It is not illegal to discuss your income with your peers. Only the employers have something to lose when the employees discuss their pay and any discrepancies. There have been plenty of examples where employers had to pay fair wages to their employees who found that were short-changed

I really hope Malaysians who continuously complain about low-pay would fight for their rights. You should not be afraid of your employees.

Theres an often misinformation or least misunderstanding that folks have with pay, that think that all degrees are the same and all jobs are the same

Like folks say "work bank dead end", that only applies to some departments in banking. Similar to Insurance, if you are an agent its a tough job.

This applies to all forms of industry, medical engineering for example is a shit job, low pay high unemployment, with the rare exceptions getting the fun stuff, you might as well be a musician.

Then theres also a mistake people make with wages and economics in general, people only pay for the best, so often only the top 10-20% gets the best jobs, 40-30% is paid normally, then the last 50% is under paid (cause normally under perform)

so the data always comes out as, the MAJORITY doesnt earn well, cause you have a 50% below average performance all the time.

It goes without saying that my clients would be doing well or at least above average for themselves if they approach me for mortgage and asb financing applications

For my insurance and UT businesses, I meet them from the above two "door openers"

Suffice to say this is not a random selection at all. Far from it, as I have mentioned earlier in my post.

Why am I doing this? Perhaps to help people realize the discrepancies of the pay scale. They may be of the same age, they may be working in the same lines, industries, or even the same company; yet there is a gap between theirs and others

I particularly enjoy comparing people's pay between their age.

My observation:

1. Within the same industries and job scope, differences in pay can be put down to job-competency

2. Between different industries but of the same age, differences in pay can be denoted to differences in demand for that skill set
