1) Avearge means those with average traffic flow. Normal food at normal stall. Earning 8k nett, is really a good profit (earn even more than average office employee). RM 5-6k is consider as a good income for those hawkers settle at good traffic flow of customer. The one you saw by driving Japanese cars are just some examples? People tend to listen more on success stories rather than not sucess stories. People are rather excited by listening to someone telling them that A hawker earns 10k and drive Benz. But have they heard of people telling them that, B hawker earn peanuts per month, drive lousy van, stay at a wooden kampung house? That why we always see those hawkers are rich because we always refer to those hawkers that are RICH!

2) Yes, I believe those hawkers at SS15 (Asian food court, was this the name? Nearby the Taylors college) will be able to make around that figure.

3) Normal kopitiam with normal traffic flow, will not earn RM 6-7k nett per month, I only believe in gross profit. However, if the kopitiam has good traffic flow, morning till night time has 80% full house, then I shall believe RM 6-7k is possible.

It is easy to estimate the the profit of hawkers, as they make buy products to make into another products to sell. There is always the expenses and profit there for us to monitor.
