QUOTE I started working as a young graduate electrical engineer in 1983 in an engineering firm in Kuala Lumpur. My starting salary was RM1200 which was pretty typical in those days. QUOTE Present day graduates start their working life at RM1800 to RM2000 a month, not a lot of difference from 25 years ago but prices of everything have tripled and quadrupled.

QUOTE(Kampung2005 @ Feb 14 2012, 11:42 AM) Those days, credit for consumers are rare or even unheard of, in Malaysia. So credit card still need to pay, if apparently there is a lot of people bankrupt, i don't see any slowing down at all, sales still going like hell on luxury items, phones, luxury cars, houses, people still got money so sit in traffic jams no need to work.Nowadays, many Malaysians has credit card. |
