As an Indian, your only hope is international companies (HP, Dell, Intel, etc.) - they actually prefer Indians to an extent since we don't demand too much, and are able to work in teams - my siblings are working for intl' companies. I decided to join local, and see the crap first hand. Now, I'm looking for other jobs and hoping for opening in these intl' companies. Other companies are those Malaysian CEOs who are educated overseas and come back open business - they're nice.

Obviously, I'm talking about the professional Indians la. Trust me, there are a lot of problems within the Indian community that just proves the stigma - rude and lazy.

This is correct. Standard practice, even for selling instruments to govt agencies. Best part is, the govt knows this, and it has become essential when doing business with the govt. My company offered the lowest price for a quotation, but it is awarded to the bumi company which is 10% higher from our price. The bumi company has nothing to do with our field (engineering), I think it's just a stationary shop, but we go through them for govt quotations. Somehow the bumi company can also apply for whatever kod bidang, even though they have nothing to do with it. Weird.
