Of course there are.

they are, you just need to look at the correct industry

i believe IT now is the new O&G after pandemic

15k MYR is just the upper range of senior engineer in IT field. For team leads, specialists, SMEs can get from 15k and beyond.

one thing good about IT is the one can put in lesser amount of effort for every buck they earn, some dumb people keep saying oh grab riders can earn rm8k also but they ignore the fact that how many risks and hours grab riders need to spent to earn that amount

I know sometimes it is difficult to believe what people might say in forums but here are some data collected.

If you filter the dashboard to more than RM15k, you can see 274 submissions.

Total submissions at this point in time is 4572.

This makes the population in that database to be 6% earning more than RM15k.

You can download from headhunter salary survey as well:

If you want further benchmark, can check robert Walters and Kelly. You can see rm15k is quite normal for many experienced skillful roles.

You do know the concept of foreign currency? If that's the case a Singaporean worker will always earn lesser than its UK and US counterpart? You do know the concept of purchasing power parity as well? SG is highly competitive as they have expats as well competing with their citizens there. You see plenty of SG citizens working at fields that mys will scoff at such as at food court centers, dockyard and hotel services. In MYS, most of these are outsourced to South Asians. Just go and see their national zoo workers.

I see no reason/ purpose to show off. Again I can't see what are you trying to achieve here. Are you:
1) Looking to get into the RM15k club but you not there yet and want to know how? Get promoted/ change company. Cannot find opportunity? Keep searching and network. Plenty of people fail before they get to where they want to go. Everyone wants the glamour of a CEO, not everybody willing to have a meeting at 11pm on a Saturday night though or sleep at production plant during crunch time.

2) You are not in the RM15k club and you are unclear why people are paid such high salary? I can recommend few books/ articles but in summary you create value, you will get paid. You can create value by work hard, smart, cheat, manipulate, hustle, ...etc.

3) You are not in the RM15k club and you are frustrated and unwilling to work to get there. Feel free to find articles to support your mental well being at bored panda whichever makes you feel better.

actually Malaysia Gini coefficient is damn high, that's the truth also

if you earn more than 11k, then you are in the nationwide T20 classification, while in WPKL, you need to earn at least 20k if you are single to qualify for T20 in KL, meanwhile in poor states like Kelantan, not even 8k can enter into T20

at the end of the day its just a number game

with the current inflation, many SME will have another wave of salary adjustments, which further driving the inflation up

to sum the thread, 6% of the survey population making more than 15k kind of reflecting our economy objectively, its just a bell shaped curve
