can any malaysian QS who work in sg give me some opinion. My fren telling me that sg government didnt recognize the malaysian qs qualification so the malaysian QS having a low salary in sg. i am still planning to work in sg as i am going to graduate soon. but after hearing tis news making me feeling sad. can anyone provide me with more information about this ???
*
if i had not mistaken, QS are professionals with a professional governing body just like engineers... if you're practicing meaning really surveying cargo which your results will be on the BL/titile then yes, u will receive less recognition... but i believe for those in the construction industry, it doesn't really matter

of course unscrupulous employers will use all kinds of excuses to squeeze you..

as of last year, not possible. can't convert, and you can't keep your number.

If thats the case.... i have to throw my number away. Luckily only my family members know my phone no. I will try to apply a new postpaid by today.

By the way, if I need to call back Malaysia frequently, the Starhub $38 postpaid plan is suitable for me right? It mentioned that by just topping up another $5, I can call back to Malaysia for free, which is IDD 018 if memory serves me right.

still long way to go , now just doing internship with a mid tier firm .

btw , any comment on internal audit ? . does it provide good prospect as compared to external audit ?.

currently in audit department , but for future i might not limit myself only for audit as i see there are so many choice in accounting line ,( advisory , tax , audit , internal audit)

sorry about that it is getting out of topic.
*
internal audit is mostly business process audit... usually to detect fraud

external audit is mostly financial reporting... usually for compliance and irregularities.. there's also process audit

i would say external audit have more structured learning & promotion... when u give up, u can be an accountant... if u hav pro. cert.

for internal audit if u leave u can be a consultant... at those advisory firms/big 4

first thing first... if u manage to be an accountant fresh out of school then good... r you doing ur internship in sg?
