It is meant to quickly summarize your application for the job, but I rarely find one that is so mind blowing I gloss over their CVs. So, to me (again, personally) it is just a waste of one's time to prepare one unless it is specifically requested.

Especially in the job market in Malaysia, where writing in good English is a rarity, this is definitely you chance to stand out with a solid cover letter.It is meant to quickly summarize your application for the job, but I rarely find one that is so mind blowing I gloss over their CVs.
