Let's Send the APIIT-UCTI Monster(s) to HELL!

*This is a story written from the viewpoint of a young woman horrendously bullied by an APIIT-UCTI long-term bigshot employee... for a mistake she didn’t realize she had committed… This horrifying account had been immediately written down while the incident was still fresh in mind…

I was sleepy and tired. But I still had to drive 45 minutes from my apartment to APIIT-UCTI that day. It was 10 February 2009 (Tuesday), and it was a hot afternoon. It’s really not easy to work from 8:00 a.m. until sometimes 7:00 p.m. every weekday while working on your postgraduate studies, driving 45 minutes to attend evening and weekend classes.

I was only supposed to spend about 15 minutes or so at APIIT-UCTI that day to renew my expired student ID card and meet up with my dissertation supervisor for a short while. But I got a whole load of shit from one violent man that day…

Upon reaching APIIT-UCTI, I directly walked into a place where I had previously always walked into to get my various college administrative matters settled (eg: cert collection, student ID renewal). Unfortunately, when I walked into that area, I realized that the Administration Office had been relocated. APIIT-UCTI has this strange habit of relocating its offices on a regular basis when I was there.

“Hi, I’ve been away from APIIT for a while as I had been busy with work. Where can I go to renew my student ID card since it’s already expired?” I asked a somewhat lost-looking young girl sitting outside an Indian man’s office.

The lost-looking young secretary mumbled one word, “Downstairs,” and went back to staring at her computer screen.

I walked down a flight of stairs as informed by Dopey-Chinese-Secretary-Girl and walked myself into a little state of confusion…

What "Administration Office"?

So where’s the place where I can go renew my student ID card? I only see the canteen. So I decided to go back to reconfirm the directions with that silly young girl.

I should’ve just bravely walked up to one of those foreign students at the cafeteria to ask for directions to the Administration Office, but nooooo, I decided that this Dopey-Chinese-Secretary-Girl might be able to give me clearer instructions this time since she’s, after all, an APIIT-UCTI employee. So I walked away from the cafeteria, back to the office where the Dopey-Chinese-Secretary-Girl hangs out in (the very same office where the elusive Administration Office used to be located in).

So I got back to the office where the Dopey-Chinese-Secretary-Girl sits in, ‘cos it’s one of the first places you notice the moment you arrive at the doorsteps of APIIT-UCTI, located at Technology Park Malaysia, Bukit Jalil.

This time, Dopey-Chinese-Secretary-Girl took my student card, realized that it had already expired (duh, didn’t I tell her that earlier on?), and directed me to a smart-looking gentleman sitting in his office. And then I realized how true it is that a person may appear smart at first, but only until he starts speaking. I thought this very kind-looking Indian gentleman was gonna help me solve my predicament and finally tell me where the bloody Administration Office is so I could have my student ID card renewed and then meet up with my dissertation supervisor.

I sat down opposite this kind-looking gentleman, smiled at him and said I wanted to look for my supervisor and also renew my student ID card but wasn’t sure where I should go.

Picture above: Charming-looking gray-haired man in his office, or so I thought...

To my horror, the first thing the bespectacled, mustachioed Indian man at the office did was verbally attack me and ridicule my attire- blue jeans and blouse. He said it’s always been a rule that jeans are not allowed at APIIT-UCTI.

But I had always noticed other students and lecturers wearing jeans! Lecturers in jeans, usually during weekends. So I assumed it’s OK to walk in wearing jeans on any other day because I WAS ONLY GOING TO BE THERE FOR A VERY SHORT WHILE.

At the rate things were going, this Indian male baboon sounded like he totally wanted to throw me out through one of the glass windows surrounding his office. And I didn’t even know who he was! He shouted and told me that I should just call for my dissertation supervisor to come down to the ground floor and talk to me and I shouldn’t simply walk in.

Picture above: The gray-haired monkey whom I wish I could throw a cow-head at out of sheer "hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" anger.

