I disagree with that. When the first unis came up in Malaysia, somewhere in 1970, everyone was fighting to enter in correct? As it was the only uni back then.. Slowly more and more unis come up, be it IPTA or IPTS.. There's no guarantee having a IPTS degree will guarantee u a place in overseas, heck it doesn't even guarantee u a job here in Malaysia.. And I know so many people who are local graduates and are now in overseas, either working for big international companies or migrated there.. To me it comes down to what u study and how u perform in your working life. You maybe a graduate from a top prestigious uni but if you can't even work to save yourself, what good is the degree? No difference whether u come out from IPTA or IPTS.

However job interviewers of a major company do not care where u come from, may it be Malaysia, UK, US, Indonesia.. Most importantly is your personality, your work ethics.. Brings back to my point above, you can come from the best but it doesn't guarantee you to be the best in the working field..

like i said, getting degree from IPTA or IPTS doesn't really matter.. and also depends on which overseas country ur looking at.. for example, EU countries don't recognise any MBBS degree outside the EU.. And if u were to go to UK or australia to practise, either with IPTA or IPTS medicine degree, u still have to sit for their professional exam, cause every country thinks their standard is better than others..

and yes, u must work first.. u can't say i got IPTS degree i can go overseas work.. nobody will employ u.. u see all the top post or post require u go overseas, all have minimum working exp, so to me, get a degree, don't care from where as long it suits the job market and it's something u like.. then work and gain experience, be good in your field and the world will be yours..
