What nonsense you talking about la. Just bumping their salaries to 30k/month won't make the system any less corrupt. Those YB's songlap runs in the tens and hundreds of millions of ringgit (and probably even another magnitude higher in the case of Sarawak's beloved Taib Mahmud), you think 30k a month gonna make any difference?
Added on December 6, 2011, 7:57 amfood+groceries 1.3k
transport 200
other utilities & misc expenses 100
room ... 300 to 800
your mileage may vary.
Just to add on... we did a calculation last time..
if really were to save on money i think overall expenses of around SGD1.5k (include everything from room to makan)
is quite feasible..
Room : SGD 500-700
Makan : SGD 5 per meal (5 x 3 x 30)
Mobile phone : SGD 30
Transport : SGD 5 per day (5 x 30)
Misc : SGD 200
Adds up : 500+450+150+200 = SGD 1300
hence.. probably can get a 2.5k a month ..
then savings of 1k per month ..
12k per year, and within 5 years.. can get 60k...
That's RM 144k....
That's a very conservative figure...
I would see that as quite a handsome sum as maybe many in the twenties working in MY would not achieve this easily...
