IMO, there are two type of lecturer in Malaysia. Quality or less quality.

Quality if the lecturers have industries experience more than 3 years. And less quality, if that lecturer have zero industry experience which is graduate from 1st degree and continue to master degree without any work experience.

For less quality Lecturer, this is troublesome for the student because the lecturer not competent enough in his/her fields to answer the question and the knowledge is sux. But for lecturer with Phd, that is different story i think.

I have question on this. If let say i have 10 years of experience in industry, the highest study is Master, (related to my work experience). And then want to become a lecturer in IPTA. How much can i earn for my basic salary, and can i straight into senior lecturer position?

highly unlikely u'll get into the senior lecturer position. but it depends if u hold certain key positions or have achieved something substantial regarding ur profession. the easiest example is professional qualification. a civil engineer with 20 years experience will still start as lecturer, albeit higher ladder. but another civil engineer with 10 years experience but with IR would definitely join in as senior lecturer.

as a lecturer, base salary from the starting ladder will start around RM2500++, plus allowances about RM1k.

But i in computing fields, no professional/board recognition like that. The BCPM is still in progress. If RM2.5K + 1K its still very low compared to my current basic salary

then do a PhD and jumpstart ur academic career wink.gif.

to tell u the truth, there isnt anywhere u can go with a masters and work experience in academia. u really need a phd, the ability to do research, write and publish it. then u'd get to professorship, which can earn u 5 digits easily.

What about new university such as USIM, UNIMAP and others, still need Phd?

Bro, my friend as a lecturer in Uitm said, over there just need Master to become a lecturer. But need 1st degree and Master with pointer 3.0 and above as prerequisite, and who has more than 5 years industry experience can straight to senior lecturer position. And in MMU also the same situation. And can pursue Phd full time, interesting enough to me
