Bandar Seri Begawan - Due to a mistake made by Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD) in its new intake for session 2009/2010, student Dyg Rozy has lost her job. Her mother, Dyg K, told Borneo Bulletin that Dyg Rozy was working as an assistant teacher at one of the private schools for the last nine months with a salary of more than $1,000.

According to her mother, Dyg Rozy received an offer from UBD through phone on July 6 directing her to get her letter dated June 30. The following day on July 7, the new intake was scheduled to attend a briefing at the Chancellor's Hall. During the briefing they were told to attend the orientation on July 26 and to begin their course on August 3.

Dyg Rozy was offered a placement in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences and is one of the first intakes through the Higher Education Centralised Admission Systems (HECAS).

Thrilled to be offered the chance to further her studies, Dyg Rozy sent in her resignation letter on July 9. Her family then held a Majlis Doa Kesyukuran the following day.

On July 14, the family again received a phone call from UBD informing them about the mistake and Dyg Rozy was directed to come to UBD on July 16.

According to Dyg K, it was not only her daughter who experienced the misfortune but there were more than 10 other students facing the similar fate.

Dyg Rozy, an A Level student at Sekolah Menengah Sayyidina Ali (SMSA), Kuala Belait, aspires to become a teacher and to continue her studies at UBD is one of her biggest dreams. Now, Dyg Rozy is feeling demotivated.

The excuse given by UBD for the rejection was that a lot of complaints were received against those who did not qualify and chose to decline her admission. This unfortunate event has caused Dyg Rozy refusing to socialise.

"My daughter has withdrawn herself from everyone. She said she is upset and embarrassed to be around her friends and families," said her mother, Dyg K.

Dyg K said that such a mistake should not have happened and yet it has happened several times to many other students.
