Hush hush

Strangely... nothing much is said about the drop of UM in the university rankings. Compared to last year hoo ha, this year it is oddly quiet. When UM dropped out of the top 100 last year everybody went into denial and started blaming all sorts of things and people, except themselves of course. And this year, nothing much happened. Is it a sign of acceptance? Or has the authorities somehow suppressed the issue for the fear of embarassing the ex-premier university of Malaysia? Yes, take note. The ex-premier university of Malaysia, for UKM has surpassed UM in the world rankings. Congrats to UKM and I would say they are being rather humble about it in a sense. Either everyone is so stunned about it all that nothing is said or like I said, maybe the media is pressured to keep things quiet. I actually waited for the whole bomb of this issue to explode all over the media but it did not happen, or should I say did not happen...yet.
