The average Malaysian graduate earns more than the Presidents / Prime Ministers of these countries
In Malaysia, the Prime Minister earns more more than RM22,000 per month (basic salary).
Let’s compare the average salaries of an experienced graduate in Malaysia working with the private sector in the Klang Valley with heads of states or heads of the executive branch of government in other countries.
In cash-strapped Zimbabwe, it was recently reported that even president Robert Mugabe and prime minister Morgan Tsvangirai get a maximum of USD100 per month.
In the Philippines, the constitution stipulates that the president’s annual salary is USD7,084 (RM2,100 per month).
In Laos, the president’s salary is USD186.26 a month (about RM650).
In Vietnam, the president gets USD240 a month and the Prime Minister USD230.
In Bangladesh, the prime minister gets USD477 a month (RM1,700).
In Nepal, the prime minister earns USD343 a month (RM1,200).

Dommon: Full sentence is: “In the Philippines, the constitution stipulates that the president’s annual salary is USD7,084 (RM2,100 per month).”
USD7,084 annually is about RM24,800 annually, which works out to be about RM2,100 per month.
