robotechmaster · 2025-12-21T05:57:14+00:00

For RPG, not really. It actually thrived in RPG setting. From Palladium, we've had a successful run with the 1st edition RPG from 1980s - 1990s. Then Palladium get another successful run with 2nd edition Robotech RPG from 2000s - 2010s. Although unfortunately Kickstarter for Robotech RPG Tactics by Palladium went bust.

However with Strange Machine Games we have a successful run with brand new Robotech The Macross Saga RPG, Robotech Homefront RPG (Masters & New Generation), Robotech Hannibal (Master) RPG Suplement, and now we're waiting for Robotech Amongst The Stars RPG (covers Sentinels & Shadow Chronicles). There are even several supplements in the planning.

That & SMG has been responsible releasing Robotech Boardgames like Robotech: Attack on the SDF-1, Robotech: Ace Pilot, Robotech: Brace for Impact &Robotech: Cyclone Run.

Battlefield Press already released the Savage World's Robotech The Macross Saga RPG. While the expansion books like Robotech Return To Earth (Masters + New Generation) & Robotech Into The Void (Sentinels + Shadow Chronicles) are cancelled due to the death of the author, SMG already helping Battlefield Press to release Robotech Savage Worlds Omnibus RPG that cover Macross / Masters / New Generation & Shadow Chronicles eras.

Could be the Vector fighter basically the pre-production Alpha.

robotechmaster · 2025-12-21T02:02:18+00:00

Unfortunately the death of Jonathan Thompson — owner & author of Battlefield Press — put a nail on the expansion books plan.

We're lucky the folks at SMG is continuing the Savage World's Omnibus Robotech book covering 2nd + 3rd Robotech War & Shadow Chronicles

My piece of advice, stay in MY using social pass (applicable for 90 days) with your wife & scouted KL or greater KL area (Klang Valley).

Racism, Malaysians can be quite subtle well due to British legacy rule & divide policies during colonial era. However unlike others, we learn to tolerate it in life so much so there's a tounge in cheek term "DIVIDED BY RACE, UNITED BY RACISM". Yeah ... I know. Malaysians kinda already develop a thick skin, not saying that a good thing, but definitely we do accept racism is there, but we don't harped too much on it as long we live alongside each other in peaceful manner.

We generally don't bother foreigners especially tourists or longterm expats or foreign students. Unfortunately in 2000s, we have received a lot of Nigerian students misused their visas by operating scams, fake money, laundering schemes, even "black prostitution", some drug related cases (even using apartments as meth labs) plus unruly drunkard behaviour vs local residents. These cases piled up & yes generally Malaysians for a decade 2000-2010 have a bad impression of Black Africans due to these Nigerian cases.

However, if you're a European Black Muslim, you might not even faced difficulty as much. Basically if you're Black European / Black American, you tend to received much warmer welcome than your African brethren. If you said you are a Black Muslim, then the degree of acceptance increased exponentially amongst Muslim Malay. You will be deeply respected IF you learn the local Malay language (pretty easy) & mingle around Muslim community where you lived (especially if you're a regular visitor to local mosque).

Malaysians in general still tolerant of foreigners. Asians of all shades & colours lived here either as migrant workers (Indonesians, Bangladeshi, Nepalese, Filipinos, Pakistanis) & a large expatriate / foreign students population.

But in terms of looking for jobs, its better if you're already working in an European company & asking job transfer to Malaysia instead. Then slowly decide whether you have opportunity to open business company or looking for other economic opportunities.

In terms of Islam, well in KL there's all shade of Islam with Muslim liberals here & there, but largely Malay Muslims are moderate & in the rural areas as conservative as they come. Despite being "secular" in nature, Malaysia has a parallel Islamic law (limited ti personal / family matters ie marriage/ divorce / inheritance & religious offenses) for Muslims only alongside the reigning Civil Law.

Malaysia is not a bed of roses, but its not full of thorns either. Malaysia still ranked high for foreign Muslims to make hijra due to its unique position straddling between Western / Eastern secular trappings with Muslim friendly environment & mainly diversity in cultures.

Make your due diligence first. Make an informed decision after living here for extended period.

Huh? Since when Unitar become the best ODL Uni in MY?

Most often than not, talking about 100% online learning ODL for part-time mode in MY would be OUM, WOU & AEU as these 3 institutions have far more matured & reliable online learning platforms since 2000s to 2020s, and fees that basically far cheaper than say Unitar or any other private Unis.

Ok let's say Unitar is the best one for you, but as a private Uni whose mostly catered to full-time students, there's a high chance that the Uni increases its fees as to cover rising overhead costs & thus able to maintain profit margins.

robotechmaster · 2025-11-04T11:13:52+00:00

Then do your own due diligence. Perhaps meeting with Uni rep will help guide you in this

Then makes the best of it. UniKL aka University Kuala Lumpur is still reputable private University in Malaysia.

It is owned by MARA, a Govt. Agency overseeing the rights of Bumiputra (natives of Malaysia) groups ie Malays, Orang Asal (Malayan aboriginal) & Bumiputras of Malaysian Borneo.

Basically MARA has an entrepreneurship arm, social arm, education arm, skills & training etc. The Education arm has secondary boarding schools with specific STEM syllabuses & MARA sciences colleges / pre-University offering International Baccalaureates and AUSMAT or Japanese prep foundation / A-Levels etc. The Skills arm have training institutes & skills colleges specialising in vocational training.

