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(Just nice) ....

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)

Miscellaneous: RM100
(shampoo, toilet paper, repairs..)

Oh wait!!! I have to stop here, so...
No Astro(Malaysia Satellite TV),
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! Shit! RM3,610 already...

EPF belum potong (have not deducted CPF), income tax lagi........ oledi(already) RM3,610 ....

How to survive lah tuan-tuan(gentlemen) dan puan-puan(ladies) 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(citizen) Malaysia which still don't earn RM3,000/month! !!

What is this? Malaysia Boleh(CAN)???... Sorry ...

No wonder so many Ah Loong around lah....

Just finished reading newspaper and found that this write up is true and funny. Kids can really do the darnedest things on earth! Read this:

While taking a routine vandalism report at an elementary school, Martin was interrupted by a little girl of about six years.

Looking up and down at his uniform, she asked, "Are you a cop?"

"Yes," Martin answered and continued writing the report.

"My mother said if I ever needed help I should ask the police. Is that right?"

"Yes, that's right!" Martin said.

"Well, then," she said, "would you please tie my shoe?"

Kids....

One of the great escape pulled off by motorbike rider who were riding at high speed against the traffic. The patrol car was trailing behind them closed. As the bike crashed against the oncoming car, both the riders were flung high up the air. One managed to run away, one stay down apparently injured.

Why can't these people think? They are just risking other people's life too. Check out the video yourself
