New rules to work in Great Britain
According to The Star on 26.11.06:
Malaysian professionals must possess a British degree and speak good English under new rules to work in Britain, effective Dec 5. [Need to have IELTS cert]
The move will affect mostly doctors, lawyers, accountants, engineers and entrepreneurs under the Highly Skilled Migrant Programme (HSMP).
Westminster City Council Chinese Liaison Officer David Tan said the revised regulations would supersede the old criteria which was scrapped on Nov 7.
Tan also had the last word:
“Under the new system, unless you can demonstrate a very high level of skills, plus academic qualifications which will serve to benefit Britain in the long term, you are unlikely to get anywhere,” he added.
