But despite the high salary, he said it is not easy to work in Hong Kong as the working culture is really fast-paced.

He also emphasized the significance of the Mandarin language, since many organizations expect their staff to speak Mandarin well, despite living in a Cantonese-speaking nation.

Despite having the language advantage, he recommended that Malaysian syllabus should be keep up to date like in Hong Kong such as paying more attention to science subjects like statistics and calculus.

He also suggested that interns and fresh graduate should study hard and work overseas to broaden their horizons.
