Yar, they don't do this kind of international fast track now liao. This was actually one of the main reasons my sis left. During the annual review they told her that she was high potential and they intend to send her to HK where the regional office is.

Then they start to cut cost and she told me a lot of all these international people were all hastily called back and just chuck into smaller jobs in SG. She saw no hope liao that's why left. But from what I hear, the bureaucracy is not the normal kind you see in big MNC, is really very power one like government.

She was running some supply chain process improvement project and no sh!t, she had to call a meeting to get everyone including manufacturing, sales, marketing, HR, Finance, HK, UK and all sorts of strange people. Told me the set up meeting part already take more than 2 months.
