New salary this coming month......... $$$$$

It's great and a huge sigh of relief that the negotiation is finally over and a new CA was signed on the 21st June 2008, even if it's not one that I'm actually happy about... we were asking for 30%. Anyhow, I'm still happy that we're getting 17% plus the 2 months contractual bonus intact. Please bare in mind that in Malaysia, we're getting only 12 months salary as compared to "developed" countries, our consumption power is way below so many countries that whenever we're asked to compare to some really "HORRIBLE" countries and be grateful, is it any wonder that those professionals run off when others gave them great offers... And then, not to forget we have a whole bunch of cowardice sour grapes at home who called these people, "UNPATRIOTIC". Maybe everyone needs to be reminded that most of us didn't work because we love it, but to eke out a living. So, please use some sense when talking, okay.

Okay, I'm so totally grateful that at least I have an increment, especially when compared to those who are earning below RM1k, with children, and trust me, without other side incomes, they live in debts. Wonder, if any of our politicians, government workers feel sorry enough for these people to want to speak for them..... Well, I could only wonder....
