QUOTE(kidmad @ May 22 2025, 01:58 PM) why high end companies want to come when your minimum wage is RM8k? companies are out there to make money not make friends.. the only reason why ppl want to come into malaysia is because we are cheap. 4.5times cheaper than the americans, 5 times cheaper than euro... 3.5 times cheaper than singapore. Firstly, retain your best talent. Without talented people, you can't find any solution. If you continue to lose your talent, you will become poorer over time.Some jobs are literally 1 to 1 pay scale in comparison. Once you tackle this issue, the rest will start to fall into place |

In general, all these news discourage people kids to study beyond SPM, it's not worth it spending 40k and come out with debt and low wage. ruffy_z liked this post

ai say
No, a college degree does not guarantee wealth. While a degree can increase your chances of higher earnings and career advancement, it's not a guaranteed path to wealth. Factors like career choice, entrepreneurial endeavors, and smart financial decisions also play a significant role. |

Many times cheaper plus can 1 man do multiple role, and not many talent in msia can do that, you think these companies want someone that’s already have the same kind of workload in their home country? They just want their own kind to goyang telur.Some jobs are literally 1 to 1 pay scale in comparison. |