FUCK YOU, APIIT-UCTI INDIAN MAN!!! I was still an official postgraduate student of APIIT-UCTI when you verbally screwed me just to show how powerful you are. How dare you!

How could you expect me to NOT walk into the college building and still contact my dissertation supervisor, my dear Anthony? I didn’t have her number. What did you expect me to do? Shout out for my dissertation supervisor, Ms. Rohaini, and expect her to communicate with me from the highest floor of the building whilst I’m stuck on the ground floor because you refused to allow me, a legal APIIT-UCTI postgraduate student, to enter the college building? You didn’t even volunteer to call her up from YOUR office phone, you selfish bastard baboon. And you didn’t even bother to contact anyone from the Administration Office to verify whether or not I’m a student at APIIT-UCTI despite APIIT-UCTI’s claims of being the best Information Technology institution in Malaysia. You wouldn’t even allow me to enter the building. So much for customer service from a STUDENT ADMINISTRATION MANAGER! Why were you so mean to me? What had I done to you? You don’t even know me. And I wasn’t even rude to you at all when I walked into your office! In fact, I even smiled at you. But then, you just had to start screaming at me!

Incensed at this Indian man’s rudeness towards me, I said in an almost raised voice, “Look, I’m not here to hurt anyone, okay? I’m just here to look for my supervisor. I’m already almost done with my dissertation. After this, I won’t be here anymore. I just want to meet up with my supervisor, that’s all. I won’t be here anymore after this.”

I kept on repeating “I won’t be here anymore after this”, my voice tinged with regret and sadness for having APIIT-UCTI treat me in such a dismal manner. I kept on repeating “I won’t be here anymore after this”, hoping that Anthony would stop verbally abusing me even though he’s only met me for the first time.

“Take her IC. Give her a visitor pass…” the Indian baboon rudely ordered his silly young secretary from his office as I was about to walk out from that place.

I walked out with my legs trembling… And was in a state of extreme confusion when the APIIT-UCTI security guard took my personal identity card from me.

While walking at the canteen, still very badly shaken after being verbally screwed by that Indian man, I saw my former lecturer, Ms. Margaret. She’s always been such a kind lady. And she personally walked me down a very much hidden staircase that led to the Administration Office. I think she noticed how dazed I had looked when I spoke to her.

Picture above: No proper signage to lead people to the Administration Office at Basement Level 2. There is another staircase leading to a lower level Basement Level 2- between the wooden cabinet and staircase leading up, which I had not noticed. Oh, and what horrible-looking plants!

I finally managed to get to the Administration Office, but was ignored by the staffs at the counter who refused to maintain eye contact with me though they had already noticed me because the whole place was crowded with students shoving one another, with many students jumping queues as well. For such a so-called high-class college, APIIT-UCTI doesn’t even have a proper queuing system. I waited until someone else (Lilian) appeared from out of nowhere to approach me as she had probably seen me standing there for too long already while other staffs attended to students who entered the office after me.

I finally got to talk to someone at the Administration Office counter. When I requested for my student card to be renewed, one cute girl at the counter replied, “Need to renew meh? But the guard won’t really check the card…”

I almost felt like kicking myself, and everyone else around me when I heard the girl saying that…And I felt like killing that Indian man who scolded me for having an expired student ID card.

WHHAAAATTTT????? What kind of an answer is that? What do you mean by “the guard won’t really check the card”??! I was almost thrown out from APIIT-UCTI by a violent Indian man because of an expired student card which I had so nicely asked to be renewed, treated like a terrorist, ridiculed like a social outcast…. and now you’re telling me that “the guard won’t really check the card”??? What is wrong with APIIT-pUCTI????!!!

APIIT-UCTI

APIIT-UCTI stands for “Asia Pacific Institute of Information Technology- University College of Technology and Innovation”.

