lousy tax structure, lousy gov support, lousy marketing and radicalization of malaysian society , as supported by TDM and his gang = foreign companies pulling out of malaysia as can be seen by weekly news of how sucky our stock exchange is (still) and how much money is being pulled out

sad thing is that no media dares to write about RnR issues affecting foreign investments ( requirements on hiring practices spooks them hard. even local companies are spooked a.f when reading them ) . Only say this pullback is caused by China-US trade war, but all our neighbors unnnntttuuunngg saja.

But seriously, its 2019 now and if the company is still paying only 2k especially in the it field is considered as underpaid imo

While I sympathize with you but you have to recognize these facts:

1. Tens of thousands of fresh graduates every year.
2. Thousands of graduates unemployed / underemployed / misemployed (e.g. Grab)
3. Not enough proper jobs
4. Country in middle of economic downturn.

Its the employers market now.

Every year I have a few hundred fresh grad applicants.

I wish I can hire all but I cant.

Some of them even beg me for an internship, with allowance as low as 400, as long as they don't have to sell nasilemak or remain unemployed.

I'm not saying you can't ask for RM2,800.

You can continue to try, no harm. Good luck!

I am a fresh graduate computer science student who recently has just completed my studies during august. I have applied almost 30 companies on websites such as linkedin, glassdoor and jobstreet.
But so far almost more than 1 month only two of the companies did call me up for an interview but still got rejected in the end. The job i have applied are more towards IT support and administration
such as linux and windows as I have some knowledge towards it.

Company 1:
I did manage to answer most of the technical questions given by them during the interview and told me that will arrange for 2nd interview with the executive director.
After two weeks up to now still no news.

Company 2:
Call me up for phone interview yesterday, ask me some technical questions also told me will arrange for an interview today but suddenly got rejected this morning told me that there are a
change of job requirements and they are not hiring anymore.

Is it really normal for a fresh graduate to find it hard in securing for a job these days? As my expected starting salary is only RM2800 and its not even considered very high lol
*
IT support normally plenty of jobs.
list down the companies you applied.

IT graduates  from what i understand very  easy to secure a job. 
my  nephew  from APU  univ  @ TPM  got  a  job  offer    before he sit for exam 
so i guess  Which  Univ you come from  counts .

maybe  also  you are fresh , trying for first job...    you need to convince  them  harder without doubt  . 
just  keep applying  to  every  IT  Advert  you  see  within your qualification.  prepare to go for lower salary , cos with no exp  you are in  weak position.
good luck..

Most companies already freeze hiring already
Windows 8 or 10 have this system restore/refresh/reset which can be done by end users without it person

TS probably not pro in any programming languages, that's why only apply for IT support/admin jobs

Those that you see freshies getting 3k+ are on the programming side. IT support/admin pls ask 2.6k instead. Employer's market now.

And pls apply for small companies (not MNC) for higher chance to be employed.
