GOOD NEWS:
1. I am in the process of extracting information (not through inception) about our medical undergraduate course alumnis (basically find out whether they have blogs and linking them, or find out whether they're interesting people with interesting achievements, generally being a busy body).
The slightly bad:
1. Yes, if you were the observant type, we have changed our website name into Putra MDs due to all the possible nonsensical red tapes that Putra Medical Club (PMC) might face were we to put this under PMC since that's all under the faculty. Urgh, who wants to deal with that? But it will still report all the events that PMC will be organising, hopefully, especially the upcoming Annual Dinner and the Orientation, amongst other things. There's also a very big possibility that batch 13 will organize an upcoming Anak Angkat (Homestay) program next year as well as the Sunathon program. In any case, thank you so much for any support given to this website, and the strange traffic from foreign countries it's been getting. I'm sure it'll grow to be something more.
2. We also have to change our profile picture. So, um I'm not sure if we should hold a design contest with no prize but gratitude or whether we should randomly take a Google Image picture. Thoughts?
The bad:
1. To those lacking college "merits" (which have nothing to do with university "merits", apparently), we might be moving to 13th College, which is really nice to sleep over at, not sure how fun it'll be compared to 17th College though. The good news is, because a lot of medical students apparently feel strongly about this, we have decided it'd be fun to start an internet debate, (how exciting!) part 1 consisting of why the merit system should be supported, part 2 why it shouldn't and we'll have a neutral conclusion part 3 afterwards. Why bother gossiping like old men over at facebook, when one can have a systematic, mature discussion over a blog with which to propose one's view? Am I too much of a nerd? Probably.
What do you think of the current situation? Do you support the merit system? Do medical students deserve to be kicked out of the college built to alienate them from the rest of UPM? Do you even care? Send us your thoughts, people! E-MAIL at putramediclub@gmail.com! Hmm.. perhaps I need to change the e-mail too..

1.Its good to get views from alumni so that we have idea on how to improve.
2. It doesn't matter whether the name of the blog being changed to anything as long as our spirit is there. Do you agree? But bad/disgusting name should not be used!!! Hahaha!!!! We just find someone design the name and picture for our blog should be ok. Changing the email will make a lot of trouble, so i don't think it should be done in near time.
3. About the merit system and being moved to Kolej 13, I think we should gather everyone's opinion and try discuss with felo and pengetua. There should be a way out for this affair.

1. Exactly! And perhaps it'd be easier for our juniors to find sponsors (rich, specialist seniors) for Medic Night, right?? Haha
2. Who'd be good at designing? Give him the username and password la.
3. Don't worry about it, I dare say 90% chance we'll stay put in k17.

It's a great idea to pull out our hidden alumni! I think alumni are important channels to get us known in a way. I mean, I'm a bit tired explaining to the ignorant public that we have a medical course, and we're not vets.. I'm not a fame chaser or anything but at least, they know about UPM.
And besides, didn't most prominent medical colleges have strong alumni attachment?
Mira Adila,
YUP! I think having seniors will definitely increase site traffic and help medical students of UPM to be more visible and pro-active.
