Salaries In Malaysia Will Remain Low. Your Life Now Will Rely On What You Do After Office Hours

Do not allow yourself and your family to live life solely based on your monthly salary—it’s dangerous.

Malaysia is in a sad state right now when it comes to the subject of salary. The rate is so low, that Malaysians, in general, have to find ways to supplement it with other sorts of income. This has been happening for ages. Simply ask around, and you will find their honest answers saying that they have no choice but to earn more than one income to simply survive.

This problem has been plaguing the country for decades. No one in this country can explain why it is happening. Even the cost of living here has jumped multi-fold but the salary remains the same.

Work-life balance, what is that?

There is no such thing here in Malaysia. During our grandparents’ time and before, one income is more than enough to cover the whole family. While my parents, both my dad and mom had to work and earn two incomes as primary school teachers to merely survive. Today, the two incomes of both husband and wife are no longer enough. They need to find something else to do and earn additional income from it, to survive.
