never talk about MY lack of career opportunities because realistically there are companies in the world operating in MY. My partners in SG often scrap these applicants coming from MY people saying no opportunities in MY because they will categorize them as "want the shortcut".

I suggest you can say SG companies got more global exposure and network for career growth, assuming you are applying for a multi nation company in SG.

Malaysia also have alot of regional HQ la.

Just that we often hear the negative news.

If you are real corporate person in certain industry u will be exposed to corporate industry exposure. If u tell a real corporate head hunting company about 3rd world don't have regional HQ they will laugh at you. Cambodia, Vietnam, indon also got. Is a matter of quantity.
