Bro, just to mind you any trading in forex in malaysia by individual regardless of platform is considered illegal. Unless you get any onshore financial institution to open account and trade for you (some product like DCI and etc..) otherwise, you personally trade using any trading platform no matter pc or mobile, still considered illegal and may have chance to get caught. Forex is not something that you need "some" time-off but rather you need every minute to monitor it, I have a friend who was involved in forex trading offshore (illegally) getting money but also lost RM12k within a night after few months of earning.

Another point is, don't think KL city area have jobs with better salary, when you don't even start fresh to gain experience then do not expect to have at least RM3.5k for a job. To be frank, banking industry hiring fresh graduate with diploma is about RM2-2.5k and RM2.5-3.2k for degree, unless you went in to Management Trainee (which could go up to RM4k i heard from foreign banks but its not an easy job to go thru). If you were to spend 6 years in working with financial services industry, you could be earning RM5-7k depending on which expertise you have. Investment is investment, there is a downside risk for it, as long as you can get a stable main income, you can continue to go for investment such as share trading/unit trust & etc..

Of course, any sales job will have higher salary in return of your hardwork and effort to achieve targets regardless of industry, you may at least get RM 3-4k and above inclusive of commissions and incentives. Finally, a piece of advise to you, when you have that PTPTN loan commitment, get a stable job to repay the loans so that you are able to upgrade your life with new Mortgage loans/Hire-Purchase loans/Personal loans in future. Also, you are giving a chance for a new student to get PTPTN loans to further their study.

Yes , i can accept that amount but not over drive to everyday and everyhour

I am from klang , bukit raja , not from kl , pj , ampang , damansara , etc

In klang area , the salary were quite low for basic work , which was 2k for diploma , 3k for degree as a starter
Ofcourse after you gain experience , you can get 4k to 5k ( maybe 3 year atleast of experience )

But in KL , pj area , i think you guys could easily get 3k for diploma , 4k for degree, and more to 6 to 7k with experience
( due to expenses on there were higher )

There was one thing that suit me was that flexible time , i need sometime off to research my forex trading, afterall that was some kind of investment education that could improve our financial , i just hope that it could help me later on
( in my mindset - even if i have 200k on hand , i dont know how to invest , i still need to work )

I know @moosekaka were saying that Forex were not truth/reliable , i knew it , it can be even said 1% of forex trading people make success out of the road , and most lose , i knew the fact well , and i been in it for 6years , it was same as stock market , if trading on market were that easy , everyone were doing trading and not working on businesses , but anyhow some still make it , and i believe in it. I lose quite alot of my time on it , i have no career experience except basic one , i have nothing after graduate to now except ptptn loan , yet i am not the kind that could go 9 to 5 work .

There were a side income that we driver can do , sales - especially property agent i think , i might give a try
( i dont like sales because they need to lie , ofcourse that was for sales purpose but i just dont lie haha )

If i can get a 3.5k or 4k month job , i wont go into driving. Ofcourse included that i could go home everyday , if need rent outside , i think 1k gone there , then it was same as 2.5k / 3k work .

If you love the volatility of Forex trading, there is an alternative trade with similar or less volatility called "Trade Futures Contract", at least it is legal in Malaysia.

Anyone know JustGrab at the Grab apps?

Anyone know JustGrab at the Grab apps?

Damn CRAB, I already in offline mode, suddenly the grab driver apps can be turned on by itself and there is one ping coming caught me by surprise.

Find a job that is flexible.

I was a full time optician for 10 years . I stopped  this year not because the pay was bad but I didn't have time for my young family.

12 hours a day,5 days a week, no rest days on weekends. I only see my children at night when they are sleeping after I get back from work around 11pm.

That is not a healthy way to raise up children.

Decided to do grab while waiting for any shops that will call me when they needed a locum optician.

1 month I was doing grab full time since no shop were calling me. 2nd month I got like 6 days of locum and the rest were grab.

3rd month I am booked 15 days. The rest is grab.

I'm getting paid around 150-180 per day depending on shop location.

In actually getting paid more than when I am working full time. Add the income from grab it is OK.

The moral of my long winding post is

Have a life target and a plan to reach those targets.

Make the targets realistic

Stick to your plan but know when to accept that your plan simply can't work

Your never to old to try something new if your old plan fails. I'm 37 this year.

Be flexible on your plans to accommodate unforseen events and circumstances

So when u working as Grab, u can spend more time with your children, fetching them to/from school

TRUE THATTT!

already offline just want to check about the JustGrab, then suddenly ping coming 

Wtf is just grab?

Correct. I have fetch them home from school. Cook dinner for the family. Etc etc.

I grew up in a family where both father and mother was working and I was on my own with my brother most of the time.

I don't want the same thing for my children

Kids are spoilt by their rich parents thats why

Thanks and I totally agree with your final sentence.

Quoted from Goodboy92 again:

"( in my mindset - even if i have 200k on hand , i dont know how to invest , i still need to work )"
-When you don't start work but start dreaming, how are you gonna get that 200k in hand? Lottery? Donation?
-Don't know invest won't make one's life miserable, there are always experts out there where you can pay for them to help you invest.

If i can get a 3.5k or 4k month job , i wont go into driving. Ofcourse included that i could go home everyday , if need rent outside , i think 1k gone there , then it was same as 2.5k / 3k work .
-If you can get 3.5k or 4k per month with a stable job, you can also drive for side income which increase your earnings and reducing the % of expenses out of total income. Renting a room in golden areas in KL won't cost you more than 600 inclusive of electricity & water & wifi, however it really depends on your personal usage and self-discipline.

they may have no choice.... in future only very few people will have high paying jobs due to automation and AI... and the only high paying jobs will require skills that can't be taught or require some special talent. things like entertainers, creative professionals, inventors..

if your kids end up as non working parents.. it may not be by choice..

Ucsi students don't like handsome driver
