Untuk keluar dari zon selesa, kita perlu bersedia dengan tentangan terhadap kebiasaan yang kita miliki, meskipun ia melibatkan agama kita sendiri. Apabila berhadapan dengan tentangan, jangan pula kita mudah melatah dan berputus asa.
Kita perlu bijak dalam mengadaptasikan prinsip hidup kita dengan budaya dan penerimaan orang sekeliling. Seperti apa yang dilakukan oleh Dr. Farah Shaheera Roslan setelah ditendang dari bilik pembedahan kerana memakai tudung yang dikira boleh menjadi pembawa kuman ke dalam bilik bedah.

Pada tahun 2018, dia telah dipaksa keluar dari bilik pembedahan di Queen&rsquo;s Medical Centre dengan alasan tudungnya tidak diiktiraf untuk pemakaian di bilik bedah.
Terkesan dengan kejadian tersebut, dia bertekad untuk mencari penyelesainnya. Setelah membuat beberapa perbincangan dengan mentor dan orang atasan, muncullah idea untuk membuat tudung pembedahan pakai buang ini.

Sejurus selepas itu, National Health Service Trust lah premis kesihatan pertama yang menawarkan produk tersebut, hasil kolaborasi dengan Farah dan mentornya. Mentornya, Tierney ada mengatakan bahawa kos pembuatan tudung ini tidaklah banyak, namun ia akan menjadi titik perubahan kepada sesiapa yang memerlukannya.
Sebelum itu, Farah memakai tudung biasa sahaja sepanjang hari, yang mana dia maklum bahwa tudung biasa bukanlah pilihan yang terbaik untuknya.
Ini kerana ia tidak se-steril pelitup kepala yang selalu ditawarkan. Oleh itu, dia tidak dibenarkan untuk memasuki dewan bedah kerana takut akan kesan buruk yang mungkin akan terjadi- menyebarkan kuman yang boleh menjangkiti pesakit.

Kini, sudah 3 tahun berlalu setelah kemunculan tudung pembedahan pakai buang ini, Dr. farah kelihatan senang dan gembira kerana dapat menyertai rakan kerja yang lain ke bilih bedah. Lihat sahaja postingan di bawah:

&ldquo;[saya] rasa berbesar hati menjalani pembedahan dengan mereka yang hebat ini pada hujung minggu lalu.
Sebenarnya, saya tak perasan pu&nbsp; sepantas mana saya bedah. Keutamaan saya pada waktu itu dan selamanya adalah keselamatan pesakit. Jadi saya akan ambil seberapa banyak masa yang boleh untuk menyelamatkan mereka.
Tapi pada hujung minggu lalu, mereka telah memperhatikan detikan jam ketika saya (doktor pelatih tahun 2) sedang melakukan pembedahan berseorangan pada satu kes kecemasan.
Rupa-rupanya saya mengambil masa kurang dari 40 minit sahaja untuk mengeluarkan appendicitis yang besar tu. Biasanya pembedahan ini mengambil masa 60 minit ke atas.
Oleh itu, mereka bersorak di akhir pembedahan dan kami bersa gembira dan lega bersama-sama.
p/s - lelaki yang dekat katil tu bukan pesakit tau, tu pekerja kita &gt;.&lt;&rdquo;&nbsp;
Perkongsian tersebut menunjukkan bahawa, dia sangat gembira dengan suasana pekerjaannya sekarang. Boleh masuk bilik bedah, ada rakan sekerja yang baik dan mentor yang sangat membantu.&nbsp;

Kisah Dr.Farah ini mengajarkan kita untuk tidak mudah berputus asa dan terus berusaha mencari jalan penyelesaian. Kerana pada akhirnya, penyelesaian itulah yang telah menjadi kebanggannya dan membantu dia untuk bergiat sebagai seorang doktor yang berjaya!

Doktor Pelatih Ini Mencipta Tudung Pembedahan Pertama Di Dunia!

