Well. Another experience of mine.
2 years ago, i wanted my brother to purchase the same apartment that i got. The he said, "my salary so low so i cant afford"
I ask him "how much is ur salary?". He said "2k only"
I said "what the fck! Uve been there for 3 yrs and salary still2k! Give me your CV"
I took his resume and gave it to the the IT department in my bank. I am very buddy buddy to that department although i m at diffrnt aprtmnt. A week after that he went for interview and got offered 3k. Then his old company tried to keep him and at the same time increase all the IT staff that has salary of less than 3k (which was mostly 2k range) to near the 3k range. The old company realized that if they dont do this, they will lose all their staff. He then thought about still staying at the old company. Then i said " IF you do that i will kill you!" Coz of all that i did for him, asking the IT head to offer him the job, now he doesnt want to accept!
Anyway he did jumped to my bank. A year after that got increment to 4k, and he hasnt been promoted yet. Just the lowest grade exec in d bank.
But now, the problem is the apartment and house are expensive in KL. But he is trying for PRIMA. I wish him the best. But location is definitely not gonna be good as what i bought.
Wages in malaysia are increasing, thats what I see. But need to remind everybody the poor people in Malaysia is increasing too. But then properties are not for the poor. And rich and poor gap in Malaysia are widening though.
I believe people here at low yat forum are too successful and rich that they dont see and experience on what i am seeing all over me with my everyday layman people that i know on the street. And my frens still think i am weird that i dont hav a car. Well I rather have 2 apartments than 1 car. I think they are weird wanting to buy a car but dont have a house. Girls ok, coz the guys should provide a place to live, but guys buying a car but dont have a house? I think that is a mistake.
when u said you are.... "one in a million"..