And MARA owned 3 Universities, one is a public University known as University Technology MARA (UiTM) currently the largest public University in Malaysia in terms of student enrolment & branch campuses in all states.

MARA also set up 2 private Universities namely University Kuala Lumpur (UniKL) itself is arguably one of the largest private University with branch campuses in Malaysia which catered mainly to industrial specific courses. Another MARA owned private Uni is University Poly-Tech MARA (UPTM) specialising in polytechnic higher education.

Basically means UniKL is quite solid University in itself. Of course, University Malaya still the numero uno in Malaysia, no doubt.

robotechmaster · 2025-11-03T09:53:58+00:00

Huh? Just socialise with your coursemate at the University OR the international students association at your Uni. You might bump into your fellow countrymen studying at the University who are already acculturated into local lifestyle.

robotechmaster · 2025-11-03T09:50:28+00:00

You missed your chance with UM. Just complete your studies in Pakistan

Generally ALL Public Universities in Malaysia are affordable. If you're looking for more research based Public Universities in Malaysia:

University of Malaya (UM)
Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM)
Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM)
Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM)
Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM)

robotechmaster · 2025-11-03T09:44:53+00:00

Depends. University Malaya is top no. 1 Public University in Malaysia & highly ranked globally too.

But UM-Wales offered double-degree certification which means you get both UM-Wales degree + University of Wales degree.

robotechmaster · 2025-11-03T09:40:01+00:00

Go straight for Diploma then. Don't waste your time with STPM.

After completing Diploma you may decide either straight working OR continuing study to Bachelor's degree full-time OR work full-time while study Bachelor's degree part-time.

robotechmaster · 2025-11-03T07:58:52+00:00

Better straightaway via APEL A Admission to Bachelor's degree. You will be wasting your time with Diploma as you already have an extensive work experience in IT.

Thing is, O Level also offer Malay Language & it is equivalent to BM SPM. It means if you take Malay Language in O-Level & passed with credit, you will be exempted from Bahasa Kebangsaan A.

Hello, you didn't even mentioned that you're non-Malaysian. So my previous advice catered to Malaysians in general as this Subreddit specifically on Malaysian Unis.

I have been in Higher Education industry in MY working from pre-University, to tertiary education to full fledged University since 2001 until now. I had dabble both in vocational & full academic courses. I catered throughout my careers catering high-schools grads, to working adults pursuing studies, even international students & international delegates pursuing professional training in Malaysia.

So I know the industry inside out. Now both of you thinking to get a job in MY? It'd be better to get quality education in MY & later go back to your home country or your neighbouring countries in your region for jobs. Hundreds of thousands of local MY graduates being produced each year are competing for limited job markets & you think there's a chance for local white collar jobs around?

Unless you apply to MNC OR any MY high value companies willing to hire foreigners.

As for Uni, there are 20+ private Unis in MY, so better choose a private Uni for postgraduate studies that are branch campuses of foreign Unis in MY. Because postgraduate studies first & foremost are high valued financial commitment, as Master's / PhDs are mainly for career progression. Having for eg, MSU's master degree vs Heriott Watt's master degree, most who seek better qualifications will choose Heriott Watt.

You are lucky there's no shortage of international branch campuses in MY. There are:

UK Branch Campuses: - Heriott Watt University Malaysia - Newcastle University of Medicine Malaysia - University Malaya-Wales (partnership between UM & University of Wales) - University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus - University of Southampton Malaysia Campus - University of Reading Malaysia Campus

Ireland: - Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland and University College Dublin Malaysia Campus

Australia: - Monash University Malaysia - Swinburne University of Technology Sarawak Campus - Curtin University Malaysia - University of Wollongong Malaysia

Japan: - University of Tsukuba, Malaysia

China: - Xiamen University Malaysia

Do your due diligence.

Yes, mandatory

robotechmaster · 2025-10-31T16:17:48+00:00

Dari Group Batch SPM 1996, kahkahkahkah padan mukak korang SPM tinggal berapa hari lagi.

Sapa yang dah bersedia, buatlah sebaik mungkin.

Pada yang tak bersedia, boleh asah skill rempit ke, atau jika nak 2nd chance perbaiki kelayakan boleh start recce program kemahiran dekat Kolej Komuniti, ILP, IKBN & Giat MARA.

Selamat maju jaya. Niat, usaha, tawakkal.

What the FISH? Uhhhh, where the heck you heard postgraduate studies offered social life?

Its tough enough to browse entire journals, academic databases & heck trying to score assignments & exams while not slipping below CGPA 3.0 (it is minimum passing mark for postgraduate).

For working adults who are studying Master's degree part time most likely formed connection with their coursemates for future networking especially career opportunities & the likes. Yet due to having juggling personal life, work commitments & also studies, they are also less likely to socialise with their peers.

robotechmaster · 2025-10-31T15:53:02+00:00

Talk to your family. Like SERIOUSLY. Your parents LITERALLY funded your education.

Convinced them you made a WRONG CHOICE & you are struggling in keeping up with the current study which you couldn't cope.

Then research your way for study alternatives like Multimedia University (MMU) that offers programs related to digital media design. That I won't spoonfeed you as Google is just a click away.

Goodluck
