This is what employers advertise, not what lands in your bank account. Malaysian ads often quote a wide range, and a figure may be basic pay or basic pay plus allowances, the ad rarely says which. Treat it as a yardstick to check an offer against, not a promise. Only 48 of 200 ads in this read stated a salary — the band is built from the priced subset.
