<p>In a post shared on the Chinese social media platform <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://www.xiaohongshu.com/explore/65b470be000000002c012f80">XiaoHongShu</a>, the man named JS Lim revealed that he purchased a RM1.5 million semi-detached home in Johor Bahru at the age of 26.</p>
<p>Lim, who works in the funeral industry, expressed pride in this accomplishment, considering it the best gift he has ever given his parents.</p>
<p>&#8220;In fact, this is the second house I&#8217;ve purchased. The﻿ first one was for investment,&#8221; he wrote in the caption of his post.</p>

<h2>Coming from a modest background, Lim emphasised the hard work he put in to achieve this milestone</h2>

<div class="segment-body">
<div class="text">
<div class="">
<p>He said that he began working at the age of 13 and often took on jobs during school holidays to financially support his family.</p>
<p>Lim added that his father&#8217;s work-related injuries served as motivation for him to strive for a better future.</p>
<p>&#8220;My father sustained hip injuries at work and has since been unable to work for long periods of time.</p>
<p>&#8220;Since then, I&#8217;ve realised how important it is to be financially stable on your own,&#8221; he wrote.</p>

<h2>A Malaysian woman shared her disappointment on social media after she was offered only RM1,600 a month for a graphic designer job</h2>

<div class="">
<p>In a 57-second <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://www.tiktok.com/@mastura_aaaaaaa/video/7329759853990137106?lang=en">clip</a> posted on her TikTok account, she shared that she received the salary offer after attending a job interview in Kuala Lumpur, where she had brought along her bachelor&#8217;s degree certificate.</p>
<p>The woman then claimed that the company used the excuse that they could only offer her a low wage because she had no job experience prior to the interview.</p>
<p>&#8220;I have a degree and they only offered me RM1,600 monthly salary because I don&#8217;t have any work experience.</p>
<p>&#8220;If I had applied to work in the retail industry with no job experience, they would&#8217;ve offered me at least RM3,000 a month,&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>Upset by the offer, she expressed that the experience left her feeling hopeless, especially since she had travelled all the way from her hometown to try and make a living in the capital city.</p>

<h2>A Malaysian man recently took to a Facebook group to share the challenges he encountered after working in Singapore for over two decades</h2>
</div>
<div class="segment-body">
<div class="text">
<div class="">
<p>According to <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://www.mstar.com.my/lokal/viral/2024/01/31/selepas-20-tahun-rakyat-malaysia-baru-sedar-penat-kerja-di-singapura-bujang-simpanan-rm12-juta-tak-tahu-nak-buat-apa">mStar</a>, the 42-year-old man said he began working as an engineer in Singapore in 2003.</p>
<p>During his tenure in the country, he disclosed that he successfully accumulated SGD354,258 (RM1.24 million) in his Central Provident Fund (CPF) account.</p>
<p><b>CPF serves as a social security and retirement savings scheme for employees in Singapore, similar to Malaysia&#8217;s Employees Provident Fund (EPF).</b></p>
<p>&#8220;If your CPF has accumulated to this extent, what should you do? I&#8217;m still contemplating what to do with this money because I&#8217;m no longer able to work in Singapore and commute daily.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s hard to quit my job, considering of my current position as an engineer with a monthly salary of SGD5,000 (RM17,618). When I saw the total amount [in my CPF account]﻿, I felt like withdrawing it and enjoying the fruits of my labour,&#8221; he said.</p>

<h2>After dealing with challenges in Singapore, he now faces a new dilemma in retirement back in Malaysia</h2>
</div>
<div class="segment-body">
<div class="text">
<div class="">
<p>In the comments section, the man also expressed concern about his future upon returning to Malaysia, having spent his formative years working at a factory in Singapore.</p>
<p>&#8220;The original plan was to work until the age of 55, but when I got promoted, I felt stressed with the increased workload. That&#8217;s when I realised I needed to explore other options before chronic illness sets in,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>He added that he does not intend to use his CPF funds for property investment due to the  high capital requirements and his inability to manage them.</p>
<p>Seeking insights and suggestions, he turned to the Facebook group for guidance on his next chapter in Malaysia, as he doesn&#8217;t have a wife to turn to, and his parents asked him to figure out his future on his own.</p>

<div class="segment-body">

<div class="">
<p>Most of the Facebook group members suggested looking into business and real estate investing, while others emphasised the significance of taking a break and rediscovering happiness after years of hard work.</p>
<p>&#8220;You should invest in the afterlife. Seek happiness, and get closer to God. Go do some &#8216;healing&#8217; activities and enjoy God&#8217;s creation while serving those in need,&#8221; commented one user.</p>
<p>Others suggested the man to contemplate marriage, with some users even expressing interest in becoming potential life partners.</p>
<p>&#8220;Get married, brother, it&#8217;s time to settle down,&#8221; wrote one user.</p>
<p>&#8220;You&#8217;re not married yet? Well, I don&#8217;t need a dowry. In fact, the wedding doesn&#8217;t have to be extravagant, I&#8217;ll just follow your lead. As long as you&#8217;re not tired of searching for love, it will come on its own,&#8221; commented another.</p>

<p>After dropping out of high school at the age of 15, Nafili&#8217;s opportunities were limited. He was only able to earn RM700 to RM800 a month collecting and loading palm fruit, and the laborious work took a toll.</p>
<p>Nevertheless, things started to change for Nafili when he got a second chance through the <b>SOLS Foundation Solar Academy </b>scholarship.</p>
<p>The programme not only provided him with education, but also an opportunity to work in the solar industry. While his journey had its ups and downs, Nafili saw a gradual transformation as he ventured into practical training and personal development. Once shy and hesitant, Nafili now confidently interacts with clients and seeks professional advice on site, while learning to be resilient when facing challenges.</p>
<p>Nafili also makes almost three times more than he did before, and is able to contribute to his family financially. Speaking to SAYS, Nafili said that he hopes to save up for a motorcycle, rent a room, build an emergency fund, and contribute more to his family in the next two years.</p>

<p>A lot of what the Solar Academy does is made possible thanks to generous contributions from the public and sponsors like UOB Malaysia.</p>
<p>These contributions not only go towards training students throughout the year-long programme, but also extend to fund the organisation&#8217;s CSR efforts that impact communities and change lives. Ultimately, SOLS Foundation is extremely grateful for long-term donors and partners that allow them to continue making free education a reality for the B40 community.</p>