Dr. Parmjit Singh

The Executive Director of APIIT-UCTI is the famous Dr. Parmjit Singh. I once saw him walking around APIIT-UCTI at around 10:00 p.m. after my evening class just ended.

A lot of students say Parmjit looks like Saruman, from the “Lord of the Rings”.

Many young people think Parmjit owns APIIT-UCTI.

Actually, APIIT-UCTI is an organization owned by Sapura Resources Berhad. The main Board of Directors of Sapura is as listed below:

Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Ir. Shamsuddin bin Abdul Kadir (Non-Independent Non-Executive Chairman)

Encik Shahriman bin Shamsuddin (Managing Director)

Datuk Shahril bin Shamsuddin (Non-Independent Non-Executive Director)

Datuk Khalid bin Abdul Karim (Independent Non-Executive Director)

Encik Muthanna bin Abdullah (Independent Non-Executive Director)

Datuk Shahril Shamsuddin of Sapura Group of Companies was named as Malaysia’s Ernst & Young (E&Y) Entrepreneur of the Year 2009 (Source). He is an alumni of MIT Sloan (Source).

Datuk Shahril Shamsuddin and his brother, Shahriman Shamsuddin, were recently listed as among the "Richest in Malaysia" for the year 2010 (Source).

For such educated people to hold ownership of APIIT-UCTI, you would’ve expected ALL of APIIT-UCTI’s employees to be equally as educated and know how to talk with proper manners when dealing with students. Unfortunately, that’s not the case here, especially with Anthony.

Anthony the Great

Great @$$H0L3, more like...

When I was suddenly scolded by Anthony because of my jeans, I didn’t even know his name. My progression as a student at APIIT-UCTI never required me to have any direct dealing with Anthony. Tragically, through an unwanted twist of fate that one afternoon in February 2009, I ended up in Anthony’s office to have him verbally fuck me upside down.

Anthony boy, I don’t see your name in the Sapura Board of Directors listing. So why do you act as though you own APIIT-UCTI? You’re only a mid-level manager at APIIT-UCTI.

Picture above: A picture of Anthony, Student Administration Manager, receiving his "Most Appreciated Staff" award (source). The award was probably as a means of appeasing the raging god of APIIT-UCTI, Anthony- one step short of animal/human sacrifice to worship this demented raging god.

APIIT Forum Extract #1

September 24th, 2006

Student A: ID ? Nvm… i think anthony is the only view the feedbacks for admin side. As if he goin to slaughter TP011303 (student ID number)

Student B: haha.. of course he wun slaughter TP011303.. but he will slaughter the ones he saw that day.. haha.. ray, jj, jy and ak

Picture above: Anthony on stage during a graduation ceremony. Yup, our dear Arrogant Anthony is also in charge of graduation matters. He looks into everything that happens in APIIT-UCTI. Perhaps never used to having so much power before in his life, he suddenly morphed into a retarded Student Administration Manager once he was allowed to be in charge of so many things at APIIT-UCTI.

APIIT Forum Extract #2

Admin staff: "tunggu skejap ye, kena tanya mr. anthony dulu."

Me: "okok." Both admin staff and anthony blabla inside. I LOL'ed at outside and chat with the new staff with other friend.

Admin staff: "ok, mr anthony cakap boleh ambik dockets."

Picture above: Bloody Anthony sitting on stage during APIIT-UCTI's graduation ceremony. Bloody hell, you're not the only person who's ever sat on stage before during such a ceremony! I've been through this before too, and I got to speak to the audience as well!

APIIT Forum Extract #3

Indonesian student 1: inget balik yagh yang pada balik.....mr anthony dah kgen ma klian....

Indonesian student 2: ^siapa nih? Mr.Anthony!! mudah2an gua gak pernah ada masalah sama dia tp kalau ngobrol bentar sih pernah dan gak ada pelajaran lg dr Ms.Anushia

Students, in a Facebook forum, condemning Anthony:

Based on the forum extracts above, obviously nobody at APIIT-UCTI is allowed to eat, breathe and shit unless Arrogant Anthony says so.

