Not sure if this is the right place to ask.

Do recruitment agency or headhunter try to lowball your salary? I put my expected salary as `X` on jobstreet. Then this recruitment agency called and offered me a job which pays X amount. I then Google and use jobstreet to search for that post and it pays `above my expected salary`

if you put X and they give you X, they are giving you what you want. that's a good sign. If you put X and they give you X-Y only then it can be called as a lowball.

Lets just say that my expected salary on Jobstreet is RM6k, and then this company is offering RM8k, since the recruitment agency says that the company only offers Rm6k to me, does that mean this recruitment agency gets to pocket RM2k per month from this company? Is that how it works?

yes. normally, the client pays them higher for their supply of manpower. i'm doing project management and one of my scope is to supply manpower for the project. we charge the client 800USD per day for project engineer and we pay the project engineer around 400MYR per day. we get our profit from manpower through such deal.

hiii sifu, wanna ask 1 question
after being raised from contract to permanent staff, do we get more benefits?

i heard from my colleagues that they mentioned there is at least rm500 increment if salary is below 5k. is this correct? or just a rumor lul

from my experience jumping over to 5 different companies, there's no difference between permanent and contract staff. tbh contract staff deserves to be paid more than permanent because they lack the job security.

there is no job security even permanent staff.

yep. so, whichever you pick, it's the same. but the negotiation for a higher salary is more towards contract terms.
