Losing our 'popularity' over this is a GREAT outcome, MPG started as a movement in Feb 2022 to debunk the taboo talk around wages. More transparency = the discourse works!
Malaysia Pay Gap lost its popularity.
People went all out disclosing the salary to the public nowadays.
Self-disclose KWSP, and now salary.
What’s next? Body count?
Important notice: I remain hopeful to retrieve the IG account back, and have not created any sub-account. Please beware of anybody using MalaysianPAYGAP name to mushroom presence. If I do create something, I will notify here to the public. - P
High employee turnover isn’t the problem. It’s a symptom of the REAL problem. FMBA confirms that employees hop to another for even RM50 extra, yet refuses to take the red pill to figure why RM50 extra is desperately needed nowadays.Such system will only enable poor management.
1. Malaysia should implement a system to prevent workers from job-hopping frequently, says the Federation of Malaysian Business Associations.
Chairman Abdul Malik Abdullah says although such a system sounds harsh, it would be helpful to both employers and employees.
The starting salary for new graduates joining the Gamuda Group has been increased from RM3,300 to RM3,500 for engineers and from RM3,000 to RM3,200 for non-engineers. Minimum wage for foreign workers increased from RM1,200 to RM1,600. Great news, keep up the momentum!

Hi. I was wondering if your Instagram handle "malaysianpaygap" has been deleted... because last week your Insta account still active...until I check it today...is missing...
Should this twitter space become unofficial MalaysianPAYGAP's office hours (with random thoughts, curi tulang pantry chats), or curated info about all things wages and career?
Here's what you need to know about the reality of negotiation:
1. Know what you want, how much it's worth to you, what you're willing to give up in exchange for it, and at what point you'll have to walk away. Getting a 'no' is not necessarily bad, it's simply a misalignment.
Exciting! Europe is considering region-wide wage transparency:
- Employers to provide salary ranges on job ads
- Ban pay history request
- Employees to have right to ask for pay levels
- Anti-gagging clauses that prevent employees to discuss wages
Takeaways from the event:
🔥Web 2. to 3. career transition is common for non-tech background, brush up Web 3-based knowledge using online resources. Just apply & try!
🔥 Excel in workplace = communicate & articulate + make yourself known + learn how to manage ur boss

It’s not okay to lie, it’s not okay to ask for pay slip either. Having pay history known to calculate new hire compensation perpetuates pay disparity. In some countries, there are laws prohibiting employers from getting pay history info from prospective employees.
Repeatedly seen irl, passion can only rationalize an individual with a threshold of logic. Once it stopped making sense, a new value emerge and take lead.
I wish more employees know that, collectively, their voices are always louder than the seemingly 'powerful' boss. It might cost your loss of job as an immediate consequences, but staying into it longer cultivates a toxic culture that impact more people, and a long-lasting culture
I uncovered evidence of wage theft at my job this week and requested transparency into our tip pool, I was immediately was fired for being "insubordinate."
half of the employees have since quit in protest.
I just got into housing and lost my only income.

This morning on IG, the community is enraged to see injustice for this contributor, advising her to resign immediately & report the employer to the Department of Labor. This opens up a can of worms. Is the Malaysian Employment Act of 1955, amended in 2021, even fair?

No Facebook, no IG accounts. It feels quite irony/comical that days could gone from 'I know over thousands of secrets/struggles/hopes/thoughts from strangers who opened up to MPG through dm' to having not much means to connect with anyone. -P

The MT earning RM4500 is employed by a large global FMCG company, with highly competitive training program. While the other's company is much smaller scale. We also need to take into account that each training program comes with various scopes of responsibility.
Myth: Govn servants need not worry about medical bills. They're privileged with priority access.
Reality: When medical attention is URGENTLY needed, they are likely have to go private to settle it fast. Some still fork out $ for external medical insurance to bulletproof future.
Discrimination is still commonly practiced (in many hidden manners) even with the law in place. Pregnancy in career remains another stressor that women face.
interesting discussion here on
@malaysianpaygap
’s post. i keep coming back every few hours for the comments. having been in this situation myself (pregnant & looking for a job) i’m definitely on team do not disclose but a lot are telling OP to disclose for trust issue.. hmm 🤔
this is not created by me either. It is not official. This Twitter is the only official one remaining. Crazy how so many people are trying to take opportunities in a deceitful manner💀
Latest update: all of my private and business accounts on Instagram are gone minutes ago. (they were gone on Oct 8 but reactivated by
@Meta
on Oct 9) No means to communicate with anyone but here. What exactly is going on? -P
🔥online resources for learning art all things Web 3.0
🔥 showing top mgmt self-awareness: for e.g. during self-review, it shouldn't be all glory. Reveal weaknesses and follow by improvement will enhance negotiation power in the future
If earning..
🔥5k = execute your tasks perfectly
🔥RM5k-10k = part execution, part delegation : find the right balance in multi-tasking

If you’ve missed out our live event, you can munch on your lunch while watching our video! 🥳🥘 (beware, its intense 🔥)
Our second episode of podcast is up! We went to a law firm to visit Vince Tan to ask him some many stupid but (essential) questions about labor laws. Let’s learn to best protect ourselves as employees!
How's the unretirement culture in Malaysia? Will resume work harder for retirees? Should they adopt the same LinkedIn strategies as the active labouring class?
@TechieKitteh
Hey there! Long story short: Misaligned vision between the founder and core volunteers team over Discord management (to have mamak or not have mamak), and after getting ghosted by core team for awhile, she revoked access to protect the data.
🔥 OP refused to show past payslips, countered w/ current market wage data during interview to nego better
🔥 Attend web 3 events in M'sia! Quite a handful of M'sians are working in top mgmt in global web 3 companies. Network!
🔥 Ghosting on tasks will just get you sagged
MalaysianPayGap has an income dashboard now, which is cool. Tho I feel like a wet blanket, I really should caution everybody that the selection bias for this whole thing is humongous. So keep that in mind
It should be noted that the Act only applies to employees whose monthly wage does not exceed RM 1,500. "Non-EA Employees" are usually governed by the terms of their employment contract. The employment contract MUST be READ in its entirety.
2. Don’t be entitled. Explain the appeal you're providing and why your request is reasonable. Everything you do should be based on the value you can provide and the value you require in return.

@nabilahudatahar
Public judgment should be practiced soundly. The only misinformed info here is that FMCG is not a company, as claimed by the poster; it's an industry involving companies of various scales and business models. Racial pay disparity exists; it's just not in this particular case.
We're having our first ever event tonight over at Discord. It will be a live Q&A session from one of the very inspiring "30s BUT SO WHAT" stories shared on MPG. This story series challenges the stigma for starting over past your 30's. Join us at 8pm:
In conjunction with Halloween, some friends of ours have started malaysianlawyerstories on Instagram dedicated to the horrors of the legal profession. Clearly inspired by
@malaysianpaygap
who have been doing amazing work.
5. If you enter the negotiation with reasonable expectations and the mindset that everyone can and will achieve what they want in a fair exchange, you establish yourself as professional. Don’t be combative/take things personally. Sometimes, the situation is just not favourable.
@picijoon
Remote jobs usually don't need to "clock in", the hours are flexible (yet could be around the clock depending on the country you're reporting to), as long as tasks/communication are completed on-time.
3. You earn only what you ask. Set the bar high and then lower it to the level of what you wanted. Oftentimes, simply by asking for something, you will receive significantly more than you expect. Assume nothing about the other party's true motives. Don't underestimate them.
