keep it up

It seems like every week, we will read about protests being held in Kl. Well, not on local news or newspaper. If you open youtube, Aliran, or other non government news agencies, you will read about rally being held nearly every week. The latest from Malaysia Kini ( a news agency which tells the news in a different point of view) showing a group of protesters protesting for non ISA movement to be taken on the HINDRAF leaders.

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....

ANTI STAR

In my house, I have been subscribing to The Star Newspaper since god knows when. But sadly, The Star is becoming more of a political newspaper then a newspaper that tells news. When I was younger, i use to read nearly all the articles in the paper. but lately, nearly half of the newspaper i skip through. We pay about RM1.20 for a copy, which is kind of expencive. then they only have about 30 articles. Among the 30, nearly half of them are news regarding policitc. like hell.......who the hell whats to read news about " Youth will lead our future". What the hack is that......? On the January 1st issue, there are a total of 27 national news. and out of the 27, 12 of them were news about politics.

who in their right mind want to read about the coming election, some stupid ground braking event, or some politician giving out free things to the flood victim. other then that, The Star is also a 1 sided newspaper. it tells the story in a point of view where it only sides 1 political group. That particular group also holds a large amount of share in the agency. so doesnt that make the newspaper buyers and hiding the truth from the public. isint that a crime.????

so boys and girls, tell your parents, there are other newspapers around. Example, The New Straits Times. I feel its one of the best papers around.

well, this is Ivan, signing out
