N/O Level Holder
Hi I am a guy with N level only and working as a Admin Supvr/Secretary in govt sector for abt 10years. After 10 years my pay is only $2100.
Recently I went to a stat board organisation for a job interview and base on the jobscope (quite similiar to my current one) i gave my salary expectation of 15% more. Am I asking too much? Of course there are alot of pple with better qualification and fresh from school can take up the job with lower pay.

Since you are moving to a stat board (still government to government) I guess they would at most match your current pay.

Stat boards & civil service share largely the same pay matrix, so difference won't be big.
To be frank 15% increment will bring your pay to $2.4k, that is way too high for a N level holder, almost equal to a local uni grad liao.

Whatever the case may be, you screwed up your studies in the past and now are stuck. You have 3 choices left if you don't want to spend the rest of your life rotting on a 2k pay.
1) Invest time, effort & money in upgrading your education (Diploma, NITEC, professional courses etc.)
2) Be an entrepreunur
3) Take up a pay for performance job, i.e. sales incentive or business results oriented
If you are not willing to do any of these, I can tell you jump where also the same. Nobody is going to pay much more than $2k for a N Level holder. In fact, the reason you get to $2k is because you stayed in civil service long enough to enjoy the normal standard increase, otherwise I doubt you will even reach $2k in private sector.
Do something & stop senselss complains about life.

It's not impossible to earn more than $2k or even $3k; however, you will have to work your way up to it.
It might be a good idea to pursue some private education courses. See if your employer will subsidise such courses. Also ask them about your RoA (Route of Advancement). This will give you a better understanding of how your pay scale will progress, with or without a degree.
See here and decide if you really want a degree:

Best of luck!
