Let's do some simple calculations here.
In Malaysia, the average family income is RM3,000/month (where father works, mother doesn't).
Let's do some simple calculations here.
In Malaysia, the average family income is RM3,000/month (where father works, mother doesn't).
I understand there are many families whose monthly income does not reach RM3,000, but, to make things simple, let's take RM3,000 as the figure. Ok lah, right?
Okay, let's start rolling with a family which has Papa, Mama, 1 daughter and 1 son. Ngam-ngam ... (That's my category)
Calculation starts ...
Electricity and water bill: RM100
(No air-con, No home theatre, No water heater ... ok?)
Phone bill (Telekom): RM100
(Internet streamxy RM68 + land line RM25 = RM93, round-up to RM100 la) ...mine at least RM 125.00 not included RM 300.00 Handphone bill per month!!
Meals for a happy family: RM775
(3 meals on RM25/day 4 persons. Forget about makan in restaurant ya)
Papa makan/teh-tarik during working hrs: RM155
(RM5/day, RM5 ... can eat what?)
Car repayment: RM400
(A proton saga aeroback, 7 yrs repayment) ...mine RM575.00 on 7 years also...Wira 1.3 Aeroback...basic...
Petrol (living in city, traffic-jam): RM300
(go to work, bring son to school, only can afford one car running. NOT YET CONSIDER PETROL INCREASE 40.8%) ..Before increase RM 500 - 600 permonth..after increase..scare to calculate..Insurance: RM650 (cancelled)
(Kids, wife and self. Forget about insurance la… no money to pay, let's drop it) ...serious thinking of cancel some insrance policy...
House repayment: RM750
(low cost housing repayment for 30 yrs, retired still have to work to pay!)...RM950 minus maintainence, sinking fund, car parking + +
Tuition: RM80
(got that cheap meh? i don't think so)
Older children pocket money to school: RM20
(RM1/day, eat bread?)
School fees: RM30
(enough ah?)
School books and etc: RM100
(always got extra to pay in school)
Younger children milk powder: RM50
(cannot have the DHA, BHA, PHA one, too expensive) ...per month RM 200.00!!!
Miscellaneous: RM100
(shampoo, rice, sauce, toilet paper, saman, etc.)
Oh wait! I have to stop here, so ...
No Astro,
No movie at cinema,
No DVD,
No CD,
No toys
No computer,
No KFC, No McDonald’s,
No insurance
No jalan-jalan makan angin (vacation)
No chit chat on phone with grandparents, etc.
Hopefully nothing breaks down for repair.
Let's use a calculator to total up ... WALAO EH! Shit! RM2,960 already ...
EPF belum potong, income tax lagi … oledi RM2,960 ...
How to survive lah tuan-tuan dan puan-puan sekalian?
How to change? Don't eat? Don't work? Don't send children to school and study?
Besides that, I believe in Malaysia’s population, there are millions of rakyat Malaysia which still don't earn RM3,000/month!
What is this?
Our politicians must be mad!
