I just read an MBA jobs trends report, and found some salary information that might be useful for those looking at schools in Asia. Here is the breakdown of average salaries of MBA grads working in Asia for multinational companies broken down by country (in US$):
China: $59,700
Hong Kong: $87,500
Japan: $92,000
Malaysia: $75,500
Thailand: $42,500
Vietnam: $48,000
Not much is really surprising, except for that fact that salaries in Malaysia are generally higher than China. That makes University of Malaya, the only internationally-accredited university in the country, look very good.
Of course, salaries in Hong Kong are high but the city is notoriously expensive. If I was looking at Hong Kong, I'd check out HKU, CUHK, HKUST, etc. No shortage of great , accredited schools there.
Japan is harder. It's generally pretty expensive there and there isn't as much of a b-school scene as in Hong Kong. Keio Business School and Temple come to mind as good places to go in Japan.

1) Japan: $92,000
2)Hong Kong: $87,500
3)Malaysia: $75,500
4)China: $59,700
I would have expected Singapore in third position.. (And the 75500$ would make sense there)

Singapore will be above Malaysia. Perhaps it is not in that article?

The major multinationals hiring MBAs in Malaysia are in technology, energy, finance and consulting: especially Intel, Dell, HP IBM, Accenture, Shell, Standard Chartered and Frost & Sullivan. Ericsson and Citi hire fewer MBAs, but at a more senior level.
They have very often studied at international universities with presence in Singapore: University of South Australia; University of Southern Queensland; Manchester Business School; Charles Sturt University and the University of Strathclyde. Generally, the senior people have all studied at Australian or UK universities (Imperial and also Nottingham stands out: it has a large campus in Malaysia), or at INSEAD.
The three big Malaysian MBA recruiters (Telekom, Mazis and Petronas) recruit mostly from local universities, especially Multimedia University, Universiti Utara Malaysia and Universiti Putra Malaysia, but Strathclyde, RMIT and Melbourne also feed in there.

Considering the low cost of living in Malaysia, that is a nice salary.

Indeed - in Kuala Lumpur you can find apartments for a fraction of the cost of similar ones in Singapore - along the lines of what you'd see in a city like Berlin. I think Penang in the northwest is where the growth is at - a lot of big tech firms like Motorola, Dell and Seagate have plants or other infrastructure there.

Do you have a more specific question in mind? I'm sure you are not actually asking what I think of India.
