The Shame Of USM

GEORGE TOWN: A technical blunder on Universiti Sains Malaysia’s (USM) official website has created confusion among 4,574 students about their eligibility to enter the university.
And USM deputy vice-chancellor (Academic and International Affairs) Prof Ahmad Shukri Mustapa Kamal apologised unreservedly for it. The students, who had received offer letters via soft copies on the website, were left disappointed when they were told of a technical mistake by USM.
The university had wrongfully uploaded all the names, together with 3,599 successful applicants, on the website.

1. How can this episod happen in such reputable university of the country ?

2. We can imagine the great anger of the students and parents fooled by the university and start blaming the authority in general;

3. I think those who made such mistake should take full responbility and resign;

4. I urge the Higher Education Ministry to take swift action to investigate and chase away the person/s who ashame the country and check thoroughly if this matter was done deliberately ?!

5. After JPA scholarship drama, dont' you think that this is another episod circus ? How can it be happened within weeks time ?
