my last salary in malaysia was 5k+ with 8-9years experience in 2009 as a QS
currently working overseas...
I guess even now most QS wages still around this region +/-
some youngster in other industries is earning this figure ...WTF is malaysia construction industry doing?
planning to come back for good next year if evrything go smooth, but looking at such dreadful situation now..better stay away from this cheap construction labour country 
Message to all QS/engineer,etc in Malaysia: Whenever possible just run to overseas, believe me you ll get at least double. triple or more on what u r earning now... let malaysia construction industry get rotten
