I heard fresh grads got around 3.5k from them

your friends lying to you..they just trying to be proud themself working with multinational company n saying they got high pay..reality they only got if lucky RM2500 inclusive allowance...if got entered into their SAP dept fresh RM1200 + trianing 6 months after training RM2200 if lucky enough to get into their SAP Dept..++ work like dog..no life..that is the reality...i know coz i worked with accenture last time make me tired with consulting firm..HIGH pay for those with experience only...they dont want to waste their money with fresh who is learning.

I still dont believe fresh grad getting started with RM3500..hard to believe..even RM3000 still dont believe at least doing sales job..but doing IT stuff analyst n programming stuff..there is no way with freshy to get that figure..at least u r golden chicken

I know this is unrelated but for those who wants to compare salaries.

A standard Australian McDonalds full time worker earns around AUD$3k per month.
That's just a front counter staff.

Malaysian economy is going down if people are going to be underpaid.We'll even put ourselves on par with 3rd world nations like India, Vietnam, Cambodia or Bangladesh.

Our Government is just playing the "pretend not to know" game just to keep the MNCs from complaining.We do not have the advantage to make them stay.It's actually a very bad indication of our country's economy.
What do we have that other developing countries like Vietnam, Thailand, Bangladesh and India doesn't?If we are going to play the same game as them, they'll always have the advantage of having cheaper labor.

It is the wrong route to go because as we speak, countries like Singapore continues to suck in our talents with their performance policies.
