Biotech grads deserve more


A JUNIOR colleague recently told me she was offered a position as a laboratory research assistant in Kuala Lumpur with a monthly salary of RM1,500. She is a bioscience graduate.

I was not shocked when I heard this because some of my relatives who had graduated from university with a bioscience degree were paid the same amount when they started their careers. And that was 20 years ago!

Limited time offer:
Just RM5 per month.

Monthly Plan

RM13.90/month
