Ever wondered what was the reason why we have a lot of F&B vacancies in Malaysia? The obvious answer is, low pay. However, how low is low pay? In Singapore, the same restaurant offers more salary dollar to dollar when compared to Malaysia and it’s not even converted yet.
4 Fingers Malaysia is willing to pay their staff a miserable amount of RM1,500 a month, while the Singaporean 4 Fingers would pay SGD2,200. When compared, both Malaysia and Singapore have similar costs of living if not converted.
Netizens mentioned that the purchasing power is higher in Singapore, for $1,500 you will get more in Singapore than RM1,500 in Malaysia. Other netizens mentioned that we should stop being apologetic to greedy capitalists and not trying to justify low wages.
