Can a family man with RM3,000 salary survive in Malaysia

Posted by Prim3 on June 21st, 2008

I received this from a forwarded mail.. Although it’s rather funny, it’s true at the same time:

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….

Guys and Gals

Posted by Prim3 on March 21st, 2008

男人不帅女人不爱,女人不爱无心装载。

I always think that perhaps, girls only like handsome guys.. and those less good looking one (like me of course :P ) will get left behind..

And if a girl doesn’t like you at all, she just doesn’t care about you.. no matter what you do, what you want, how you feel, where you go, when you call, she just will not notice you..

What do you think? :)

P/s: the aftermath of pressure and emotional hijack still leaves me in kinda low mood. Perhaps I should take the weekend off and wander off to somewhere.. :) really need a moral boost right now :)
