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)

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 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, 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....

5 bla blaa..:

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa this is why i dont want to build a family of my own.....duk bawah tiak mak je sampai tuo leyh??? hiks~

blom saving asb lagi...
blom saving tabung haji lagi
blom mekap, pad, pencabut bulu ketiak
blom baju, spende, bra
blom jalan2 coti coti...

waaaaaaaa so many blom!!!!

actually, kalau ikutkan memang susah.. tapi kita kena sacrifice sikitlah.. elakkan berbelanja tak ikut budget.. kalau makan tu sebulan budget 800, kena buat la 800 (including umah and kat tempat kerja).. macam insurans, kalau suami dah amik, wife tak amik pun takper (kalau takat kerja pejabat).. kena pentingkan mana yang penting dulu.. kita kena ikut cara hidup orang susah skang nih.. pokok pangkal, nak buat/ tak nak buat jer..

Semoga keadaan akan pulih seperti sediakala, Insya-Allah...

Baru ceq paham pasaipa la ct nurhaliza pilih dato'k hew hew hew

Ntah la kak..kalau duit byk pun xbahagia wat apa..tp zaman skrg sume pakai duit..

ct,biar idup sederhana..ukur baju di badan sendiri...

i'll do anything
