APEX

well, after induction, i have a clearer picture about APEX.. ade byk misunderstood on this APEX yer kwn2.. recently, based on top 100 universities in Asia, UM led the universities in M'sia.. USM ranked 3rd.. many people commented this way.. kalau APEX kenapa 3rd? well, USm sebenarnye bukanlah lagi universiti APEX.. USM masih dlm menjayakan program APEX.. what is our aim? if i'm not mistake, in 2015, we aim to be top 100 universities in the world.. in 2020 we want to be top 50 universities in the world.. every university has to come up with a proposal to be under this APEX programme, luckily USM got it.. why? many said because our vice chancellor of USM came up with a good presentation.. much2 better than other universities on our vision n mission n other things that convinced KPT.. actually to get more money from the usual allocation.. in order to achieve the rank.. in fact we havent got the money yet.. to get into the APEX programme, is actually to get the money so that we can have more research, better environment to work, better salary and of coz.. the outcome is.. the ranking that we aim for.. the admin people (higher) have been working very hard to get the money to convince KPT, to bring USM forward.. we want to make bussiness unusual.. bla bla bla.. mcm2 la.. i agree, UM always led other universities in certain aspect n areas.. every university is unique.. but probably, the vision that we have, with good VC.. we are not fighting with UM, but we want to achive our target or vision to be 50 top universities in the world by 2020.. it is not a competition among universities.. enough say?? well, we'll see how USm will perform in this coming yearss