Commonly, many of us would like to avoid paying taxes if given a choice. However, the act of refraining from paying taxes will lead to major consequences we never thought of. 
Recently, a notable celebrity doctor shared a few videos through his TikTok account <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@say_shazril0">@say_shazril0</a> on his unpleasant experience of dealing with the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (LHDN) when he was contacted back in October 2020. He shared the incident he experienced to warn and urge the public to pay their taxes responsibly, especially YouTubers, influencers, TikTokers, and any freelancers who thought they were smart enough to escape from it.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/415574957a4513e006fc492d26522eaaa663f56eee9e1936f298d36642360df0" />
Looking back at that moment, he received a letter from LHDN and was summoned by them to come to their office due to him not paying taxes for the vast and numerous content he posted on social media. 
Previously, he thought it was a scam but when a second letter came to knock at his door, he was like &ldquo;Shit, this was real!&rdquo; 
When he arrived at the LHDN office, piles of documents were presented to him and that led him to feel shocked as to how they were able to trace all the evidence of the social media campaign he did for several brands since 2016. 
As such, you can&rsquo;t avoid your responsibility, right? 
Dr. Shazril looked so "kantoi-ed" when he knew he couldn&rsquo;t hide as a means to protect himself when the truth was revealed in front of his eyes. 
The interrogation went on for hours and he was questioned on how much he charged for each campaign as well as his earnings for both shows named Tanya Doktor and MyDoctors. With that, he disclosed everything truthfully just so it would be easier for both parties. 
According to LHDN, they investigated that Dr. Shazril owned a few assets such as a house, car, and motorcycle, and from there, they realized he earned RM160,000 annually between 2018 and 2019. 
Fortunately, the interrogation was merely a &ldquo;test&rdquo; as LHDN wanted to know if Dr. Shazril was a truthful person. 
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/12f72214b1ad03d6111f0f9ca38f3464368cd41b0b4fb84f079108003a608606" />
After a thorough calculation from LHDN, apparently, he only needed to pay a total of RM50,000 to them but still, he was cracking his head as to how he was able to settle his tax liabilities in a month. 
Thankfully, an LHDN officer named Raihan was polite and supportive enough to manage his case. He requested him to search for all his receipts just so he could reduce his tax liabilities. In the end, from RM50,000, he managed to reduce the enormous amount to RM40,000! Moreover, another good news came when he was allowed to pay it on a few installment basis. So to say, his hard work of searching through highs and lows was worthwhile to ease his burden at least. 
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/38569e63bfdad7ce76846a57cd5e277cb41a031a8d0d39fcf79a49543e2fb698" />
It can be said that Dr. Shazril truly learned his lesson. Now, he cultivates the habit of keeping all the receipts, arranging and sorting them accordingly for his own track record just so he can prove to LHDN whenever they are in quest of him. 
In one of his videos, he said, &ldquo;Pay your taxes. This is what contributes to the economy. Don&rsquo;t be like the old me, and fulfil your responsibilities.&rdquo; 
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/4231cee6d8e04df1305aa3b572599edcd6ac324b11f98e14286dd38b4ff22bce" />
This is to say, be it young or old, paying taxes is an inevitable process that everyone has to go through and is required to commit to. 
Here is a list of videos that he posted in his TikTok to alert and educate the public about paying taxes and the huge consequences of not doing so: 
Video 1: Received letters from LHDN twice asking him to visit its office which he previously thought was a scam.

Last Part Kantoi LHDN Belajarlah dari kesilapan sy yg lepas agar korang tak &ldquo;kena&rdquo; macam apa yg sy kena. IGNORANCE IS NOT BLISS when it comes to taxation. Kalau tak tahu, boleh belajar basic pencukaian kat Lhdntube di Youtube. Kongsilah video ni kat kawan2/ family members korang supaya mereka tak terhantuk sebelum tengadah. Thank u sudi ikut 3 episod slot Akasia sy.

Corntoz PINKO Takes A Tour Of The Klang Valley!

Whenever a tourist takes the opportunity to travel to a foreign country, surely they'll love to explore the food and beverages besides the scenic places that the country has to offer.
Here comes a social media personality and TikToker, Luke Damant who documented his trip around Malaysia on his&nbsp;his TikTok account <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@lukedamantclip">@lukedamantclip.</a> There were fragments of video clips showing how much he enjoyed while venturing to Kuala Lumpur, especially a pink drink that caught his attention. The drink in question is none other than our local beverage &lsquo;Sirap Bandung&rsquo;.

