Anyway, they usually offer pay base on some sort of formulas and calculations. I've been to interviews at 2 stat board before and they didn't increase when I ask for higher pay. So even if you call them now to ask for higher pay, I believe very very high chance they won't increase the pay too.

Ok.. I have taken note of your advice.. Thanks for it rollbread! My ex colleague also said that it will look bad on me though.. Yes, the hiring manager is my big boss, who is the Assistant Director! I certainly will not want to cast a bad impression to them as that will affect my performance bonus..
But come to think back, previously I DREW $2.4K in private sector, and I don't know why I never indicate high expected salary where I have 3 years of experience from the private sector previously! zzzz haiz..
Appreciate your kind advice! (:
