To have a monthly wage of RM5,000 is considered underpaid for some people, especially the ones who are living in the city.
Recently, a TikTok video of a Bangladeshi man in Malaysia revealing his payslip has gone viral on social media. In the video, a man can be heard asking the foreign worker, who is sitting on a tractor about his monthly pay. The foreign worker said that his monthly pay is as much as RM5,400!
He then proceeds to show his payslip amounting to RM4,917 after the deductions.
“I will send an amount of RM4,500 to my hometown and the remaining RM500 is for my own expenses.”
The Bangladeshi man works as a tractor driver in Ladang Mawar, Kemaman, Terengganu.

In the meantime, some netizens also praise him for sending such a huge amount to the hometown.
“Sending RM4,500 to his hometown and RM500 for his own use. Good job! It’s weird why our own people refuse to do this kind of work.”
“That’s a good habit. His sweats and efforts are meaningful. It’s hard-earned money.”
