trick. a single GLITCH trashed our trusts. my point is, do not give false hopes. when i told my mum and aunties that i have to sit for science and maths test, they, as nurses and midwives, were very happy. they even had their books out and taught me about human anatomy etc. what will i tell them? it was just a mistake? a joke? as simple as that? they are my lives, my world, my love ones. i don't care about my feelings, broke mine, as you want, but theirs?
and honestly, i don't really bother being rejected, as i'm too YOUNG. i still have plenty times. though i'm too YOUNG to apply for any jobs, my qualifications are TOO HIGH that companies rejected my applications because they're afraid that i'm going to further my study sooner or later thus creating problems for them, and TOO HIGH for some jobs requirements (pretty stupid, trust me, i know), i don't mind. really.
if you can smell sarcasm, kudos.
and i need comfrom. i need a shoulder to cry on. obviously cannot cry on the mate's shoulder because he's too crazy, he made me laugh every now and then. and *probably* smelly.
so i need my baby. ooh baby dfj where the hell are you? i need youuuuuuu.
p/s: i'm afraid getting sued after this. pardon my indiscreet. =)
