QUOTE(nujikabane @ Jun 23 2009, 05:27 PM) Is Petronas considered as statutory body? If no DTA agreement then he have to pay both MYS & foreign tax, since this case foreign tax is nil then only liable to MYS tax.There is no DTA, but in the country he is being sent to (Timur Leste), they do not charge tax. So that is why I'm asking whether there is a way to not pay tax, legally during his term of employment there? I am thinking of asking the subsidiary of the country to pay his salary, but it seems that he is still liable to pay tax. Any other way ? Normally in tax haven country like British Virgin Island you will hear such things. But in MYS its hard to avoid tax especially if you are in GLC. You are asking this for educational or practical purpose ? Bcos in P6 we normally learn how to handle people that avoid tax with anti-avoidance provision not the other way around (although in real life its exactly the opposite). Sadly my experience is not enough to give opinion on how to manage such things |

Well, anyone beg to differ ? And any suggestion on how not pay tax, legally for this matter ? |

QUOTE(MegRyan @ Jun 21 2009, 10:38 PM) Ray, Haha of course he is not as famous now, Marcus left last sem already. Lol, just so u know, Marcus and Goh are both as good, with their own style(according to friends under Goh, and with my exp under Marcus). Well, since I havent been under Mr.Goh before, I wouldnt know, so I cant give a fair comparison. However, if we were to look at statistics, both usually gets fully booked before the others Are you sure or not? I heard Mr. Goh is the best mentor, for he guides you almost every sentence to make sure its up to UK standards. But I didn't hear much about Mr. Marcus. You claimed he is very famous? haha Wonder Mr Michael Manwaring can teach P3 Inti, sure get do BUsiness topics in OBU wan. Wonder if he does OBU also. If expensive, maybe ok can accept since he so 'geng'. And once again, looking at the pricing blinds a normal consumer. I expect an ACCA student to understand the "value", not the fact that a service is priced premium. Sunway is charging too high because they are using their "brand" name, just the same as how branded good use their name to charge a premium. If u can get the EXACT same end product, with a QUALITY input, and in an Economical and effective way, why not? After all, he has tonnes of exp in Sunway already to be able to coach others regardless of location. And btw, ur OBU cert will not state the college u come from, so no prob, in case u choose to believe the conspiracy of Big4 only recruiting Sunway student. (Btw, I have a friend taking ACCA from various college, got an interview with one of the big 4, whereas those who sent directly through Sunway are yet to be called.) |

QUOTE(shiningstar101 @ Jun 23 2009, 01:16 PM) In this case, since you don't want to choose Andrew Pang in the first place, i would say the only option left would be Oviyan. But basis knowledge for F9 must be very strong if want to follow Andrew. As I 'm part time student and dragging too long on other paper so basis knowledge for it I forget already.The reasons being would be : - Daniel Ho is not going to teach in FTMS - Stephy Lim from KB would not be recommended as this is her first time teaching F9 if i am not mistaken. FYI, she used to teach CAT papers in KB. U may choose her if cost is your constraint. However, you may try other lecturers from other colleges. For me, i attended F9 classes under Andrew Pang. Personally, i do think he's one of the best finance lecturers for F9. For the theory part, no doubt he didn't touch in deep, but he did explain the theory once in the class. i remember i got 70+ for my F9. For me, although he didn't teach everything in depth, but he did cover the syllabus in a wider scope. Oviyan have any teaching finance background or not and would she jumping basis part for F9 paper? |

All optional class would normally be at night since 90% of the students are part time students & its pointless to run fulltime class which only aters to less than 5 students. With exception of sunway I dont think you will many places conducting optional class at morning or afternoon. |

Talking about text books, do you guys fully rely on them or more towards lecturer notes ?
besides that, which text book provider do you think is better compare to another (BPP, kaplan, GTG ...etc) ? |

QUOTE(Topace111 @ Jun 23 2009, 02:37 PM) Different mentor will provide different guidance on the topics you choose to pursue. both the average marks and the grade of the assignment will affect the class of the OBU you are getting, unless your average marks is above 68. If it's above 68, any grade you get for your assignment, your OBU will still be first classMentor like Andrew Pang will foucs on topics on performance measure while others like Parmindar will focus on topics like business. Andrew should cost around Rm 1xxx while Parmindar around RM 2xxx. I dont think pass rates is important for OBU since its the grades which matter more like A, B or C. Anyway will the grades affect your OBU class at the first place ? |
