ok first of all
i choose biotech because i like genetics, research.
but in malaysia this field is not very developed
so will be difficult to get job and go for far
and i searched internet
in usa, almost 40% of biotechnologists are phd holders
it means u cant go very far with your degree
u really need to be expert on the field u going to research
i cant deny that i got a bit regret choosing biotech because of the job prospects in malaysia
but in term of course, things that i going to be study, i really like it
plus i love teaching
so my aim is to become a lecturer
so that i can research and teach
and most ipta and ipts in malaysia require the lecturers to have phd
actually does malaysia lack of bio or che phd?
can give some advice ?
thanks
correct me if i am wrong

I'm a biotech graduate and now doing master in medical science, majoring in medical microbiology, where my research title is to screen, identify and produce a bacteria protein.
I would advice you to aim for overseas study for your future.
Personally I want to further phd is because I really want to be expert in the field of my study, as well as self achievement. I never think of becoming a lecturer, but I do think of taking as a full time researcher as my career. If there is no vacancy in local, I will go to overseas.
A bio phd? well, is depends on which particular field. I plan to do synthetic biology in my future.

I worked as RA at UKM for 1.5 years before i went to ANU for my PhD...Originally decided to do my PhD in UKM..but half way thru, i decided to give it a shot to apply overseas...
I have a biochemistry BSc..Now doing PhD in protein engineering and crystallography..
To be frank, career for a PhD holder will only stabilize in your 30s...if you decide to go for it, you'll have to brace yourself for that..PhD is not for the faint of heart..
wow highwind85, i do think of crystallizing my new found protein. is it possible i sent to you for x-ray diffraction? This is because I can't find people in Msia doing this. Nice to meet a structural biologist here. I have a biochemistry BSc..Now doing PhD in protein engineering and crystallography..

RM2.5k is high..but bear in mind not all pay that well for PhD candidates..
NSF pays rm2.3k, USM fellowship around Rm2.1k with yearly increment, and UKM rm1.6k if BSc qualification or rm1.8k MSc qualification (subject to Supervisor's research grant)..
And not all universities require the findings to be published..but it is very encouraged that PhD students publish their findings as this will boost your CV..
well.. I already got 1 paper done and to be submitted, 2 papers writing up... but damn, i'm still doing my master... ==''NSF pays rm2.3k, USM fellowship around Rm2.1k with yearly increment, and UKM rm1.6k if BSc qualification or rm1.8k MSc qualification (subject to Supervisor's research grant)..

Reason of me wanting to get a PhD cause I'm majoring in Psychology, want to go deep into child development, for the sake of my future kids or better environment in related field. Still stuck in degree now. 
I thought a "cane" will be always the best tool?
