Not sure if this is a realistic figure in prc. But if can send this amount back plus money for her folks plus paying rent and living expenses here, and still find it worthwhile to continue working in this line - it must mean that her revenue earnings are easily touching 10k before deducting all these expenses.

Not to forget that the shop boss set target for them every month, if cannot hit then they get fined. This implies the cost of supporting phantom worker CPF that is passed to the ml. If their sales is not good and not enough to cover the phantom worker CPF, then they have to top up with this fine.

Small offences are also fined. Room not cleaned properly. Damaged toilet fixture. Take extra off hours or day off work, even with MC, get fined.

And they still find it worth their while! So just imagine what they earn (before deducting all these costs).

Definitely earn quite a lot la...if not they won't be staying for so long. In fornt of us they try to act very "chang"惨!
