If you have the money and the time, never do a Phd in Malaysia. Case experience, I did a part time Phd in law in Malaya University in late 1990s. When I was applying, first, the Deputy Dean asked me why didn't I do it overseas, secondly, my supervisor asked the same question, thirdly, the librarian asked me the same question. I told them that I didn't want to stop my practice as a lawyer that's why I was doing it part time at MU. The only other Phd student in the whole law faculty was a law lecturer who was doing her Phd there at the same time. She finished hers and is still a lecturer there. I didn't complete mine as work took up too much of my time. It was probably a blessing in disguise as I would like a Phd which is recognised as world class. Planning to start up my Phd again with NUS next year or by distance learning from Leicester University.