Curious by it, he asked a local what the pink drink was and the local told him that it was known as &lsquo;Sirap&rsquo; which many Malaysians associate with. At the same time, he was also keen to know what the Sirap was made of. This is where the drink vendor briefed him in terms of how the drink was prepared. 
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/f4ed4242e086f40f8b7b542c3cdb454b62435267f7f54312d73972acff61aa4b" />
Without thinking twice, he gave it a try to the four-ringgit drink because never try never know, right? 
Lo and behold, the Australian traveller came to be aware that the pinkish drink consisted of Amina Rose syrup, condensed milk, hot water as well as lots of ice cubes. 
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/78106582cbe4fc7a0a39ec2bf6a3323f49f89291563df1ad4994a54001ec24c9" />
He then recalled that the drink was similar to what he had in India and it tasted exactly the same! He said, &ldquo;It tastes flowery and like cotton candy at the same time. It&rsquo;s like, got the most unique taste, ever. This is so refreshing on a hot day here in Kuala Lumpur.&rdquo; 
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/949ddd7b56f65102a1f3a7fd448a41b07ce06cd233ab9360e7ddf8b2a3289c49" /> Looks like he's really enjoying the drink, right?
Amazed by the uniqueness of the drink, he concluded that it was a &ldquo;pink candy floss drink.&rdquo;

The video ends with him paying the cashier for his drink. Noting that it was RM4 as said by the seller, he passed on a five-ringgit note to her and asked her to keep the change. Wow, isn&rsquo;t Luke a generous tourist?

However pleased he was, there were netizens who were surprised and felt like he was being overcharged and that they were not unhappy about.

An RM4 drink may not be much for a tourist but it does weigh a lot to many Malaysians!

Aussie Tourist Leaves Malaysians Surprised With RM4 Iced Bandung Order In Kuala Lumpur!

Surviving in Malaysia can be challenging, given the current economic climate. However, with determination and perseverance, we can navigate this evolving landscape and make ends meet.
While it's undeniable that the cost of living has surged while our incomes remain stagnant, leading many Malaysians into debt, some are fortunate enough to have shelter over their heads, providing protection from the elements and a sense of comfort. Unfortunately, this isn't the case for everyone.
Ill-Advised Investment Scheme Leaves Him Homeless
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/2d830358469ad7fafcb33bee9391f1d2b239cebd5c9165d726f4f9bef764d144" />
Ariff Luqman Peters Lisut, a 27-year-old entrepreneur who once led a luxurious life, complete with beautiful homes and imported cars. However, his fortunes took a sharp downturn when he ventured into digital currency investments, ultimately leading to him losing his home.
Ariff was a rising star in the local music industry, but due to an ill-fated investment scheme, he found himself compelled to liquidate his cattle farming business, two houses, and three cars, including an imported vehicle and a van. This was to repay clients who had suffered losses in his investment program.
He revealed that the investments alone left him drowning in massive debt, owing up to RM1 million two years ago. As a result, he made the difficult choice to live in his Proton Wira, opting not to burden himself with renting a room.
"My mistake was placing too much trust in the investment and using my success as a businessman to attract public investments," he admitted. "The initial intention was to assist the public, but I never anticipated that some participants would vanish, leaving me to handle clients seeking refunds."
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/9ddb8024216a5eb32013becd96a27408c0d5f252806f712e0c995d5462174628" />
Despite liquidating his assets, it proved insufficient to settle his substantial debt. Ariff embarked on a diverse array of jobs to chip away at his financial obligations, including cleaning and sanitizing homes, crafting lyrics, designing business posters, copywriting, creating various video content, and providing delivery services.
Fast forward to 2023, Ariff has managed to secure a full-time job, yet he continues to juggle multiple side gigs in order to address the remaining RM100,000 of debt. His routine involves sleeping at the office from Monday to Friday and engaging in side jobs during the evenings. On weekends, he dedicates his time to working on music at a friend's studio. Despite this relentless work ethic, he remains steadfast in his decision not to rent a house or room, as he is determined not to burden himself further with financial obligations.
Took A While To Adapt To Living In His Car
Living this way was initially a challenge for Ariff, and he admitted that the first three months were particularly tough since it was a departure from his accustomed lifestyle. However, as time passed, he grew accustomed to it and even found it bearable, as long as he could secure some rest and seek shelter from both rain and sun.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/0f4450e4dc399ed5a6ad9bfae84967641da9d898b74756a598616582cefef2e4" />
Having commenced his business journey at the tender age of 20, Ariff now leads a solitary life, though he maintains contact with his father after having lost his mother to breast cancer eight years ago. He reminisces about a time when life was considerably more favourable, but with the various challenges that have arisen, he has adopted a willingness to pursue any lawful means of income generation.
Regarding his outstanding debt, he remains diligently committed to its repayment, with 90% of his earnings being allocated toward settling it. Reflecting on a challenging phase, he acknowledges the disappearance of some individuals who were present during better times, as they stopped responding to calls.
For the time being, Ariff has chosen to temporarily reside in his car and until he&rsquo;s successfully cleared all his debts then only consider renting a place.
Using Social Media To Seek Job Opportunities
Ariff occasionally posts videos on social media, shedding light on his current circumstances and the challenges he faces in life. Regrettably, some have misinterpreted his intentions, believing he is seeking sympathy or soliciting donations. However, his primary objective is to leverage social media as a platform to explore job opportunities.
In a recent video, he shared his experience of being invited onto Hot FM, where he was given the opportunity to promote his services, aiming to contribute to the resolution of his outstanding debt.
Here&rsquo;s some of his videos:

