Is your 1st job more like IT helpdesk? May i know your qualification? What are the requirements for the second job? Your salary sounds good enough to me. Please let me know some details.

my fist post.
at the begining of this tread, some one talking about you can only make big bucks by "jump".

well, i am jumping now, illegal, i am now 21 years old, i jumped to england since last year october.

job title : take away counter
company:chinese take away
tenure: full time, no contract.
duration of working: everyday, no off day, work 7 hours a day
experiance when joining: no experiance
job description: taking order
salary: £240 per week. its like RM6000++ per month if converted to rm, food and accomodation included.
not too bad for 21 years old eh?

actually i am a advance diploma holder in hotel management in taylor's college in P.J. but considering the low paid in malaysia, i have decided to jump, and now i regret taking the course.

if I know earlieri would take hair dressing course and work as hair dresser here in the morning and do the take away job at night, that would sum up to rm 10000++ per month if converted.

any one jumped here

where r u?
london or... ?

illegal alien and proud of it. well at least your're happy...but just don't let me catch you complain about illegals in malaysia.

HAHAHA...then you are my senior la,i also quite regret study that subject, u from which batch har?where u specialize. can i know if u work in malaysia, how much u can get?10s.

Are you regret jumping over to england? I thought about jumping to london. But worried my life would be same as in Malaysia. Afraid that I cannot save money and spend wisely.

there's always australia. it's closer to home. cost of living cheaper than uk.

You poor sod.

I met quite a few Malaysian's wetbacks too in NewYork and Toronto China Town area. They have work like a dog (16-20 hours/day, 7 days/week). I guess they're earning pretty good money (US25k~US30k/year - mostly cash ~ tax free) but have no life and can't practically leave Chinatown area - always hiding from Immigration or Labor dept raids and have to share bedroom with 5 other illegals, very difficult restaurants/sweatshop life. Good luck to you.

seems similiar situation to our indonesian counterparts........u see, when the G says 'proud 2 b malaysian' we all know we want to, but question is - how?

VVV: Birmingham, for some reason i dont like london

Game master: bdh 15, I took higher diploma straigh away, skip the diploma, so no specialization, i dont know the rate they paid working in hotel in malaysia, but i got one friend working as F&B admin in chorus hotel they pay her 800 basic plus 3 points, i knnow one girl working as sales marketing starting salary 1700++ , well, salary depends on a lot of things, it depends on hotel that you work, position, experiance, etc ,etc, etc..well....you can try cruise ship, I really like to join them if I dont jump, good pay too, coz they pay you in USD(mostly).

Ido: so far i dont regret, I earn the same amount of money as a manager who work for 5 years, why regret?the thing is , i dont drink, i dont smoke, i dont have gf, i dont even bet in world cup, life is boring as hell here, i dont have to many friends here, i work alone, if you are heavy smoker, heavy drinker,than thats your problem... since my food and accomodation included, i only spend like 20 pound a week the most, even online i also use public library, 1st time you come ofcoz you need alot of things to buy la...like toiletries etc...
theres no difference if you go to australia, so what if its close to malaysia, you think you can go back and back like you go to sabah and kl ah??, for illegal, its one shot. you come only once, than you are balck listed.....

netfan- thats my previous experiance...one room share with other 5, if they are good people its a great fun, if they bad, god bless, thats why i said malaysian working here sucks, china better, the malaysian working here are retard, i hate them,i rather same room with china people. now I got my own room, its even bigger than my room in malaysia, lol, but staying alone too boring. and yeah, because you work illegally, you dont pay tax, but if you consider to become british citizen, you have to.

i bet u're not working in a chiense restaurant, aren't u?
my dad is working in UK as well.. he's a chef.. legal.. got working permit..
my dad is not paying any tax.. but, my dad is taxed as well..
his boss pay those taxes, for every employee..
not only in this current restaurant he's working, but as well as the rest he's been worked for..

well, like wat u said.. dun smoke dun drink dun gamble.. wat u earn is wat u save..
he also asked me to jump go there, work for 1 or 2 years, can save at least 6 figures in bank account (RM la..)
work here with only RM2000+ isn't enough for me myself..

f1 meteor, you know it, theres nothing much that we can do here, other than chinese restaurant, if you got any skills than that different story, like hair dressing, or what so ever. well, if you father can arrange a job as well as apply working permitt for you why dont take the chance?i am envy of you got father working legally here, my mom work here too, but illegal also. she had to come here to work and pay for my college fees. after i have grad how long I have to work to earn that back? thats why i decided to jump, work for 3 to 5 years, earn wnough money than go back invest the money or do my own business. i dont like working for people, i dont like receive order, i like giving order lol.

Life as illegal is quite challenging indeed! As long you're making honest living..But, sadly you have to go this route. Please do, try to pay their taxes...at least give some back to their govt, the natives won't complain too much about immigrants siphoning off their resources, and if there's ever an amnesty, you have better chances of getting legal status.

I read a story of a Malaysian black cab driver can earn up to 8000 pounds/month in London. Not sure if he's legal or illegal.. but he's a immigrant in UK - working extremely hard, saving every penny and can possibly retire early (if return to Malaysia, of course!)

i have been thinking about working there as well..
but, i got my job here, as a programmer..
going there working in a restaurant won't help me build my career i beleive..
argh.. my parents keep on asking me to go there..
what they said are true.. work here, how to save money?
when will i be able to buy my own house.. car.. each month only left few hundreds RM in the bank.. aih..

hmm.. i thought to pay tax, you have to register?
if not a legal worker, why want to go and register? trying to get busted?

haha.. my dad told me majority of the taxi drivers there are indian (not malaysian indian).
they are damn rich.. some of them own few houses, just for rent purpose..

ACtually going there making less money in long run.

If here you also work 7 days 10-12 hours daily , you can make more very soon and much MORE money down the road too due to career advancement.

Pls do not tempting to go there as long run you are making less money and have lower living quality.
