Actuaries interviewed by press
A few local actuaries were interviewed by the press recently, this included: Patrick Cheah, , Liew Pek Hin, Azim Mithani and Raymond Lai, President, Vice President, Treasurer and Immediate Past President of ASM respectively.
The general view is that there is a strong demand for actuaries in Malaysia. Malaysian actuaries are also well sought after in countries like Singapore and Hong Kong.
From our headhunting experience, we have also placed actuaries in Indonesia. Malaysian actuarial students are also popular with Singapore employers. As a matter of fact, we are currently looking for someone with 3 to 5 years experience to work in Singapore.