Let this be a reminder that nowadays there are many investment scam issues going on out there and unfortunately many Malaysians have fallen victim to these with the majority of the money being unrecoverable by Bank Negara Malaysia and the PDRM. 
Hopefully, Ariff is on the road to recovery and he can soon live the stable life he once lived. Hang in there Ariff, you got this!

Former Investor Lives In Car With RM1 Million Debt From Failed Investment Scheme

Many Malaysians prefer to live in Johor Bahru (JB) and cross the border to Singapore (SG) to work. This is due to the cheaper housing estate that JB offers which allows them to earn about 3.5 times more while working in Singapore. Thanks to the conversion rates of SG which motivates many Malaysians to cross the border for working purposes. 
But is it crossing the border daily worth waking up in the wee hours? 
On September 21, a Malaysian YouTuber named Chun Weng shared his first-hand experience and documented his journey from JB to SG as a means to explore the daily life of Malaysians commuting from JB to SG for work-related affairs and seek to gain insights about it. 
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/c4fe9d1c44ecfb0ace7cdc64ab112c31fcaaaf3aff6fbce56fa403f8490ec1a8" />
The Start Of His Day
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/8354311c4e863d25fb2e0237d35e94200b01975c3daae76e0b01b0c8b91bce1c" />
Starting his journey at 4.19am, he felt extremely exhausted from waking up very early since he wasn&rsquo;t used to it. He furthered on by saying that he had no soul since to him it was a heavy sacrifice that he had made for the first time. 
He then brushed his teeth and got himself ready for a Grab ride. It took him about 10 minutes to JB Central and he arrived at 5.50am which cost him RM5. As he arrived, he saw many netizens waving goodbyes to their loved ones and it was a bittersweet moment for Chun Weng to witness. 
The arduous moment came when he noticed a massive crowd who were trying to cross the border to SG. This sounds like &lsquo;Oh My God&rsquo; to him but still, he needed to go through it and there was nowhere to escape when he intended to take on the challenge. 
After thirty minutes of passing the immigration side, the clock ticked 6.30am but Chun Weng didn&rsquo;t stop there as he had to wait and queue for a bus in SG for about 20 to 30 minutes which ate up quite a lot of his time.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/19f7c8d92324428ac7b7ed78385fbaa6f58b330afb9304b28e2c3251f5426ee0" />
With much anticipation of him getting over the huge crowd, another unpleasant moment came when the bus ride that he took made him feel cramped despite it being only RM2.&nbsp;Being aware of the current situation, he decided to check OneMotoring just so he could use the platform to track the traffic along the Causeway and his prediction was true, &ldquo;it was extremely bad&rdquo;, as he said. 
A moment later, he reached the Kanji MRT in Singapore and there was no ample time for him to spare because he had to rush to catch a train to his &lsquo;workplace&rsquo; which is located in Woodlands, and the journey took him about 10 minutes costing RM1. 
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/8f64f2406f1a676473faa9d024e8d20f863dc9cf125de8c93e219008d0efce37" />
The clock rang at 7.45am and this is when he settled down and started his work. This is to say the entire journey from JB to SG took him nearly 3.5 hours just to work. 
Comparison Of Prices Between M&rsquo;sia &amp; S&rsquo;pore
It was 12pm and Chun Weng planned to have his lunch so he checked out the food and supermarket prices in SG.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/09ab2fb6fbc05cdb7e62cf05763b75986ab4696717ab8f6e844bce7262b8315f" />
He ordered a plate of chicken rice for $3.50 whereas for Hokkien mee was $4. Comparing the prices, he mentioned that there wasn&rsquo;t much difference at all between the prices from Kuala Lumpur and Singapore. 