Picture above: Anthony loves himself so much he just had to replace other people's faces with that of his own. Anyway, he looks so much better when he smiles, right? His smile hides the fact that he's nothing but an arrogant bastard with horrible diplomatic skills when it comes to dealing with students.

I came to a conclusion about Anthony. He’s a Student Administration Manager. Yet, he doesn’t sound as though he’s qualified and capable enough to deal with good and bad students. He only knows how to show off how powerful he is, being one of the longest-serving employees at APIIT-UCTI. Having worked at APIIT-UCTI for so long, he already knows many college procedures and the “ins and outs” of all the rules and regulations of APIIT-UCTI. Hence, his amazing ability to easily confuse students who end up having to deal with him in his office, and always make sure he wins every argument with any student.

He’s probably already such an indispensable long-term employee of APIIT-UCTI that he’s possibly been granted immunity from ever being chastised for being rude to any student.

Perhaps the fact that Anthony is able to bully any student according to his whims and fancies provides him with an orgasmic sense of power and authority, something that he’s not able to experience at home because he’s never allowed to be on top while in the bedroom.

There is no point in complaining about Anthony to any “higher authority” at APIIT-UCTI because he IS the “higher authority”; the middleman between the customers and main players of APIIT-UCTI within that glass building. I have a feeling this Anthony has been at APIIT-UCTI for many years already and will continue to sit in his comfortable, spacious office for the next 20 to 30 years. He is the kind of person who knows the exact sugary-sweet words to say to his superiors, and just about any hurtful word in the world to little children who dare not question him. I have worked long enough to understand the exciting psychodynamisms of Malaysian office politics and Anthony fits the description of such a jerk.

No matter what complaint you may have against him, he’s invincible and will remain unfazed because he knows who to be nice to in order to safeguard his position within the organization. Complaining about this Anthony’s uncouth behaviour towards you is akin to complaining about a secretly sexually-deviant, morally-corrupt, and abnormally-decadent church bishop, in the sense that nobody will ever want to believe you because the bishop is supposed to be a holy man… and you’re seen as nothing but a sinful piece of rag going around telling everyone how your rights as a human being had been violated by this supposedly holy man... you can keep on crying and ranting about Anthony’s misdemeanours and nobody’s ever gonna take you seriously.

The picture above was taken from an APIIT newsletter from the year 2003. Yup, Anthony’s been at APIIT-UCTI since the Jurassic period.

Paragraph extract from that year 2003 newsletter:

Food was aplenty with both students and staff operating enough food stalls to feed an army throughout the day!

“Water! Water!” – Mr. Anthony was seen walking through the grounds selling mineral water.

He commented “if the customer doesn’t come to us, we go to the customer”.

Now which sick newsletter idiot came up with such amazing spin-doctoring to portray Anthony of being such an angel? Perhaps Anthony wasn’t that powerful back then and had to go around walking and talking like an angel, mouthing sickly sweet words of wisdom.

But geez, “if the customer doesn’t come to us, we go to the customer”??? Sure, customers for Anthony to bully and abuse in his office.

Sentence extract taken from a private APIIT-UCTI hate page:

Male student’s comment: luckily yr not related to anthony cuz tat dude likes to pretend to own certain land although em lands doesnt belong to him...

Merely Verbal, Nothing Concrete

From the information I had garnered from former coursemates, Anthony is in charge of matters involving exam dockets, student clothes, bus transportation complaints, international student visa matters.

I came across a blog from an APIIT student who went through a difficult time “complaining” about APIIT-UCTI’s bus transportation problem to Anthony. Read about this student’s story here.

The APIIT-UCTI bus problem had been going on for a long time. But Anthony’s simply not dealing with the complaining students in a professional manner. He prefers to show off his talking skills and managerial-level authority. I don't foresee Anthony efficiently handling this bus problem anytime soon. He'll continue to collect his monthly salary, as generously paid for by all of APIIT-UCTI's students.

