This is perhaps an opportune time for students to take up dentistry. One of Malaysia’s leading 

healthcare player, BP Healthcare Group, will invest RM100 million over the next three years to set up the biggest dental care network in the country. The first dental clinic will open in the second week of September at the BP Specialist Centre in Glenmarie, Shah Alam, to be followed by another three more at its specialist centres in Cheras, Klang and Ipoh in November. Within the next 3 years, there will be 50 dental care clinics throughout the country.

In line with this, licensing will be strictly enforced among dentistry graduates. The country has about 10,000 dentists and the number is growing. By and large, many Malaysians visit the dentist only as a last resort when there is pain. The government wants to change that and encourage Malaysians to enjoy excellent oral hygiene by going for regular and affordable checks before it is too late.

Do you love food? Do you know how to cook? Are you particular with ingredients and how it affects the body?

Food Science is a field of study that looks at the physical, biological, chemical and technical aspects of food, from harvesting or slaughtering to cooking and the eating. Activities of food scientists include the development of new food products, design of processes to produce these foods, choice of packaging materials, shelf-life studies, and sensory evaluation of the product with trained expert panels or potential consumers, as well as microbiological and chemical testing.

On a practical level, food scientists help to improve the quality of life of humans by searching for new and better ways of selecting, preserving, processing, packaging, distributing food products and discovering new possibilities of food sources.

FOOD SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY CAREERS IN MALAYSIA

Malaysia’s food industry is as diverse as the multi-cultures of Malaysia, with a wide range of processed food with Asian tastes. The food processing industry is predominantly Malaysian-owned.

Are you born with an inquisitive mind? Do you like studying about plants and animals? Then perhaps you might be a future Agriculturist. Agricultural Science focuses on the science and technology behind principles and practices of agriculture. Through this course, you will be able to develop the knowledge, skills and practices that deal with the maintenance of agricultural resources and how to use these resources properly. Moreover, this course will touch on topics such as soils, the structure of plants and crops.

Malaysia is blessed with natural advantages. Given this, the agricultural sector’s contribution to Gross National Income is expanding the production of high-value diversified items such as swiftlet nests, herbs, seaweed, palm oil, rubber and large-scale rice paddy farming. No longer considered the “poor man’s sector”, agriculture is slowly changing through the help of research and development.

At present the Universiti Putra Malaysia has been tasked to restructure existing syllabuses to ensure sufficient emphasis on core fields such as animal nutrition, animal husbandry, animal breeding, agronomy and agriculture ICT.

AGRICULTURAL SCIENCE CAREERS IN MALAYSIA

Most agricultural scientists work in research universities, private industry or the government. They work in offices, laboratories and in the field. At present agriculture employs about 16% of the Malaysian population but that is expected to gradually increase in the coming years.

According to the Economic Transformation Programme, it is estimated that 4,000 aquaculturists, 2,000 animal nutritionists, 500 agronomists, 200 pathologists, 200 entomologists, 200 soil scientists, 100 veterinarians and 50 plant physiologists will be required in 2020.

Under the 10th Malaysia Plan, the agricultural sector is expected to grow with an annual rate of 3.3% and achieve a 6.6% share in Malaysia’s GDP by the year 2015. This means, more qualified individuals especially those in agriculture biotechnology and agriculture logistics will be needed for this sector.

Despite present opportunities, the industry will have to address some certain challenges such as the predominance of small-scale and ageing farmer community, lack of compliance awareness and focus on low-value products. This is where agricultural scientists could step in by helping the industry to develop large-scale agribusinesses that are market-driven to produce value-add products.

LAW PERSONAL COURSE REVIEW

Are you interested in legal issues? Or are you comfortable dissecting an issue into its basic components and then  analysing it on each level? That could be an indication that a career in law is suitable for you.

“The rule of law is better than the rule of any individual,” said the Greek philosopher Aristotle in 350BC. The law is above everyone and it applies to everyone. If knowledge is power, then sure knowledge of the law can take you very far.

The study of Law is immensely rewarding. Apart from merely fulfilling the prerequisites of pursuing a career in law, it is a field of study that truly opens your mind and trains you to think analytically. A law degree will enable you to practice law in Malaysia and in any Commonwealth jurisdiction. It covers the basic elements of the law that all lawyers should know.

QUALIFYING AS A LAWYER

A bachelor of laws (LL.B) takes three years to complete. After three years, you will either need to take the:

• Certificate in Legal Practice (CLP) or
• Bar Professional Training Course (BPTC, previously the Bar Vocational Course)

These professional qualifications are necessary only if you are interested in practicing law.

BPTC is the second stage of training to becoming a lawyer. This is taken over one year full time. BPTC aims to give students the skills required for a career at the Bar. It is primarily a practical course including plenty of advocay and role-playing, as well as exercises in drafting legal documents and writing opinions. Assessment takes several forms and vary between institutions.

