easy answer. Finish ur form 5 then enrol into a maritie academy ( ALAM or Singapore Poly, etc) 18yrs old k. Get your starting salary at USD 700 a month sail for your seatime come back to continue your marintime studies. 10 yrs down the road u mak captain ( 28yrs old) then you command a min salary of USD 300 per day. bear in mind this is the lowest possible Master's salary in malaysia. I know some companies offer USD 500 a day for marine captains. so you'll be earning well over RM5k a month by the time u're say 23 or so.
