Can a family man with Salary RM3,000 survive in Malaysia??

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....

Even husband and wife working also tak cukup la....jangan harap bini kat rumah boleh goyang kaki... hahaha... :)

NTV7 Visit

Today we went to NTV7 for a visit. We were invited there to be their live audience for a game show. The game show is called "Double, triple or nothing". This game show is very interesting and nice even though it is in Chinese. But still, I understand abit of what questions that they asked. We gather at Yelex at 8am and we had a short briefing of what we should do when we are there. We had to be their live audience for two section of the game show. So the first section is at 10am to 12pm. The second section is at 2.15pm to 4pm.

After the show, we had Q&A section. So we would ask them some questions and also took some photos after the game show. We depart from NTV7 studio at around 5pm and we reach back to our school around 6.30pm. That is all for me. Thanks! :)




Birthday Party

Yesterday was my friend, Charmaine's birthday. So we all had planned out how we could celebrate during her birthday. We thought of ordering pizzas from Dominoes and celebrate it at her house. When we were at her house, we prepare everything and gave her surprise.
Yesterday we had sports. During the sports, we all need to play badminton because the instructor want to choose some people to join the badminton training. So all of us take turn to play badminton. At first, I thought I would not manage to go in the training, but at the end, I kena the training. So the training would start this coming Thursday. After the sports, it was around 3pm something. So we went out to the carpark and took some pictures. Here are some of the pictures which is taken in the carpark. We took the pictures while we are waiting for the bus to come and fetch us back to school. Here are the pictures.








During the night, we went to Charmain's house (hostel) to celebrate her birthday. We ordered dominoes (pizza) and celebrate it at her house. We even gave her surprise by waking her up from her sleep. We use the party deco (pop pop) to wake her up and she still thinks it is outside noise. We also turn of the main power so that she could wake up, and Snow said loudly, "Charmaine, no electric". One thing is that, she thought she was dreaming, so she would not wake up. After she woke up, we start the party and we enjoyed also. After we celebrate Charmaine's birthday, we went to Leisure mall to walk around and see things. After that, we went to the game section. We change for tokens and we play around the games section. At first, Snow and myself went to play the driving car. After that, there were a small room (K Box), so we went in to sing. haha.. very enjoying.
