And yet you are here...Why bother to go as far as Singapore instead of we have some example for the Malaysia part. LOL.

Toughness in terms of things to remember: ACCA

👍👍

Still didn't read the bracket huh?

Sure bro, you happy then okay dy lel.

Man Liamness dont speak for all of us

And i seriously hope he's really an engineer and not some troll googling cos he sure love to pick fights haha

Yes C++ was taught in my uni for Electronics major students. This was 20+ years ago, back when MMU was actually Universiti Telekom

PS out of curiosity, whats your current status? Still studying and having second thoughts? Or just grad and not sure what to do?

unless 3D printing takes off big time, and can produce reliable parts that is both weatherproof, EN, FM/UL certified, and safe for industrial usage, then I'm afraid my sorry ass , my company and my product will still be needed.

And like I've said, most of my job can't be done through automation or AI, yet. Perhaps it is also not worth it to automate my job as the volume & market cap isn't worth the effort or justification.

Meanwhile, there is a huge value proposition to get rid of thousands of accountants, close offices and overheads. Who knows what AI can and will do to boost your company bottom line and hence, increase their share price and profit.

Afterall, your company should be stock listed and everything that they do is geared towards maximizing profits.

Indons teaching Python to 2nd year chemical engineering students already. Malaysia also same la..



Programming is fundamental subject for engineers..

Fyi, engineers also have to do some finance & accounting courses too. I personally found those course way too easy. No wonder I always saw finance students leaving exam halls early.

bro, alot of the courses already updated to teach python too.

Those new engineers are coming out with updated programming knowledge.

anyways, programming is clearly part of an engineer course and very fundamental too. I can't imagine any course not having teach basic programming or coding in this day and age.

It's a fundamental skill! Pity those finance grads who don't know how to code haha..

Man there you go again....be civil dude. You gonna bring down a shit storm soon haha

I checked the links. These fellas all talk about robots like input data only. Maybe in the early 2000s yes, robots were like this.

But this isn't the case anymore..

They strangely didn't touch on the subject of machine learning AI. Perhaps, they don't understand it.

Machine learning is how our cars are being driven autonomously. Banks are already using machine learning algorithms to make better decisions and drive the banks core businesses. Same thing is happening with accounting too.

Robots no longer just input and sort data. They can begin understanding and reading this data and fine tune itself to make decisions based on what it is reading.

This is what machine learning is all about and why you as an accountant need to take notice of it and how it will impact your field in the not so distant future.

When you begin hearing about your company trialing new software to drive decision making, you need to take notice and recognise the immediate threat that this software will pose to your future. If decisions are being driven by software, you are no longer needed. Best of luck to you.

No need ruling. MP get 20k even if not ruling team.

Tbh, python is good enough for most engineering applications, I even wrote a couple python scripts to automate my PLAXIS analysis, a day's job done in a click. Just check the result later on.

C++ is focusing too much on the rudimentary part which is only important if you need performance. Time used to develop can easily be cost more than just scaling up ur hardware. Its fun to learn, but pain in the ass to develop on.

RM 20K is average salary of /K. Not enough to be considered "kaya". /S

Just an ex Huawei Intern last year. Maybe Huawei Malaysia isn't RnD focused. Well, Huawei Malaysia pretty much very inclusive community, they accept everyone from any background. As long you start from blank at SPM Level can also become a staff there doing technical work. I have friends mechanical and chemistry and some even physics background there.

So I don't think it is an issue la. In regards to 3GPP documentation I tak tahu too much la, just browse through only. Because my work is more towards Network Data Collection and Analysis, and Project Rollout Tracking.

Huawei Internal Exams have many la. Also need to keep renew license.
Huawei community wise OK la nubbad. Feel very inclusive. Just see some staff work OT until very kesian only. And high turnover rate.

Taking accounting degree is not the same as taking accounting professional paper. ACCA is very much a law based qualification which has heavy emphasis on the accounting standards, almost like studying to be a lawyer, but memorizing and regurgitating will not take you far as the Advanced modules require high degree of critical thinking which a lot of students get stuck for many years.

in my view ranking of accounting qualification in terms of difficulty, from easiest to hardest

CPA Aust
MIA
ICAA (Anzac)
MICPA - used to have dual qual together with ICAA
ACCA / CIMA - this 2 are very different qual. ACCA difficulty is more focused on Audit and Financial reporting papers whereas CIMA is more on management accounting/reporting which requires very high degree of critical thinking and case studies.

CGMA (upgrade CIMA)
ICAEW

Specialty qualifications :
CTIM (Tax)
CIA (internal auditor)
CFA - not exactly an accounting qualification but shares broad similarities with ACCA/ICAEW/CIMA is terms of syllabus.

Book keepers yes, accountants, yes and no.

The work that im doing today as an accountant i dont really see how AI will takeover anytime soon. We are really far from that. Not impossible though.

False.

1. ACCA does not equal accounting degrees. You can bullshit your way through the degree but not ACCA
2. The "balance sheets" (i believe you're referring to bookkeeping) are just 15% max of the entire ACCA syllabus. Look up ACCA papers and you will realise accountants no longer do what the traditional perception is.

ACCA now requires a higher degree of critical thinking and solving case studies. Especially last few years could see the syllabus trending towards cultivating a consultant mindset for the strategic papers.

Like I've said, AI is now machine learning and autonomous. It can make decisions based on the book keeping info.

Decisions like how to save money, how to optimize operations, when do you need to replace parts and assets, how and when to declare profits/losses to maximise tax breaks & many more decisions can now be made by intelligent AI software.

The function of an accountant is quickly being removed. Not just for book keeping, but for critical functions and decision making too. The CFO is no longer going to be a position helmed by a person, it will be an AI robot who plays that role in the next 2-5 years.

ACCA
The lecturer is another person
The person who set the exam questions another person
The person who mark your answer script another person
Nobody know each other

Engineering
The lecturer is your university lecturer
The person who set the exam questions is your university lecturer
The person who mark your answer script is your university lecturer