CLP is a compulsory requirement for Bachelor of Law graduates conferred by universities in England, Wales and Northern Ireland and certain universities in Australia and New Zealand before they can practice law. The Legal Profession Qualifying Board of Malaysia has listed down the universities, click here. Graduates of these universities/institutions can apply and sit and pass the CLP examination.

Once you have this qualification, you will have to do nine months as a pupil in chambers at a law firm. Being a pupil in chambers is something like a housemanship for doctors. This is where you will learn what it’s really like to work in a law firm. Once your pupillage is over, you will be ’called to the Bar’, which means you will be qualified as an advocate and solicitor of the High Court of Malaya. In order to practice law in Malaysia, you will have to be registered with the Bar Council of Malaysia.

LAW CAREERS IN MALAYSIA

The career options for a law degree holder are as diverse as they are interesting. You can be an advocate and solicitor and represent your clients in court. Every year, 39,000 Malaysians are arrested by police and these people would usually require the services of a lawyer. You could also join a company in their legal department. Most companies both large and small will have legal departments that advise and liaise with the external legal advisors as well.

Estimates from the Malaysian Bar show that there are over 14,700 lawyers and over 6,300 law firms in the country.  Earlier this year, parliament passed amendments to the Legal Profession Act to allow the entry of licensed foreign lawyers to practise in Malaysia. Therefore, the competition will no longer just be on overseas shores, but right on Malaysia’s back yard.

The salary of lawyers is high; no matter what it is still a professional occupation. The starting salary in varies and depend on your specialization. Most lawyers don’t make all that much money, given the cost and time required to become one. Salary of lawyers are difficult to be determined, because they have own organization to recruit employee (same as actuarist and doctors). However, you can try to search for online salary survey report for reference. Besides, when choosing this course, please ensure the recognition of professional body, or it will be a hindrance to become a legal lawyer.

Culinary Arts focuses on the skillful and artful preparation and cooking of foods. A culinarian is a person working in the culinary arts. Those working in restaurants are commonly known as cooks or chefs.

One of the things that Malaysia is best known for is its variety of food. Due to its multi-cultural makeup, Malaysia food is extremely diverse. One can experience the culinary richness of the Malays, Indians, Eurasians, Chinese, Nyonya and the indigenous peoples of Sabah and Sarawak. Little wonder then that the food industry is booming and the demand for food specialists is on the rise.

The job opportunities are not considered as high, even though demand is on the rising edge. This is because culinary arts usually work for hotels and restaurants, but you know in Malaysia the most popular are food courts and “mamak” stall. Medium average income of Malaysians creates only medium demand of high standard chefs.

The average salaries are certainly lower than professional jobs like medical, engineering and ICT. This is because courses which require “academic talent and a bit nerd characteristic” usually earn higher. Their fields of study are more specific and difficult. But it is undeniable there are people who success in this field.

If you are talent and have great interesting on this course, it is still a good choice. Of course, you also can directly start you own business. My uncle who cook in roadside stall able to earn up to 5 digits, and he really make perfect noodles, or perhaps due to of good feng sui in that location, who know??  XD.

One last thing is, culinary arts graduates do not mean only cooking, also possibly to work as bartender.

While this has a modicum of truth (because PR is much cheaper — and more effective — than advertising), PR is not by any means cheap. PR is a full-time job so companies must either hire a full-time, in-house PR professional or outsource to an agency, who will handle the PR outreach on a company’s behalf.

How do brands like Coca-cola, Nike or even McDonalds become well-loved household names? How does the iPod or iPhone become one of the most wanted items by people of all ages across the globe before they even hit the shelves? The answer to all of these is Marketing.

A programme in Marketing will teach you the process of planning and executing the conception, pricing, promotion and distribution of ideas, goods, and services to create exchanges that satisfy individuals and organizational goals. Marketing is not only about selling. Selling is only a part of Marketing.

Graduates from this course mainly get the job opportunity in sales and marketing department, or some time work as public relation. Since every company have marketing department, therefore job opportunities are high.

However, the average salaries are lower than other professional like medical, engineering and ICT. This is because courses which require “academic talent and a bit nerd characteristic” usually earn higher. Their fields of study are more specific and difficult. Anyway, if you are the one hate academic, but prefer sociable, event planning and creativity task. This course may suitable to you. One of my friends, whose works under marketing department with working experience of two years, is able to earn RM3000 per month. She did quite a good job and deserved the price. So if you are talented in this field, high salary should be no problem.

Beside, graduates from this course also can work as sales person. Perhaps you will say without marketing certificate also able to become sales people. That’s true, but this course may provides you additional knowledge and improve the chances to work for huge organization. Sale jobs are stress and difficult, but success in this field is guarantee extremely high salary. One thing you might want to know, most of the top management employees start from sale job. This is because their contributions towards the company are more “visible” as well as more “practical” in boosting profit.
