DBA degree holder also can choose to teach, i have seen several DBA holder teaching in Private and Public Uni/college. They are also a Dr.

i beg to differ...PHD is good for research works but not teaching. Public uni that focus on research prefer PHD, private uni focus more on teaching, so DBA is in great demand, u need to do a desseration in DBA too, so doing research sdnt be any problem for DBA grad.

Harvard Business School offers both PHD and DBA, both are equally good and can teach well

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_of_Bus..._Administration
website, there are 19 instituitions offering DBA program

1) Malaysia Multimedia University
2) Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia
3) Universiti Sains Malaysia
4) Universiti Utara Malaysia
5) International Islamic University Malaysia
6) Universiti Teknologi MARA
7) Open University Malaysia
8)HELP University College
9) UCSI University
10) SEGi University College
11) Limkokwing University of Creative Technology
12) International University College Of Technology Twintech
13) Asia e University
14) Binary University College
15) Razzen (Business School) cooperation with Universiti Utara Malaysia, Malaysia
16) City University College of Science and Technology cooperation with University of Ballarat, Australia
17) Stamford College Malaysia cooperation with United Business Institutes, Belgium
18) Pine Academy cooperation with European University, Switzerland

Go for the reputation, don't go for the price.

UKM is better ranked than UUM, UIA (or IIUM in english) also offering DBA program.
but we can only do DBA/Phd once in our lifetime, so must pick the best one.

U r talking abt 2 different issues here. First is the reputation of the university/ranking, the 2nd one is your own quality, whether u can excel in your phd/dba study. We can't comment about one's quality as u know abt your own quality better than others, but if yourself has the quality and u go to the quality/reputable uni, the chances u can progress well under the quality supervision is higher. Statistic also showing that those graduated from reputable uni have greater in demand in the job Market.

As I mentioned, we only live once, and most probably we only study dba/phd once
in our lifetime, we shd choose the uni carefully. Don't simply choose Uni A because it is RM5k cheaper than Uni B.

to be frank, I hv not found any good DBA in Msia yet. The DBA in Msia, after graduated, may able to get u a job ( teaching or consultancy) within Msia, but not outside Msia. Not many dba that offered in Malaysia recognized in western countries.

Same. If u want to teach, your phd/dba obtained from which uni is also very important. I got an MBA from UM, in fact this is the only uni in Malaysia that in the world Top200( according to the latest QS rankng), but still not many know abt Uni Malaya compare to NUS or uni chulalongkorn. In your CV, a doctorate title is important, and next important question is where u obtained it from?

No link yet, but i have confirmed with my friend from UPM. UPM DBA will start next year.

Cant find the DBA at UPM website
