We recommend verifying critical information through official government sources, including the Department of Statistics Malaysia (DOSM), when making important financial decisions.

Your use of our website constitutes your acceptance of this disclaimer and our terms of use. If you do not agree with any part of this disclaimer, please discontinue using our services immediately.

No Professional Advice

The content available on our platform is provided for informational and educational purposes only and should not be construed as professional financial, legal, tax, or investment advice. While we endeavor to present accurate information about wage growth trends, minimum wage revisions, productivity-wage relationships, and real wage calculations, we are not qualified to provide personalized financial or legal guidance tailored to your specific circumstances.

Before making any significant financial decisions based on information found on our website—such as investment choices, employment negotiations, or long-term financial planning—we strongly encourage you to consult with qualified professionals, including certified financial advisors, accountants, or legal counsel. The relationship between wage growth and cost of living is complex and multifaceted, influenced by numerous economic factors that vary by individual situation, industry, and region within Malaysia.

We do not assume any responsibility for decisions made based on the information provided through our platform. You acknowledge that your use of our educational materials is at your own risk, and we shall not be held liable for any consequences arising from reliance on the content we publish.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim all liability for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, our website or any content therein. This includes but is not limited to damages related to loss of profits, data loss, business interruption, or personal injury, regardless of whether such liability is based on contract, tort, strict liability, or any other legal theory.

We are not responsible for third-party content, external links, or references to government data sources. While we strive to link to accurate and current DOSM surveys and official wage statistics, we cannot guarantee the accuracy or availability of external resources. Any reliance on third-party data remains your sole responsibility.

In no event shall our total liability to you for all damages, losses, and causes of action exceed the amount you have paid, if any, for accessing our services. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain liabilities, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you. However, we will apply the maximum limitation permitted by applicable law in your jurisdiction.
