What is the main difference between slave and labour?
I wonder is there still slave in this 20th century?
I have a friend, let the name be A. A is a graduate from local university, while waiting for his employment, A work as a shop assistant where he feels he can gain experience for what he is going to be in future. Guess how much is the salary?
RM3.50-Rm4 per hour.
A works 6 days per week, 8 hours per day. Accumulation of the salary per month will be approx RM 800. The question is that is this kind of salary able to survive in places like KL where everything is expensive; price of petrol reach the peak recently, even some places, the price for a bowl of mee went up to RM5 (since last week).

This scenario only applied to those lucky one provided with a car,else don't even think of owning a second hand Kancil. Not to even mention about having your own house. Oh ya, how about stationary, clothes, trousers or shoes?
Not to be worry.
In fact, with 7 days working a week, you can buy those selling in night markets.

O_O" he's one freaking lucky guy.
rm800? in this very hectic KL?
and he's a graduate for god sake!
why didn't he go and find some other job that suits him more?
He want to gain experience in his field I guess. But is definitely below paid. Hard to survive in Kl by this pay. I guess the government need do something / is doing something.
I used to work (cheated by stupid employer) who promised to give me RM3 per hour (I am hav SPM qualification only) paid me less because they kept digging reasons to cut my salary. T.T
That sort of pay, can hardly even survive in Kuantan.
Petrol price increasing some more..
