UKM-Law Interview

Yes. Finally I’ve time to blog about this. After a week.

Another important interview, after the interviews of JPA and Petronas at last year.

An interview to UKM for enrollment into Bachelor of Law(LLB).Unlike the two interviews I went last time, I had done a lot of preparation and 'homework' before I go for the battle ! Because I know, this interview is important enough to determine my future, although it's just my second choice. But I really hope to get to study law.

Depart early in the morning, but still almost late to there (due to critical traffic jam =S)..luckily it's 'almost' only~It is a campus located in Bangi, about 40 mins from my home.

Faculty of Law - UKM

My Name Tag..Lucky Number 39?=S

After I had finished a simple registration procedure, we were called upon to enter a waiting room. When I just stepped into the room, a weird feeling came upon me, I felt stress and unwell...I saw lot of my competitors, all with face of confidence and intelligence. But I know, I can't be feeling inferior, instead, I have to believe myself too. In order to relief myself, I started to mingle around, getting to know some of them. Found that most of the interviewees were leavers of STPM.

And not forget to mention something interesting, I met someone which is from KMM too, WeiChin. And she is from klang too, AND ! She was just behind me, numbered as 40th candidate...I wonder why everything happened so coincidently...An Indian girl impressed me, don't really remember her name, but vividly remember that her first word upon me after self-introducing was a question about results pointer and band of MUET ~.~…and met some malays which were from Law Asasi (Life is unfair arghhhh >.<)

After 15 minutes, we were called upon to enter another room again. I thought it was just a transfer of waiting room. However, I was shocked when I saw the officer was distributing papers @@...There was a writting test !!! Hmm...never expect this...It was just a simple topic : Where do you see urself in 10 years from now? giving us 15 minute to write a short essay. Yes, then I was starting to boast myself, like be a lawyer bla bla bla..enter Malaysian Bar bla bla bla etc ^^

Next, we were called upon for the interview, the true battle. And we were informed that it's a group interview, with 5 persons in a group being interviewed by the interviewers which is similar to JPA's. Honestly, I felt disappointed. I thought it will be an one-on-one interview, which allow me to perform myself and impress the interviewers more. Haiz >.<...but I think they are carrying group interview but not personal to save time as there's lot of applicants.

And hereby the interview started ! My group, consist of 3 chinese , 1 malay and 1 indian, and I'm the only masculine 'subject'>.< Meanwhile, there were 3 interviewers, all malay women.

First and foremost, we were required to introduce ourselves, but it was just a very very simple self introduction, even not touching about details like family background and co-curricular activities.

That was only the appetizers...the real challenges here came ! They started to ask questions about law..First question was a case study, given a husband who like to abuse child and a wife who has no job have divorced, then the child should be given to ??? Hmm....obviously, the answer is wife. 5 of us gave the same answer, just a little bit different in everyone elaborations and explanations.

Of course, the interview was not that easy. The next question screwed me up, they asked : Should Undang-undang hudud being applied in Malaysia ??? Yes, I was stunned. What the hell is the ‘ undang-undang hudud’ ? Gosh !! It’s about Islamic Law, no idea about it >.<

Luckily, 4 out of 5 interviewers also don’t really know what’s that. Then one of the girl immediately asked back the interviewers regarding the meaning of that law. Haha, then they explained it ! It’s a criminal law, stated something repay for something equivalent. For example, the hand of a snatch thief will be cut off. And then, again, all of us gave the answer as NO. It’s too cruel !!! I gave the reason that is, if a Muslim commits in crimes , then they will be judged under that law, but how if a non-muslim commits in crime, then they will be judged under the common law, unfair right ? Law should be a system treating everybody the same. Is it a good answer ? Hmm…

Lastly, the most tricky question , they asked : If you are offered UM, then you confirm going there, but not UKM ? swt….of course la !!!! If not why I put UM 1^st while your UKM 2^nd ? I answered it honestly, but still emphasised that course is still more important than university =)

The End of Interview !!! It lasted about 20 minutes, shorter than what I’ve expected. A Chinese girl, like trying to dominate the whole session, keep speaking, like not giving any chance to other to speak. Hate such person, why does she do so ? Can’t you give other chance to speak ? You can convey your message after that. Haiz…

In conclusion , I did well ??? Hmm..ok laa…….If I have to set a rating, 6 or 7 out of 10 lo…Haiz, not really good..as usual, a little bit stuck in speaking..nervousness kills..am I hoping to get UKM? UM is still better.

God Bless !!! ^^
