Mr Jeremy Lim, vice-president of the Restaurant and Bistro Owners Association in Malaysia, told NST that the RM5,000 salary was not as “luxurious” as it seems.

Mr Amirul Hakimi Ali, manager of Ali Roti Canai Tsunami in Kuala Lumpur, told ST that “a roti canai chef in Malaysia would normally earn between RM1,000 and RM2,000”, and that a salary of RM5,000 would usually be for someone more educated and with more experience.
