I'm thinking on going for Foundation in Engineering then moving on to EE after that. What are the job prospects of this profession? Plus what are the key subjects that are needed to get into Foundation? Good place to take up this course? Where? What if I don't meet the min req to take the course? Can I go take up A-lvs then go for the degree?

Yes, you may. Don't take it purposely if you know you want to go to UK or HK or wherever.
Why and where foundation?

I'm interested in taking up EE. Going for foundation would be the best option wouldn't it?
I'm thinking of taking it up in MMU. But then the min req would be 5Cs including English,Modern Maths,Physics and Addmaths. I'm worried about my Add Maths though. I have no confidence of getting a Pass in Additional Maths. But as for the other 3 subjects I have enough confidence to say that I can get above Credit for it.

What if I don't get a C or above for Add maths?(touch wood) What would my nxt option be to take up EE? I don't see any A-Levels offered in MMU. Any advices?

If you are comfortable with MMU, then it is ok.

I think you should think carefully on what you want to do, mathematics is crucial in engineering, at least in the course, you may find it overwhelming in terms of the material and the workload.

Well yeah I'm aware that engineering involves a lot of mathematics. I really can say that I can get As for Modern Maths , English. Maybe a B hopefully an A though for Physics. Only thing that's a challenge for me is Additional Maths. It's not that I don't understand anything about it, it's just that I have no inspiration to study Additional Maths back in secondary school due to the teacher being lousy. I know, I know I'm regretting my actions back then.

Does MMU accept A-lv certs from other colleges? For example I take up A lvs in Inti or some other colleges then after my As I would go for EE in MMU. IF I don't get a C in Add maths of course.

Is there a difference between STPM at St John's and STPM at VI?

I'm not refering to STPM but A-levels which are offered in private colleges.

Can you see the similarity in the question that you asked and the question that I raised?
*
Well actually the original question I asked is whether MMU accepts A-lv students? Since they don't offer the A-lv programme themselves. Sorry if I caused some misunderstandings.

A-level is A-level, there is no difference in where you took it. Just like STPM.

Do you see the answer now.
*
Yes I do know there is no difference in where you took your A levels. The question I'm asking is whether MMU accepts students with A level certs?

The reason I'm asking is because in their admission requirements doesn't state A levels. Or is it that A levels is also known as UEC? They do state UEC in their admission requirements on their website.

STPM and equivalent. Yes, A-level is accepted.

If you really want to be sure as to what is considered equivalent, look up the international section. There you see A-level.

Ah ok thanks.

If you're interested in Law, I suggest you to really improve on your english as it is a vital asset in law. A lot of reading and understanding is required if you intend to do law as the subject itself, without good English, sad to say it would be hard to pass the paper.

What I'm telling you is for A levels Law, it's pretty time consuming and hair pulling compared to the other subjects that I'm taking right now. Who knows how much higher the bar is raised for Intermediate and CLP later on. I would assume much more harder.
