Let's to do some calculations here. In Malaysia the average family income is RM3000 (Father works,mother doesnt). I understand there are a lot of families whose income don't reach RM3000, but, to make things simple, lets take RM3000 as the figure. ok la right?
Okay, let's start rolling with a family which has
Papa, Mama, 1 daughter and 1 son. ..
Calculation starts...
Electricity and water bil RM100 (no aircond, no home theatre, no water heater k?)
Telekom and Handphone bil RM100 (cannot make a lot of calls one you know? NO Streamyx also)
Meal for the whole happy family RM775 (3 meals on RM25/day, RM25 for 4 persons????)
Papa makan/teh tarik during working hours RM155 (RM5/day, RM5 can eat what?)
Car repayment RM400 (a proton saga aeroback, 7 years repayment)
Petrol RM300 (Living in City, Jam) Go to work, bring son to school, only can afford one car running.
Insurance RM650, (kids, wife and myself).
House repayment RM750 (Low cost housing repayment for 30 years, retired still have to work to pay house!)
Tuition RM80 (got that cheap meh?? No, I don't think so)
Older children pocket money @ school RM20 (RM1/day, eat bread??)
School fees RM30 (enough ah??)
School books and etc etc. RM100 (always got extra to pay in school)
Younger children milk powder RM50 (cannot have the DHA, BHA, PHA one, expensive) Miscellaneous RM100 (shampoo, rice, sauce,toilet paper) oh wait!!!
I have to stop here, so... No Astro, no movie @ cinema, no DVD, no CD, no online, cannot KFC, cannot Mc Donald, cannot go Park walk during weekend(petrol expensive), no chit chat on phone with grandparents, and etc... Let's use a calculator to total up... RM3610 already.. EPF belum potong, income tax lagi,........ oledi more by RM610...
Our Deputy PrimeMinister ask us to change lifestyle? How tochange? Don't eat? Don't work? Don't sendchildren to school and study? Besides that, I
believe in Malaysia population, there are lots ofRakyat Malaysia which still don't earnRM3000/month!!!
What is this? Ini lah Malaysia Boleh.. Sorry.. it should be Malaysians Boleh, because we're still able to survive !!
