Dear Members specially Tariq Sohail and Awais Aftab
There is no doubt that Pakistanis have equal or even better potential than the competitors; the fact also has to remain that our professionals of whatever field do compete the rest of the world and so oftenly secure the desired positions.
The issue raised by Tariq Sohail is well taken and understood. However, in my humble view such problems arise due to our low voice as a nation, as a country, and as an economy on the globe. This finds its roots in our strength as a country instead of strength of relevant educational or professional bodies. One fellow said that why it is so; it should have not been like this. I agree, but without getting emotional, we also know that facts cannot be changed and we have to fight back so much for getting out of this phase. This cannot be done overnight.
So many of our professionals working abroad do get some international designations as well since this is supposed to increase their acceptability. We must not forget that if they do so, even then they do it on the basis of their abilities that were polished locally. Tariq Sohail has certain other designations as per my info. He would be a witness that how did ACMA (PAK) would have helped him in getting through others. We know our quest is too hard than others. Reasons may be acceptable or not; but the process which we face and undergo is toughest when compared to other worthy designations.
However, notwithstanding this paragraph, our professionals do compete, win and survive on the basis of localized designations. If we add up 941 and 500 it makes 1441 which is quite an encouraging number when compared to a given pouplation of around 7000.
The problems which they face are quite similar to the issues which Pakistanis face every where while dealing with other nations either they are from commerce, finance, medicine, engineering or whatever field.

KAMRAN.