However, the purchasing power of the Singapore dollar is much higher as compared to Malaysia despite the pay being about the same in each country&rsquo;s own currency. 
To provide an example, he furthered on by claiming that to buy an iPhone, someone only needs to work for a fortnight in Singapore, unlike someone who works in Malaysia and needs one and a half or two months of his salary to purchase it. Malaysians, can you imagine how much of our hard-earned money we could save? It's no wonder that many Malaysians aspire to work in Singapore while also enjoying the advantages of reasonably priced housing in JB. 
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/4faeeaa03f9f0189473e4d98fc352c767b020684ef3ee3389d9df32a2ecddfdc" />
Chun Weng then hopped to a supermarket to compare the price difference in groceries. For example, if you compare 41 cents of egg in Singapore with 67 cents of egg in Malaysia, there wasn&rsquo;t much difference. He was astonished that the price of Maggi in Singapore was much more affordable than in Malaysia. He expressed, &ldquo;dollar to dollar, it&rsquo;s so much cheaper.&rdquo; Not only that, Starbucks and Mcdonald's also seemed to be more affordable. 
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/e6cdaf93fcda7f4f3c762d8227151d7a27c911457d343586e7ab3117b9330bf1" />
He believes that this can be due to the expensive housing estate in which Singaporeans invested much where it was 10% higher as compared to the rest of the world. We know Singapore is an expensive city to live in and this is the lifelong burden that Singaporeans have to bear. 
Therefore, Chun Weng suggested that if you would like to kill two birds with one stone, it is by staying in JB and working in Singapore because you would have a cheaper housing estate as well as a higher salary. 
Interviewing A Seasoned Traveller To Gain Deeper Insights 
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/e9099c9cfa4277c2a2a74a5a886423fc03f201667d1ac992a91ef3065b19dc40" />
During his trip, he had an opportunity to converse with Ash who has been a seasoned cross-border worker for eight years. She shared how the rise of the conversion rate between Singapore and Malaysia has lured many to embrace and accept the cross-border work routine. 
She added on with her statement, &ldquo;I think it makes sense, let&rsquo;s say (if you are) in Malaysia and going to Singapore to look for a job, then the salary will be like SGD 2,000 (RM6,800). The conversion rate is like 3.4x now.&rdquo;
Chun Weng really saluted and respected Ash and others who were willing to cross the border every day to Singapore. She even revealed that she woke up at 4am and had only three hours of sleep. To Chun Weng&rsquo;s notice, her lifestyle shocked him a lot. Ash told him if you do not mind the strenuous exercise, then crossing the border would be a reasonable and appropriate approach. If not, it is best to find a reasonable stay in Singapore, and that will avoid much hassle. 
The End of His Day
It was at 4.40pm and he began to prepare himself to go back home. Despite the tiredness that came earlier around 3pm, he still needs to make his way back to Malaysia. 
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/a3744d57507f2c3fd30994b3c20474b14d8aedabbae8aa15dc1cab9c37c5bcd7" />
To him, it wasn&rsquo;t a fun experience to endure as it had been taking a toll on him. He rushed to the bus and then headed to Woodlands checkpost which took him about 15 minutes. Later on, he had to scan his passport and then he had a bus ride to get to the border to in the end reach Malaysia. Overall, it was indeed an uncomfortable travelling experience for him since he had to prepare himself mentally and physically to be fit for the challenge. 
Here is the full video of him sharing his experience travelling from JB to SG:

A higher currency rate in Singapore is truly a reward for Malaysians who work there. However, there are sacrifices that need to be made to enjoy the benefits.

