Salary surveys
http://www.zdnetasia.com/insight/specialreports/itemployment/0,39055182,61999180-1,00.htm
The link above shows the salary surveys between different countries. I was shocked when I see that job salaries in Malaysia is even lower than Thailand. There is a huge gap between salaries in Singapore and Malaysia even though both countries start developing at the same time. What might be the cause?
See the table of the Average Annual Salary by Years of Experience (U.S. Dollar).
The salaries of working in Malaysia for more than 10 years is even lower than salaries of working in Singapore for less than 5 years. What a huge differences.

Though Malaysia and Singapore gained independence almost at the same period, but bear in mind that Malaysia is practically a 3rd World country while Singapore is now considered as a developed country (1st World country). I guess that is the reason why the wages there is so much higher. *smirk*
Oh ya. There’s no such thing as “XXX quota” in Singapore. LOL! Really, our Malaysian leaders should start reading “The World Is Flat”. Over-protection to certain ethnic is what makes our country lack behind. Even Vietnam is doing better than Malaysia in terms of economic growth.
*shake head*

Edmund: Go work at middle east = chances of dying in malaysia is 1 in 15 years while in the middle east is 1 in 5 years. Worth it? Everywhere is bombs and boobie traps and terrorists.
Work in UK: 1 year in UK = 7.01 years in Msia
