neither, american MNC...obviously you're too oblivious to the fact that mnc accross the world are cost cutting now...if i can get a cheaper candidate that has equal experience and aptitute, why should i hire the more expensive one? Give me a reason pls...

again you are throwing in other factors to justify your disdain for people with qualifications

Let me put it again: if 2 candidates with the same aptitude, experience AND same pay expectations, would you still put up the one with Zimbabwean degree to be in contention with the one from UM? If I am your boss, I would screw you nicely for putting both on par.

MBA regardless of local or oversea are useless due to majority of companies in Malaysia do not appreciate the benefit of an MBA graduate plus, there are plentiful of MBA graduates nowadays and there aren't that much positions that officially require an MBA anyway. so getting an MBA these days is just to syiok sendiri

yes you did. but calling these as "so-called good universities" does show your disdain towards them and tendency to put them to the bottom of the pile. i have seen people from ivy leagues talking rubbish. but i dont go around calling these institutions "so-called". either they are ivy league or they are not.

What qualifies local universities to offer MBA when MAS = bankcrupt, Proton = struggling, RHB = VSS staff, CIMB = MSS staff + shut down 22 banks, 1MDB = news scandal....

again, i dont put anyone at the bottom of the pile, i judge the person, not where they studied. I put those who i find not qualified as a person at the bottom of the pile...not those who studied at xxx uni at bottom of the pile.

I've not seen people from ivy league talking rubish la, coz i've never had an ivy league candidate (sorry but UM is not an ivy league uni...thats a fact! if you think it is, then you don't know the definition of ivy league)

Ppl who have MBA will say MBA is good and worth it.

Ppl who dont have MBA will butthurt and straight to say MBA is rubbish.

Simple.

But personally, its always better to have a higher qualification, not jz for the benefits in your career, but also as your self-personal improvement. Its always interesting to learn new things in life, and keeps educating ourselves. Remember, education is the best investment one can make.

well ahmad maslan is now synonymous with stupidity.

even though he keeps repeating that he is the top of his MBA class in UKM.

so if he is the top of the class, what about those who graduated in his same class but got lower marks?

it's like you are no. 1 in standard 6 but in the stupid class, anyone below you must be stupider than you right?

thus now ppl will ask you very carefully if you are an MBA grad from UKM, whether you are the same class as ahmad maslan or not.

tl; dr reputation gone...

my criteria for a good uni = the more ads they show, the shittier they are.

have you seen any ads for any top 10 or even top 100 uni?

no right?

uni reputation speaks for themselves, they don't need some branding/marketing to get students to come and study there.

their names alone are priceless...

no top scholar will choose a uni based on an ad shown before movies...