A Day In The Life: Malaysian's Commute To Singapore Leaves Him Exhausted!

As years go by, the standard of living in our country has not plummeted instead, it reaches way beyond our affordability, and worst still, our working salary did not increase either. Therefore, it is indeed a concern to many since it has become a major problem that they have to bear daily. 
From a survey carried out in 2019, it seems that on average, about RM20 is spent on daily meals per person. However, recently, according to Sinar Harian, the average Malaysian spending is between RM200 to RM2,500 monthly just to eat out at restaurants.
According to Free Malaysia Today (FMT), the rise in the cost of living can be partly from the &ldquo;global factors.&rdquo; University Keusahawan Koperasi Malaysia&rsquo;s Abu Sofian Yaacob mentioned that global factors like the Ukraine-Russian war, are said as the cause that contributes to inflation and impacts the cost of living among Malaysians. As such, it is beyond the government's control when external factors erupt.

It's no surprise that the wallets of young people are feeling the strain, with beverages now costing as much as full meals. Nevertheless, many youths remain willing to splurge on them.
Money Management Tips For Youths
1. Write Down Your Needs vs. Your Wants 
Prioritize what is important for you so that you will not spend the unnecessary. Have a track record to differentiate between your needs and wants and this will allow you to spend your money wisely than before. So, be a smart shopper rather than a tempting buyer to buy everything you want to in the end regret that it is all a waste. 
2. Practicing Financial Planning &amp; Budgeting 
With the awareness that Malaysia&rsquo;s cost of living is increasing at an alarming rate, it is vital for youths to have a financial plan so that their finances are managed effectively. Create a monthly budget for yourself and list down all your income followed by your savings and expenses. Bear in mind that the total of your income should equate to or exceed the total of your expenses just so you do not overspend or else, you will be in deficit status. 
You can use free budgeting tools like Google Sheets, Mint, Goodbudget, Empower, or GnuCash as a means to monitor your daily or monthly spending.

3. Cultivate The Saving Habit 
Whenever you have income earned, start saving some just so you can use it during the rainy days. As a proverb in Malay says, &ldquo;sedikit-dikit, lama-lama menjadi bukit.&rdquo; The moment you cultivate the saving habit daily, it will be unlikely for you to overspend. When saving can benefit your long-term expenses, you need not worry much about future spending since there is a surplus to your expenditure. 
Above all, you are encouraged to look for alternative options such as meal prepping or cooking at home when eating and drinking outside seem to be more costly with the rise of the standard of living. 
With that, we hope Malaysians like youth will be wiser in their spending as well as educate themselves more on personal financing for their own betterment.

Malaysians’ Extravagant Lifestyle Amidst High Living Standards And Potential Solutions

When it comes to identifying those everyday annoyances we face in Malaysia, a lot of us can relate to issues like our public transport, high prices for everyday items, and lately, the rising costs of food.
Don't believe it? Just think about how much we spend on drinks like Starbucks &ndash; it can add up to the price of a whole meal! The topic of "mixed rice" has been catching the attention of many netizens, who are worried about how it's affecting their wallets.
RM28 Just For Economy Rice?!
Recently, X users (formally known as Twitter) @brgsjks and @Cikgu_Anep sparked a discussion about the rising prices of mixed rice. They shared their experiences of paying RM24 and RM28 for their meals, expressing their concern that the cost of this everyday dish is getting a bit excessive.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
RM28.50. Ikan bawal tu aku rasa dia letak RM15. Ayam L tu RM10. Nasi suku pinggan RM2. Kicap bawang sesudu tu RM 1.50. Entahlah. Aku tak tahu nak kata mahal ke tak. Korang rasa? Tapi termenung jugaklah masa makan tu. Yelah, lunch saja RM30. Koyak juga abang dek😂 <a href="https://t.co/ZHSghK7MUr">https://t.co/ZHSghK7MUr</a> <a href="https://t.co/08qMqY1b76">pic.twitter.com/08qMqY1b76</a>
&mdash; Cikgu_Anep (@Cikgu_Anep) <a href="https://twitter.com/Cikgu_Anep/status/1699599691099623692?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 7, 2023</a></blockquote>

