2. INTRODUCTION: Plagiarism is the practice of taking someone else's work or
ideas and passing them off as one's own. This can be considered as crime. It
is absolutely a growing problem at universities, resulting the students to rely
heavily on technology which is as everyone knows;our 'superman', the
internet. Therefore, the issue that might existed during Festival Konvokesyen
Universiti Malaya (FESKUM) will be the plagiarism, on how they managed to
be graduated, with or without plagiarism?
OBJECTIVE: In this research, we will see our graduated students' view about
this issue,the bad and good impact of this issue and how to manage this
problem.

department.

3. GOOD SIDE
Taking idea from the internet such as articles, document, and journal from other
writers are basically wrong, but under certain condition it can be legal. We must
put quotation marks and a proper citation at the end of the articles, claiming to
have used another source only and only for the informations. Therefore, the
good part in 'legal plagiarism' is that the combination of ideas of students and
ideas from the internet and technology will form a strong and cohessive final
abstract.
BAD SIDE
Students will leaning to be dependent on technology and copying what others
had done before, and eventually students does not acquire a greater
understanding of the materials as the result of the research. It is also
considered as a silent crime to have copied what before us has done. It will be
a waste to be given an assignment to them but at the end they get nothing and
has no input. This is one of the factor contribute to 'non quality graduated
students'.

4. SOLUTION AND SUGGESTION
To make sure the students stop doing plagiarism, lecturers or professors should
have use technolgy provided as well to discover whether their student copy and
paste all the information given on the internet or not. There is an online checker
that can be use by lecturers to know the weightage and percentage on how
often the same exact words from internet being used. Apart from that, students
him or herself must has self-reflection to not plagiarise. This can be done by
doing their own idea and reflection at first place by doing their own reseaches
without struggling to investigate what is in the internet. Another way to make
sure that nobody can 'steal' their idea is that by having copyright for their idea.
Copyright is the exclusive legal right, given to an originator or an assignee to
print, publish, perform, film, or record literary, artistic, or musical material, and to
authorize others to do the same.

5. CONCLUSION
Based on this research, i found out that most of the graduated students in
Universiti Malaya did not plagiarise, but they insist that they used the ideas only
for their assignments. They used science and technology wisely, and most of
the lecturers were using the technology as well to rate their works.They realised
on how important to understand what they were doing in university because
they know that those assignments were given to them on purpose which is to
prepare them for the real field work later after they graduated. They basically do
not mind about the marks given but they put more priority on how to understand
and take all the knowledge that they can gain while doing the course work and
projects. One of the graduated students that i interviewed said,'if we lose the
game,make sure that we dont lose the lesson'.
