Big Deal !
In The Star
My first reaction to this piece of news is to question the worthiness of such "achievements" in gobbling up a space in our newspapers. Nevertheless, I get a clearer picture of the state of our aerospace programme to date. If we are going to send an astronaut into space, how on earth is this going to be a giant step in our aerospace programme? I do not think that shooting a one metre rocket 400m in the air is worthy of any praise. This has been done by others decades ago and is hardly a secret. It would be a more credible news if our students had thought of a new way of launching a rocket or perhaps using alternative fuel to achieve a launch. I think we need to be more original in our approach. We have to learn fast from others but at the same time , not repeat the mistakes that have been made.
So my conclusion, big deal UiTM! You can do better than that, can't you?
UiTM students send rocket 400m into the air
BY ELAN PERUMAL SHAH ALAM: Mechanical engineering students of the Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) here fired a one-metre-long rocket into the skies and declared they had taken a giant step in the nation’s aerospace programme, yesterday. The solid-fuel aided rocket took off from the university’s stadium at 10.20am and travelled up to about 400m in the air before returning to the ground within 10 seconds. Project leader Mohd Izmir Yamin said it was part of their contribution to the nation’s aerospace programme.... |

It is alternative fuel. don't you even know how to read???? unproper educated person you are.
I think this guy is an ass hole. He only knows how to sit there and whine. Do something productive , you lazy bugger! Honestly I don't even think your degree even suits you, go and get a life
hi, you can refer Izmir Yamin for more info. what you said on last 10 years is wrong. you can fnd him achivement now.
So call Dr Cheah! , have you found cure to Zika or cure to any disease for that matter?, or just being super user and take credit of other people's hard work. Which normally doctors like you do. Lame person you are who like to busy body but do nothing.
