Just my opinion, I think this kind of job opportunity in Malaysia is still very limited ... I remembered (if not mistaken ) ... share companies ( saham )

Ya. think first. If you have background like relatives, parents, family members who are involving in this field or you are very talented in Maths and hardworking, you may give it a try. smile.gif

I checked and found out that qualified actuarian in malaysia is actually less than 80. Is this course very very very hard to study and is the job opportunity wide? Those studying this or have informations on this, welcome to drop your comments.

I think i can handle it. I have the desire and love for maths and i like challenges... However, is UTAR the only choice here? Singapore got any?

I think .. hard or not hard ... it's definitely depending on oneself. But, you must be very/ extraordinarily good in Maths.

for all papers cost > RM10k...

the first paper will start with something around RM2k and get more expensive. Together about 9 paper ( not sure ... ). Imagine, 1 year for 1 paper ... you have to study> 9 years to become professional. Many students can pass the first 3 papers. But, you must complete all papers to be recognized as professional.

But, of coarse smart/ clever one can finish it by half time period ... ohmy.gif
