The newspaper article that came out last sunday states that it should be harder for Malaysians to work in UK under the HSMP (Highly Skilled Migrant Programme). Among the criteria are
a) Need 2 possess british degree/masters
b) speak good english
c) and i think must already earn at least £18k pa with current job.

I think the killer should be option c). Who makes that much in a year anyways (besides businessman)!

There is another way to come to work in UK, and that is through working permit applied by the UK employer on your behalf. It's no secret that alot of big 4 auditors in Malaysia has gone over to UK through this method. So if you are an auditor, you're in luck. If not, good luck. But there might be other means which I do not know of. Anyone care to share?
