Hi all,

Let's be frank here. I can see the situation is quite gloomy now

1. Sales tax- price increase
2. Job market gloomy with the AI taking over jobs
3. Chinese people coming in taking some jobs
4. Gov reducing subsidy
5. Uncertainty in USA with Taco
6. War in Europe not ending soon
7. No headcount in your company even though people resign.

For people in the 40s and 50s are the most at risk. I mean you have reached a certain level of salary/remuneration it's very difficult to find a better position.

How do you prepare yourself?

For me I like doing house work like installing lights, water heater etc. Was thinking of taking some wireman course . I guess these are AI proof for noq.

How about you guys?

no,3 is very true...with USA and Europe MNCs moving out, CCP companies more will be coming here. They will bring their working culture. It can be ruthless, so if you join them make sure you are below 40, if shit hits the fan, you can quit and find other jobs. After 40yo, you are virtually stuck and rely on them, unless they like you for your work.

no.1, be glad that govt is trying to balance the budget. Of course spending may not be fair among classes of people. But still, they are trying to manage. That is the important understanding. Things can get worse, if govt change to some crazy Puas run govt that don't understand GDP and budget deficit. They will spend spend on subsidies and take govt borrowing until they can't then print money to raise inflation to venezuela and afganistan levels.

Its gonna be hard even for my rich friends. The tariff war is hitting on their businesses. They used to be selling a lot of their products to USA but now they are seeing teir margins swiped by CCP companies eating into their market share.

That and also with this visa free , they are coming in and not paying tax. For sure that is a different discussion.

Malaysia is stuck can move up the value chain and can bear to move back to the lower chain.

China people in order to survive this trade war are moving away from China and for sure coming to Malaysia. Easy speak Chinese unlike other countries. 

The industry I'm in is affected and I am saying this from first hand experience.

So while there is nothing much we can do , just thinking what we can do for ourself.

In the future I feel we will be moving back to blue collar job. All white collar will be AI

If you are single, its an opportunity to find China wife since many coming here.

Aside from that, yes its getting far competitive.

A lot of PRC companies are setting up here, and they prefer to hire 50% of their workforce their own people. So unless you are really good and stand out, they will prefer their own people.

You see, back in CCP land, their citizens are being squeezed with lack of job opportunities. Every year millions of graduates come out, government is very worried at where to land them jobs. There are even high top scorers that can't find jobs. The top leadership of course worried lah, if no job means unrest. Obviously there is a secret plan, to invest overseas, set up their version of MNCs but they ship these people overseas and be based there, hopefully one day they become citizens, inter marry. So the govt back home don't have to worry about them lying flat in their country.

what industry r you in? IT ?

Some CCP boss is like HK boss.

Be careful of those like to target one.

Once you make a mistake...they will keep haunting you, target you over and over again...

until you collapse under pressure.

But then again some CCP bosses are nice...still...they may not understand when you need to take AL for your child sick, or no penjaga stuff like that.

No experience with chinaman company first hand. But second hand got la. Local company boss very traditional, loud mouth like gangsta , totally unreasonable.

But one of his staff got cancer he paid for the medical. Still his other staff complain about him. Cos keep kena blame for low production when though he already told them the problem. All my quotation he won't buy. Cos said expensive.
Yeah sending is one thing. But apart from that?

Appreciate ur local boss.

CCP bosses, usually more favor their own people.

They got classes one, if you member of CCP - no1 treatment (no blame can come to u), if you ordinary CCP citizen - second class, if u cainis know mandarin - 3rd class, if you cainis banana - this class they despise the most.
