Consulting Firms listed are from mainly from Singapore only. Why? You ask me why I will also ask you why not?
It may be that Singapore is a more advanced economy and the idea to work with Associates, Partners, Freelancers or Independent Consultant is an acceptable arrangement. In Malaysia? It all depends on the mentality. May be get young people, get in-experienced people, get low salary workers to be consultants?
Don't get angry, okay? I am talking about ISO 9000, ISO 14000 Consultants.
