University of Plymouth

The University of Plymouth, a place I pursued my first degree and master degree, is the largest university in the southwest of UK. The high student population makes it become one of the largest UK university.

The Guardian's national university league table ranked University of Plymouth 40th in 2006 and 35th in 2007 and it describle the university as "forward think university"

Proudly to say, that School of Computing, Communication & Electronics was rated 5 in the recent Research Assessment Exercise - denoting international execllence. My studying life in Plymouth is amazing part in my life. I spent great time with my friends and my lectures there. Plymouth people are friendly and helpful and there is a peaceful heaven in my view. Last, since southwest is low economic zone the living expenses is consider cheap compare with other majar english cities and if you are lucky enough you can get employed by MDEC center, Royal Mail just like me, they will pay you a great wages.

If you interested in studying at University of Plymouth, you can contact me to discuss in further. E-mail: ryan.inti@gmail.com.

KL Traffic Jam

I stay at Sg. Long and work at Tmn Maluri (Cheras) where is a place of 19km far away. Usually It should take me about 20 minutes; and it is when I go there on every Saturday morning. But during the weekdays driving is a nightmare for me. It can take me as long as two hours.. OH MY GOD... I guess there are only two parties should appreciate traffic jam, one is radio station; the other is...em.. petrol station I guessed.











I should say I am a lucky person, because the traffic jam in Beijing, Shanghai is even more awful and lucky I am not living there. I should not compliant too much. But what I heard and I have seen is most of big cities should have "A good public transport system", and just be honest the communist China did well. (The recent news report that Beijing local government decide to reduce bus ticket price to RM0.1 per trip). Another example is London, they did fantastic job.
My view is if government cannot solve the "traffic jam" problem, at least they should try their best in building up an "acceptable" public transport system. I guess Datos' and big officers do not really understand that in this country, most of citizens (doesn't matter Malay or Chinese or Indian), or even most of foreigners, tourists do not have that financial ability to buy a car, even a kancil. (possibly the cheapest car in Malaysia)
To realise Wawasan 2020, I believe transport system is definitely one of the top 10 critical matter. Could it be solved in the coming 13 years? I have no answer.
