Internship salary vs intern value โ€” where is the gap?

by Adlina RamliยทSeptember 28, 2025

Companies expect fresh analytical skills and energy from interns but pay RM800. Some interns build tools that save thousands monthly. The wage hasn't caught up to the skill expectation.

The gap between intern expectations and intern pay has widened significantly since 2020. Market needs to catch up.

Some interns build things that generate millions in revenue. RM800/month does not reflect that contribution at all.