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

In a post by @Cikgu_Anep, he meticulously broke down the costs of his food choices: fish at RM15, chicken at RM10, rice at RM2, and a spoonful of sambal with onions at RM1.50. With a hint of sarcasm, he questioned whether this meal was worth the price, prompted by @brgsjks's complaint about being charged RM24 for a meal consisting of rendang, rice, and squid.
Let's delve a bit deeper into the pricing. The market rate for 1 kilogram of chicken in Malaysia is approximately RM10.33, but keep in mind that prices may vary depending on your location, and it could be slightly cheaper in rural areas. On the other hand, seafood, especially squid, has consistently been on the pricey side, ranging between RM34 and RM38 per kilogram. As for fish, Pomfret (ikan bawal) typically falls in the RM31 to RM38 per kilogram range, with seasonal fluctuations, especially during the rainy season.
Given these market prices for protein, it's not surprising that many food vendors find themselves compelled to charge higher prices to turn a profit. Additionally, we should consider that these establishments have more expenses than just buying meat. They also need to acquire cooking essentials, compensate their staff, and cover rental costs for their premises.
Beyond the costs of ingredients and operational expenses, another factor contributing to higher food prices is the overall high cost of living. This is acutely felt by many Malaysians who frequently dine out, whether due to their hectic work schedules or simply to avoid traffic when heading home.
Netizens Share Their Thoughts 
Browsing through the comments, of the post, many netizens have raised a couple of concerns regarding eating out and how stores have been pricing their food randomly despite if one were to take a similar portion. This issue is typically seen when we tend to take an extra serving of items such as vegetables which typically tends to be the case at mamaks.
Here&rsquo;s some of the comments by netizens:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-conversation="none">

Perhaps its time for stores to be more transparent when it comes to how much the price their items. It&rsquo;s understandable that people do need to make a living but at what cost? If you thought mixed rice was expensive, remember that we live in a world where Nasi Kandar in Penang can cost up to RM100 which is easily a couple of meals throughout the week for some people.

Working As An IT Support After Graduation
On Instagram, there is a very popular page that&rsquo;s been sharing the stories submitted by Malaysians about their work experience, struggles and insights called <a href="https://www.instagram.com/malaysianpaygap/">Malaysian Pay Gap</a>.
His initial foray into the IT field led him to a desk-side IT support role at a hospital. The position wasn't particularly glamorous, and the compensation, at RM1,800, wasn't exceptionally enticing. While some might consider this a decent starting salary, the stark truth was that he had to remain on-call 24/7 to address emergencies. After a year in this demanding role, he ultimately decided to resign, citing the job's intense nature as the primary reason for his departure.
<img src="https://media3.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExcGVpdnZzYzk2Y29hd3gxNjNudHVpdG5vNmFmdTYyMWJ5anFpYmNldSZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/fXEoU1jvQz2ewchSEk/giphy.gif" alt="Headache I Cant GIF by Solomon Ray" />
His next career move took him to a local software company where he worked in customer support. The role at this company offered a more favourable job description compared to his previous one, and over the course of three years, his salary increased from RM3,000 to RM3,500. While this was a positive development, he began to feel professionally stagnant and believed that there were limited opportunities for growth. Consequently, he made the decision to resign and actively started searching for a new job.
Realising That There Was A Hidden Gem This Whole Time
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/f9957d736c406fe6ddc16b7ba8d85085a3fb549c159f046f8ccb39528c085114" />
While he was on the hunt for new job prospects, he stumbled upon a goldmine of opportunities for help desk agents. What caught his eye was that speaking multiple languages could land you a better pay cheque.
&ldquo;I have self-learned Japanese for a long time, though not super proficient but it is serviceable. I then registered for the Japanese-Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) N2, scored it and used it to secure my 3rd job.&rdquo;
After snagging a job as an IT help desk staffer in a multinational company's shared service team, catering to Japanese clients, he was pleasantly surprised by his starting salary of RM4,800. Over the next two years, it crept up to RM5,300. Although he was content with his pay, another company dangled a tempting offer in front of him&mdash;RM8,000 in total, comprising a base salary of RM6,400 and a language allowance of RM1,600.
<img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/857b30022420846685a957c77cf9a03c/tumblr_ms9z9hrsBw1rc7ciao1_1280.gif" alt="Tumblr: Image" width="380" height="214" />
At the end of the day, the man took a moment to ponder his journey over the years. He acknowledged that if he hadn't been willing to venture beyond his comfort zone, he wouldn't have found himself in the position he occupies today.
&ldquo;Learning a new language and working in the said language environment has grown my career and broadened my horizon beyond my expectations. I can now watch anime without subtitles and travel to Japan with zero language issues,&rdquo; he shared.
He also left words of encouragement and told others to pick up a new language when possible as it could open up a door of opportunities in the future.
Now that&rsquo;s quite the encouragement. To be fair, as Malaysians, many of us are bilingual or even trilingual but it&rsquo;s no harm to always add a language or two to our vocabulary and expand our horizons. Hopefully, this will encourage others to always strive for knowledge and to perhaps step out of their comfort zone.

