one year salary is fine, so many fresh graduate earning RM3k+ and driving Axia/Bezza/Saga which cost more than the annual salary

For some job it require the staff to have a car to travel around to get sales or to go client office/factory. The car probably bring more job opportunity for the person.

If u are earning RM50k annually and go buy BMW 3 series of RM250k, then yes that is a big financial mistake.
