if u think 1st job on 1k is bad, try rm650 for clerical work 10 years ago in a local insurance company. i seriously wondered how i manage to survive on that pay, then of course, i didn't have to worry about rent and car. i stayed with parents, go to work using the public transport and my money is spent mainly on food and ciggies. mainly ciggies...

i'm amazed that after 10 years, the lowest grade clerical is still being offered rm850-900 in this day and age, no wonder it's so hard to hire nowadays.. fkn HR policies!
