Can a family man with Salary RM3,000 survive in Malaysia
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 ....
Calculation starts...
Electricity and water bill: RM100 (No air-con, No home theatre, No water heater ... ok?)
Phone bill ( Telekom): RM100
Meals for a happy family: RM775 (3 meals on RM25/day, RM25 for 4 persons...?)
Papa makan / teh-tarik during working hrs: RM155 (RM5/day, RM5 ... can eat what?)
Car repayment: RM400 (A proton saga aeroback, 7 yrs repayment)
Petrol (living in city, traffic-jam): RM300 (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 yrs, retired still have to work to pay!)
Tuition: RM80 (got that cheap meh? i don't think so)
Older children pocket money @ 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, expensive)
Oh wait!!! I have to stop here, so... No Astro, no movie @ cinema, no DVD, no CD, no online, cannot KFC, cannot McDonald, 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... WALAO EH! ****! RM3,610 already...
EPF belum potong, income tax lagi........oledi RM3,610 ....
How to survive lah tuan-tuan dan puan-puan sekalian ???
Our Deputy Prime Minister asked us to change lifestyle?
How to change? Don't eat? Don't work? Don't send children to school and study?
Besides that, I believe in Malaysia population, there are millions of rakyat Malaysia which still don't earn RM3,000/month!!!
What is this? Inilah Malaysia Boleh... Sorry ... it should be Malaysians Boleh , because we're still alive and kicking!!
Our politicians must be mad!!!!
Please forward and comment boleh or tak boleh. No wonder so many Ah Loong around lah....
Berbelanja dengan berhemat dan jangan berlagak macam orang kaya. Ukur kemampuan takkanlah gaji RM3000 tak cukup, janganlah beli kereta mahal kan sekarang harga proton RM27000 aja.
Saya setuju dengan PM kita, ubah gaya hidup, bukan nak salah orang lain aja. Gaji RM6000 pun tak cukup kalau tak bijak berbelanja. So, terpulang kebijaksanaan individu. Kalau gaji setakat RM3000 nak pakai kereta besar, rumah besar dan berbelanja tak rancang jadilah bertimbun hutang.
Jangan marah ya. Tuhan dah bagi akal untuk berfikir, ada orang gaji RM1500 pun cukup sebab bijak berbelanja dan tak berlagak.
Orang Malaysia baru sekali menang dalam apa-apa pertandingan dah riuh sekampung macam ayam betelur sebiji. So, kita pun macam tuu juga. ORANG KATA, BERBELANJA IKUT KEMAMPUAN jangan nak ikutkan hati.
Memang Malaysia Boleh dah terbukti sejak dari Kesultanan Melayu Melaka. Jangan lupa sejarah nanti berulang. Apa-apapun semuanya bergantung pada akal dan cara nak gunakannya.
Hemm.. memang tak mustahil kalau tak cukup, perbelanjaan tu mungkin bagi org2 yang tinggal kat bandar memang tak cukup, tapi bagi mereka yang tinggal kat pekan kecil, memang cukup. :)

One Chinese person walks into a bar in America late one night and he saw Steven Spielberg. As he was a great fan of his movies, he rushes over to him, and asks for his autograph.
Instead, Spielberg gives him a slap and says "You Chinese people bombed our Pearl Harbor, get out of here."
The astonished Chinese man replied "It was not the Chinese who bombed your Pearl Harbor , it was the Japanese".
"Chinese, Japanese, Taiwanese, you're all the same," replied Spielberg.
In return, the Chinese gives Spielberg a slap and says "You sank the Titanic; my forefathers were on that ship."
Shocked, Spielberg replies "It was the iceberg that sank the ship, not me."
The Chinese replies, "Iceberg, Spielberg, Carlsberg, you're all the same."
(This particular joke won an award for the best joke in a competition in Britain )