I also came across another blog from an APIIT student who was also given a difficult time by Anthony. The arrogant talking style from the student’s audio recording sounded exactly like Anthony. Read: “APIIT Admin is good at diverting information”.

Here’s a picture of a girl wearing jeans (inside the APIIT-UCTI Administration Office):

And here’s another picture of a girl wearing an extremely short skirt (outside the APIIT-UCTI building):

I've seen many APIIT-UCTI girls wearing VERY SHORT SKIRTS before. One male friend who followed me to APIIT-UCTI once remarked, "Wow, I wonder how these girls sit down without exposing themselves too much down there. I was just thinking about this while you were busy with your presentation."

My friend's a church cell group leader. I can't believe APIIT-UCTI girls in short skirts just made his mind all confused during one short visit. And no, he wasn't allowed to enter APIIT-UCTI because he wasn't an APIIT-UCTI student. He had to sit outside the building while a sleepy-looking guard sat at the building entrance to occasionally bark at anybody he felt like barking at. I told my friend to NEVER consider studying at APIIT-UCTI.

I’ve seen a girl at the APIIT-UCTI canteen wearing three-quarter jeans before. I couldn’t take her picture because I didn’t want to be accused of being a stalker.

A student from the forum extract above confidently shared his view about many APIIT-UCTI students walking into the building wearing jeans (Click onto picture above to view the slightly shocking forum extract). These students are lucky enough not to have met Shithead Anthony.

This is obviously a very fucked-up college managed by very fucked-up small-time managers with very bad attitude problems.

Conclusion

F*ck you, Dr. Parmjit Singh a/l Meva Singh (Email: param@apiit.edu.my/ param@ucti.edu.my). How’d you end up hiring so many morons to work for you? I didn’t spend almost RM40,000 just to be tortured and ridiculed like this. I might as well have spent that same amount of money on a solo expedition to inner Antarctica for a wonderfully torturous, chilling experience. Bloody hell.

Picture above: Parmjit/Saruman's encounter with Queen Elizabeth at the University of Staffordshire.

Anthony’s attitude is so horrible he deserves to have sticks of dynamite shoved down his pants and directly up his anus. Lighted ones, of course. He’s got an ego that’s bigger than his head.

I spent almost RM40,000 (inclusive of transportation, books and unpaid leaves taken to prepare for exams) on APIIT-UCTI and THIS was the service that I got?

Student Administration Manager? WTF? Being a “senior staff” at APIIT-UCTI, Anthony might know the Standard Operating Procedures of almost everything he had learned up through the years in the organization, but in terms of dealing with students, he’s a totally retarded dingbat in that area. Which kind-hearted soul promoted him to that level and kept him there for so many years?

I’ve been an “Exemplary Prefect” before back in high school. I’ve also been awarded a “Best Employee” award once before at my workplace. I know how to be good and not misbehave! No need to scream and shout at me!

Picture above: My many badges collected during my high school days to show what an exemplary person I am. I good girl!!! I no simply scold people!!!

Picture above: Best Employee Award. I know how to follow rules and be nice to people!

I know how to follow rules. If you know how to talk to me nicely, I will know how to respect your ridiculous rules and regulations, Anthony boy. Unfortunately, you just had to attack me first and have me come up with such a long story in my blog today. I am not deaf and dumb. You didn't have to shout at me! Bloody Anthony. BURN IN HELL!!!!!!!

You can't rock into APIIT-UCTI wearing expensive jeans because Anthony will catch you and throw you into the gates of hell.

For a person like me to be able to come up with such a picture shows just how angry I am with APIIT-UCTI.

Anthony, put this sign outside your office next time so that people may know:

This friendly-looking dog has a mustache just like you, Anthony.

Here's a video dedicated to you, Anthony Dog:

BURN IN HELL!!!
