We have Bac. Forensic Sci. now but…
Again, we never learned! This is a waste of money, time, and man power! We always have something SIOK-sendiri instead of fully utilise it. What a shame! Some rules should be changed for the need of current situation. I really don’t know how to express my feeling about that. I only can say what a waste, what a waste, what a waste!
IF they are not yet ready (PDRM and Jabatan Kimia), don’t simply come out something for people. This is matter of their future not a joke or for fun! You asked students take the course and then you tell them sorry there are not suitable position in both departments later. This is not for fun, they are not white rat in laboratory.

鉴证科学毕业生前路茫茫
Wyn then | 4月20日 12点44分五月即将毕业了,而我们这些鉴证科学系(bachelor degree of forensic science)的学生还像无头苍蝇般乱闯乱撞,前路茫茫,不知究竟哪一条才是我们的道路。
曾经雄心勃勃,真的想为马来西亚犯罪鉴证做些贡献,才毅然选择了这一个科系,即使当初的成绩可以选择医学系、药剂以及其它任何科系。
四年来,我们确实获得传授所有调查手法、处理证据、如何上庭等的知识,可是走到学习的终点时,即将毕业的我们却面对了未来何去何从的窘境。
鉴证科学系的创办是为了培训一群可以在警察调查案件时,协助处理证据的专业人士。当初或许创办人没有顾虑到,这样一个四年学程的科系创办后,即使真的能够跟马来西亚皇家警察局(PDRM- Police DiRaja Malaysia)和马来西亚化学局(JKM- Jabatan Kimia Malaysia)共同合作培训学生,可是最终这些学生居然什么单位都进不了。
当初为何要创办这个科系呢?如果他们的目的是训练专业人员来帮忙破案,则现在为何又不让我们加入警队或化学局呢?
皇家警察局说明,要加入他们的实验室工作,先要成为警察;要成为警察其实不难,可是问题就在:戴眼镜的人都不可以成为警察。事实是,我们班上同学有超过三分二都带着眼镜。
这个规则或条例也确实奇怪,我们只是需要到现场搜查证据,然后带回实验室检验,写报告,上庭作证,这跟有没有戴眼镜有什么关系?我们难道需要追贼吗?马来西亚的追贼的警察人员还不够多吗?还需要靠我们来追贼吗?这个确实可笑。
另外,马来西亚化学局则嫌我们的化学知识不够,不接受我们这批学生加入。若是如此,它当初在商讨课程时,为何不事先说明清楚呢?
马来西亚教育部其实很好笑,也有够无聊的,常常实施几年的新教育政策,说再用几年的时间来观察检讨,通常就那么一个五年,真的看得到东西吗?真令人怀疑……
最近电视节目常播“罪案现场调查科”(crime scene investigation)这个节目,也确实吸引了很多人想要读相关科系。最近,常会有以前的学弟妹跑来问我详情,而我,只能无奈的说,事情没有想象中容易。我们自认,电视节目中他们能做到的,我们也做得到,可是我们却却从未获得任何机会。如此一来,我们存在的原因又是为什么?
在此,真得很想告诉全部学弟妹,不要让电视节目给蒙骗了;现实中,是没有这回事的。
从以前到现在,警察往往经验不足,而在搜查证据的过程中,错失了一些重要的线索,要不然就是破坏了现场的证据;再不,就是因为经验不足而不能破案,大家都有眼看,明明就是那个人干案,可是他却能逍遥法外;这个难道就是马来西亚特色吗?
真正有料的人弃而不用,任由对科学一知半解的警员把整个案件搞砸。这不是针对谁,而是事实。这个事实很明显,大家只要看一看,究竟一百个警员里面,有多少位是出自理科班学生?
浪费了四年时间修读这个课程的结局是什么?我们什么都不是,找工作时,我们什么都比不上别人,因为我们“不专”——犹如他们所说的。早知是这样,以我们当初可以修读医科的成绩,让我们成为医生拯救更多生命不是更好吗?如果,我们知道四年后,会前路茫茫的话……这就是马来西亚吗?无奈……
When the PDRM started their forensic DNA database project years ago, someone already questioned and suggested that why can’t PDRM hires trained scientists to be their forensic staff like what Australia Police does. The PDRM needs to change their requirement rules for this purpose.
It is good they have Bac. Forensic Sci programme running in University. We need forensic scientists to run the forensic laboratory. Why they must go through Police cadet academy programme for months or years if they want to work in PDRM forensic lab?
Why need to remove your pants when you want to fart ?

inspired from where? CSI? HK dramas? X-Files?
KJ: I believe it is inspired from the idea to have Malaysian DNA database for forensic usage.

~ Solving crime with science
~ Measures in place to protect DNA data

=)
there is only one Malaysia university offer this course…
beside, some of my friends halt to apply this course after they do ‘research’ and know this is not recognize by the both parties…

Hahaha…removing pants to fart; great illustration! I agree.
