RM3k wages salary how to survive for whole family ?

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 whosemonthly income does not reach RM3,000, but, to make things simple,let's take RM3,000 as the figure. Ok la, right?

Okay, let's start rolling with a family which has Papa, Mama, 1 daughter and 1 son. Ngam-ngam ....

Calculation begins...

Electricity and water bill: RM100
(No air-con, No home theatre, No water heater ... ok?)

Phone bill : RM100
( House phone Telekom )

Handphone Credit: RM50

Meals for a happy family: RM775
(3 meals on RM25/day, RM25 for 4 persons...?)

Father eat / 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 ownself)

House repayment: RM750
(low cost housing repayment for 30 yrs,retired still have to work to pay!)

Tuition Fee: 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),
Never chit chat on phone with grandparents, and etc...

Calculated to total up... WALAO EH! WTF! RM3,660 already

EPF ( Employees Provident Fund ) not yet terminate, income tax somemore leh.....already RM3,660

How to survive lah ladies and gentlemen ???

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 lol

Please forward and comment boleh or tak boleh. No wonder so many Ah Loong around lah...
