Note that the letter stated that the MMC was open to appeals by students individually. And appeals would be considered in a case-per-case basis.

Noting that, a call to the MMC was made to ask if it possible for the student association to write on behalf of the students. Upon getting the confirmation, we proceeded with the collection of names of students who would like to return for elective postings.

A  Letter entitled PERMISSION TO DO ELECTIVE POSTINGS IN MALAYSIA containing all the names of students wanting to do elective postings in Malaysia was sent to MMC on 5th April 2009.

Kursk Malaysian Medical Students Association.

Tan Sri's Reply:

Please inform those who wish to do their electives in Malaysia, they can do so this year. I hope there will no longer be isolated requests asking for the same. Thank you.

Ismail

A follow up call was made to the MMC today, 7th April 2009. The MMC confirmed the news and that an APPROVAL LETTER will be sent officially to the university through the embassy in the course of next week.

However, as all the information published here were shown to our dean, and he is convinced that the letter will arrive as promised, students can start applying to the dean's office now.

We, from the KMSA 08/09 Committee would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all parents, student associations of RSMU, MMA, Nizhny and Volgograd, individual students and PPIM-KSC for all the hardwork and effort in the appeals to the MMC to make this possible.

We sincerely apologize if any party is offended in the course of handling this issue.

That's all for now. May I hope that your 2009 elective posting in Malaysia will be as fruitful as ever!
