Another blank - Malaysian universities omitted in Jiao Tong’s 500 Top World U Ranking 2006

Sad to say I'm studying in a local public institution.

And you know what? I can already imagine what our govt is gonna say:
a) It's a western/Jewish conspiracy
b) The rankings are flawed/twisted/biased (but the govt won't offer a more 'accurate' ranking)
c) We run our universities our way. To hell with their 'imperialist' rankings and what they think

Oooh, wait till the THES rankings come out this year...
