i would say that it is more like allowances, not salary.
it would depends on what task and responsibility that they gave to you. the higher the responsibility, the higher the allowances. if they give you salary, like 1k, i think that they would expect quality job from the students. thats my opinion.

i considered myself lucky coz some of my friends didn't get any allowances, but i think, big companies do give to their interns.

p/s: some of my friend did their intern in big company but didn't receive any. the company was like..how to say..biggest fixed-line provider in Malaysia?!

Totally agree with you. Why not since you are already oversea?

My senior got almost 1k EURO from Infineon AG and the other got 2k USD from Veeco Insturments.

Thank you for the responses from all you guys.

If I had the choice, I would definitely take an internship here. (USA)

However, due to my Visa status and kecacatan in language, getting an internship is never easy.

I'm now applying for a number of internships here. But the worst thing is very likely to happen (rejected). So, I'm thinking of whether going back to Malaysia or staying here to do other work that will not be related to my major during summer if I really can't get an internship here.

I do know some student who study in US but still come back to MY for internship.
Normally they will get rm500-700/month.

do internship allowances comes with other things too? e.g. commission, overtime and medical/holiday leave.

like my case , it do have one day annual leave for a month .

PEMANDU paying 1.4k per month to their interns

internship allowance normally between 500-1000. The service line like hospitality or hotel maybe 0 (but they provide your uniform and meal).

If your internship is university course-required; then you might not entitle for OT claim; leave; or EPF. If you are purely seek foor internship opportunity to fill out your holiday, then mostly the company will provide EPF.

Woah diploma salary edi. What sort of internship was it?
