£120/day is pretty low if based in london

Yeah, he is lucky because did not to live at London ...
£120/day his daily payment (total of his salary is up to £8k/month)

diploma in engineering is technician yo

but some factory, they offer job with post "bla bla bla engineer" to diploma holder, but technician level pay.

In US, they had two path for career growth plan for each of their employees. One is technical side another managerial part. Although it's totally diff path the outcome salary is not much different. A senior manager earning more or less the income of a senior engineer. Since they're significant towards each other.

But in Msia, sad but tru. engineer is high level kuli. Make sure the company provide OT, Mileage claim and other allowance before u accept their offer cause basic pay definitely not enough. Driving a City? wearing Frogskin and APC? with 3k? bullshi* i'd say

why u all keep saying high class kuli?! there is no such thing as high class kuli for engineer!!!

i have no idea wtf is frogskin, APC and why the F would i drive the POS city.

IT very cham oso... my skillset can easily be replaced by Indians/Indons/Pinoys/Thais for lower price

don't get trigger too fast if it ain't got nothing to do with u. i just lay an example of a fresh grad engineer dreams when they start working n earn their own money.

engineer - OT?

There are quite a lot of jobs that do give a decent starting pay in malaysia. But of course it needs the right people.
Problem is a lot of the newbies i saw have poor english skills, and not thinking rather expecting things to be told. Who is going to pay big bucks for this?
As for your examples, if being overly materialistic, at least aim higher on the luxury scale.

LOL laughed to hard. Luckily its lunch time

work your way up dude.. u think everything easy in life? if i hire u also i'll ask u, i give u 3k, wat can u give me? ask a lot but know so little.. no work exp.. summore wanna demand.. kids dis day.. wanna come work late, go back home early..

why? my company have an OT rate for all non-management staff. rm35 per hour is pretty decent for me. even my senior engineer colleague still has OT rate. His basic around 9k.

i agree, but u should know how kids these day was raised. especially those who live in urban area and mingle with millionaires kid. how bout a hard working, speak fluent english, o&g engineer whom earn almost half of what other engineers from another country earned but still done nothing less from them. The problem lies in the eyes of the beholder?
