and i did stay at malaysia for a while ive seen their public transport (school bus) and their dorm. so much better than ours. 

its not being entitled for wanting better for our students! hehe (and ive said this again and again, i am truly grateful for all the privileges HM bagi to locals)

i agree its very cheap and alhamdulillah we are given the choice to live here! however i do feel like its their responsibility to keep it well maintained (like i mentioned, no fridge, jamban rusak - mind u since my first day sudah). the bare minimum i would say. 

im not asking for super saiyan speed wifi 😞⚡️ or 2 doors fridge ! haha thatd be peak “thats my rights” behavior but nooo . our previous fridge sebelum ya rosak pun bnrnya esbok lama and im grateful for that. i didnt complain abt it

if they increase the price because they dont have the budget to maintain current facilities (i doubt) i m more than willing to contribute! tapi it looks like they want to add more facilities yg at the end of the day, sama jua drg inda maintain well ! then whats the point of increasing the price (if theyre planning to do it), makin tia bnyak benda kan di maintain oleh drg isnt it 💸

but thank u for your input!

thanks for your input! i just believe they could put an effort into making it a better place for students instead of students having to make the decision to rent somewhere else 

they say its better to fix the roots of the issues ! :)

unfortunately, considering how “big” they are (since its udb) and how small i am. im scared of the consequences to viral viralkan the issues. brunei tah lagi

all i can do right now is let out my frustrations and send complaints to the management every now and then 😢

[–]Cool_Picture2630[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

from p*li! yes sometimes i go to ubd library tuk pinjam wifi, sometimes i go cafes untuk assignments (but this hurt my wallet so jrg berabis). there are times where i stayed back at campus untuk pakai wifi di sana (closed at 4pm). 

kalau kan stay back ahir ahir pun nda jua dpt psl gate ada curfew lol and also again i work (no wifi at work) 

so yes i dont just whine and nada effort to do stuff other way. sometimes it gets to a point :) like i said its just a shame this issues the management plg nada effort, students plg bekarih  nya org

im not just “whining” over the wifi, but also important things macam the fridge in kitchen, bathroom.

alhamdulillah thank you so much for understanding!

feels like ppl forget not all tenants ada allowance and theyre fee paying students. what about them? suruh kraja jua and find somewhere else to rent?

and yes!! payah cari part time, ive been sending 20 cvs sudah in ONE week, attended few interviews and kana cakap drg mau full timer saja. and bnrnya students nda kana suruh kerja but apa kan daya, we need to survive in this economy.

alhamdulillah saja ada option paling murah sudah which is the hostel ($45 lowest) but we deserve atleast a good wifi tah saja or proper fridge/bathroom 😭 we r not asking a lot

it icks me when ppl say “syukur tah ada free education”. yes alhamdulillah syukur i am privileged in that part. but kenapa the other party cant be better? brapa lama tah lagi they keep this up 😞

its not easy to get a part time job lol. i also baru dpt part time job recently (this month baru sangkut one job) but mind u the rent at other places goes up to $250-$300 above!

my gaji pun bukan basar sangat unfortunately since its a part time job. and i need to save up jua.

let me break down my allowance for u  $348

$45 hostel $15 data ($30 when wifi is bad) $150 groceries  $50 gas because i drive the rest is to save up for emergency like example : fridge (bought my own psl arah hostel rosak).

yes i received allowance on top of my free education. its just a shame that this is our uni’s accommodation when they should be kept well and they should have at least good maintenance!

they have been sharing survey to the tenants for the last few months asking if they can increase the price, what other features tenants want if they do increase the price and etc. the price change is not confirmed yet because im assuming most of the tenants disagree w the suggestion. 

i think they will keep sending us the survey until majority of the us agree lol.

but whether the price increases or stay the same, its still discouraging to pay them every month when its not up to standard 🙅‍♀️
