i wake up travel by bus 1 1/2 hour everyday for the past 3 years to go to work from one state to another to go to work. wake up at 5am every day to go to bus station to grab a bus.

Then after that still no car and started renting a room when salary was ok and then still took lrt/mrt to work every day for another 4 years..

nowadays flesh glad come out oredi complain earning peanuts and still wanna own a car straight away.

I bought my first car at the age of 30 and it was a Myvi.
nowadays flesh glad also dun want to look at myvi and oredi wanna drive SUV or civic ketamz when they earning peanutz...

work their way up the leddar la.. instead of complaining.. coz nowadays mellinnials sooo sayur... cant stand to slog like the boomers generation...

Times are different. Those days you don't have Facebook...social status is now best thrown all over fresh grad face. Everyone wants to earn money and buy shit they don't need because social representation expect them to do so. This is reality and you don't know it yet by the time your kid grow up..don't be suprise that your so call those days are these guys those days and pressure to survive will be even higher

brainwash from tv is already enough.. whether you subject your kids to further exposure to all the other digital products is up to you as parents...
I personally dont allow them to touch any digital devices up to the age of 10 then they can start slowly get into it. At least they can grow up and appreciate nature and other stuffs around them and mixing with people the old fashion way compared to letting them being hooked up to the internet from the early start..

Again is how other parents bring up their kids .... there is no right or wrong.. just what kind of exposure you want your kids to have during their growing up years and what you want them to become ...

I think it depends on work also. If the work requires travel a lot, then car is necessary but most company compensate if travel is part of job like travel to client. If the job has limited travel and near MRT, the rm100 pass is a good offer in my view like in kl sentral.

Food at kl sentral/ nu sentral considered high class Liao. Most go brickfields (few mins away). Many nice chap fan or banana leaf at rm6,7.

Accomodation wise, I think cannot run but I will swallow ego and stay at relatives / family for first 2 years (when salary is very low).

My grad job is with big4 with long crunch hours. The travel allowance and OT allowance helps a bit financially. No social life so that saves lots of monies and departmental trip is mostly subsidized so travel holiday costs also reduced. Got some colleagues renting same room from college days even when they working (landlord assume still studying)

Got toilet paper only alr demand this and that.
Not even proving your worth yet pun.
Work your way up lah.
Phuiiii

Stop looking at ways to cut down costs and expenses. This is why Malaysia will only have cheap industries ran with a chinaman mindset. The matter at hand is the low starting salary of a fresh graduate. Not how he/she spends the money.

1. Who's complaining about the low salary? If he/she is some "hobbyist degree" graduate then it should only be expected. If a law/medical/finance/STEM related graduate, then look at his/her accomplishments, anything below 2.0 CGPA should not even be considered a degree.

2. What's the reason behind the low salary? Is it because of Malaysian companies cannot afford to pay competitively? Or is it the graduate him/herself does not have inherent value or potential to grow into the job, i.e. low quality graduate.

3. How and why is the salary so low for Malaysian fresh graduate? Is it caused by a systemic cripple in the education and economic sector of the nation? Or is it supply and demand factor? It could also be that good ones never complain with their competitive pay, and only the bad ones keep complaining because of their low worth to the employer? Survivorship bias? Confirmation bias?

The median salary in Malaysia is RM2k. Meaning half our Malaysian workforce make less than this amount a month. 

Cost of living is cheap. Cost of lifestyle is expensive.