Looks like it’s time to pick up another language!

Malaysian's Language Skills Propel Salary Soaring From RM1.8K To RM8K

For countless young Malaysians, the post-university quest for financial stability looms large. In a challenging Malaysian economy where 'living comfortably' often feels like a distant dream, many of us find ourselves juggling multiple jobs to cover bills and debts.
However, the story of one remarkable Malaysian defies the odds, as he achieved the unthinkable &ndash; earning what might take years for others in just two remarkable weeks!
Student Rakes In RM100k By Selling Clothes
Meet 22-year-old Muhammad Amin Syarifuddin Aziz, who accomplished what many deemed 'unattainable.' In August 2022, while pursuing his education at Poly-Tech Mara College (KPTM) in Bangi Selangor, he ventured into the realm of clothing entrepreneurship. This bold move was spurred by the high market demand and a multitude of fashion trends sweeping through the industry.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/17bac68d3867c68f9b03b8380d51b4163541152c2c9b479070318a1c5fa11145" /> Back when Amin sold corn juice to earn a living. 
Amin initially left school several years ago without much direction and ventured into the corn juice business, where he managed to earn approximately RM1,000 per day. Subsequently, he returned to his education, motivated by his desire not to be a financial burden on his parents.
His decision to pursue higher education was influenced by his parent's concern for his future. In response, he committed to continuing his studies to honour their wishes. He specifically opted for a Diploma in Business Management, aiming to acquire knowledge that would not only assist him in becoming a successful individual but also in advancing his business ventures.
A Progressive Start To His Business 
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/86437d0d2c7e1cfaf45cd7131132c932ebfc61a3348ff19f9d5e22e7eae560a4" />
Initially, when he first started his business, Amin only managed to sell 300 pieces of clothing and it was a pretty slow start. But thanks to the help of his teammates, he&rsquo;s managed to record sales of the shirts by earning RM100,000 in just two weeks.
He was very thankful when he managed to sell that many shirts and as for the profits, he has no intention of making any as he would like to help other students generate income and intends to help ease the burden of parents who have been bearing the cost of their children&rsquo;s education.
Since he started his shirt business, Amin has managed to help generate income for 60 agents among students and the challenge of his business is something he enjoys as it requires him to come up with strategies so he can balance both his business and studies at the same time.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/3f45381bf373841b2023629550aec05f516997b7f9a463d73db13dd9103f7314" /> Hafiz Mahamad (left) and Amin (right).
To end it off, Amin also shared that his idol behind his shirt business is entrepreneur Hafiz Mahamad. He also shared his interest in clothing since he was a kid and that working brings him joy and only wants to see the success of the business he&rsquo;s worked in.
&ldquo;I really hope to meet him one day and would love to find out the secrets he has so I too can achieve success like him,&rdquo; he said.
Now that&rsquo;s very inspirational. This goes to show that no matter what you do in life if you keep the grind going, you&rsquo;re bound to achieve the unthinkable.
