Aww...

first of all sorry for the late reply, been busy lately
it's not really cool to be a lecturer there are a lot of responsibilities and challenges
I'm currently holding a Master
about the salary scheme, my salary scheme might be different than the lecturers in the universities
it's because I'm under the scheme DH, this scheme apply to all the lecturers under Kementerian Pengajian Tinggi Malaysia teaching in Polytechnics and Community Colleges
and the salary is not as high as the university scheme which is DS, owh btw for UiTM they have their own salary scheme which is DM.. I think

I'm not really sure about the other scheme but for DH, if you are fresh graduate and have a degree in engineering you will start with DH41 P1T5 which means you will get a basic salary of RM2057.65 but that's the old SSM system, now it should be higher maybe around RM2300
other than the basic salary you will get allowances such as the housing allowance, public service, cost of living and critical allowance. so total up the salary will be around RM3000++
since I hold a Master certificate, I start at DH41 P1T8, not much difference only around RM200 from T5 salary
well that's for DH
as for the salary of university lecturer, I think the starting salary might be DS45 P1T4, RM2821.57 (old SSM) but I'm not really sure since it also depends on the management of the university. In universities I don't think you can find lecturers with only a degree, most will have Master and PhD, those with degree will usually be PLV or tutors. PLV uses the J scheme (jurutera). To know more about this, you guys can ask your lecturers or head over to www.jpa.gov.my and look for pekeliling skim perkhidmatan pensyarah university

Wow, that's a nice write up about lecturer's salary in Malaysia. But I heard rumors saying that lecturers in private institutions earn better than their counterparts working in public institutions. Well, is that true?

Basically what are the responsibilities of a lecturer like you? Doing research and publishing papers besides lecturing? Just wanna compare the job scope of our local lecturers with those in other countries.
