OSK Securities vs Pacific Bank

Intro
After a hectic working life with ACS (Aeon) Credit Service, I was offered to enrol on Bumiputra Remisier Trainee Program with OSK Securities (M) Sdn Bhd, Jalan Ampang. Basically they'll train and help us to be a remisier. As we know, remisier need to have a capital of RM 50K to trade. OSK will help us to fulfill this requirement slowly and help u to get the trading license. In order to get the license, one have to sit for 2 papers - module6 and module7. While undergo training with them, you are entitled for RM 1,200-00 monthly allowances. Upon passing the exams we need to submit the application to SC (security commission) for their approval. Mmmmm not so easy to be remisier then :) !. I sat for both exams but purposely fail the module 7.....

The "Pacific Call"
While under training with OSK. I keep on looking for a job, a secured one. As you know, remisier is like having an own business. You have to look for your own client and advice them on market condition. To tell you the truth, i'm not ready for this and the timing is not right. The market still haven't recovered from the 1997 crisis and I don't want to commit suicide. Pacific Bank called me for an interview at their HQ in Glenmarie and I was offered a job as a Management Associate (MA). MA is similar to Management Trainee. FYI, Pacific Bank is no longer exists as it has merged with Malayan Berhad Berhad. I'd accepted the offer and my first branch was Wisma Hangsam, just opposite Central Market (CM).
