For young talent like you who major in finance, the only advise that can think of is Sg, HK & China. It's a pity looking at wats available in the local market. No point wasting your precious time follow the local 'rat race' chasing small little kosong pie. Sg, HK & China are financial hubs and many MNCs set up their HQs there. What is My? Hub of tongkat, BS, cakap kosong, politicking, racist fanatics, BN/PR blah blah all tons of rubbish.
Wat you need is to build up a good resume ie joining well established company, even salary could be lower but reputation and relevant experience count in the end. Sky is the limit for those in finance/accounting in Sg, HK & China. It is mind bogging to hear the remunerations of those in finance and banking sector. Those early 30+ achieve 5 figures is nothing unless you are taking abt multiple 5 figures.
Friend of mine a CFO mentioned for those high flyers, their track record was very important. When you are freshies, people will look at consistency of your education achievements up to secondary. When you have experience, work experience counts. Tat's incl the companies that you joint, relevant job scope/experience etc.
Thereafter, after achieving some good track record overseas, then consider returning, pending whether Idris Jala is correct whether country will bankrupt by 2019, Ibrahim Ali and bunch of BS still around etc.
In My, to make real money, only alternative is business/right investments. Rich under employment, probably top 1-3% in the co plus restriction of NEP tons of BS restrict your growth. Things diff in SG, HK and China.
A lot of us, yup we may start early in monopoly game, but many are stuck in sunset industries, red ocean industries etc. Tat's why many resort to property investments as passive income. If only we can turn back time and join the blue ocean industries, oh well. Freshies should be very care what industry they are joining, even what books to study in uni. Study wrong books, opps, like many others with great results but salary not amazing. Again, study and work is different. Like friend of mine the SPM graduated businessman, looking at the way he negotiates, understanding of the market supply/demand, knowing how to work within the laws, rules, restriction and getting things approved, can even put a a PHD to shame.
Our generation X those in IT, telecom, account doing better than docs, engineers and lawyers. Don't know abt generation Y.
Another thing, don't believe too much those ETP, AP whatever. How are you so sure they will boost future property price? Let them prove first. Already enough white elephants and cock happening during the Legendary Old Man era, same pattern happening today. First of all, they are not sincere enough. Talk about ETP but you have Edu Minister than screw our education, cow head/bull head party going around, IA taking nonsense in main media etc allows to go around. You dare put faith in these bunch of BS to achieve 2020?
Ok, enough s@@t for the day. May all the BS be with the politicians and their cronies.

Just check the schedule of mega development plans of Sg IRs/MRTs, HK Kai Tak redevelopment, all happen during time of uncertainly and crisis. Getting best price for mega projects and create employment to local people. 1 stone = 2 birds.
Tat's to show how smart the gomen cp to My distorted brain dumbo. Development plans only prior to GE. Cakap kosong, money gone.
As a M'sian (33 yr old engineer) who has been working in UK for 10 years after graduated from the Uni, I am not sure when I will return to M'sia. I read a lots about the M'sia negative news online such as high rate of crime, high cost of living, unfair system to non-bumi etc. But here is different, low crime rate, employee right is highly respected, fair system to everyone regardless your colour etc. I work hard and get rewarded (overtime) and highly respected by Directors and colleagues. In the Western society, they look after employees including foreigners who work hard and contribute to the society. I am not too sure if this the same in M'sia? I always think I will go back as my parents and friends are there but in the meantime I worry I will regret if I go back too soon. I am kind of stuggle because I miss friends and family but at the same time I want to be succussful and achieve something for myself. Any senior/uncle advice will help me to clear my mind, thanks.
