they cannot own house, own expensive car,

but malaysians also go holiday like hell even if exchange rate is high,

so in theory we spend at least 10x more than they do but still managed to afford it and do it.

They do it because their money is bigger.

So means we are sooo much richer no?

but still we can afford private healthcare, even though as claimed by many 'no money lah'

ONLY one thing you folks/citizens NEVER change yet.....

and that is the gov.

so...you want another same statistics for another decade?....your choice....

bcoz traveling is my dream & hell i'm gonna do it even if it kills me, or i hav to bag pack.

i dun mind save like hell for half a year, then blow it all on a single vacation to europe.

1Malaysia government: Rakyat masih lagi cukup makan......

if the theory of 'cannot cari makan' is right, you are not supposed to be able to save at all.

yes they do, their housing is only what 200-300k AUD and below 400k quid for nice 2-3 bedrooms in city centre? for the same here is about 800-1mil in kl and its smaller too

the malaysians i know dont go on holiday so much, even if they do its all cheap places like local or thai/bali etc. maybe your friends are too rich.

actually, if you are a real hard core traveller, travelling is insanely cheap.

I consider myself as quite a hardcore traveller (LOL).


So i only sleep in train/aeroplane. I bring all my food from home. mini rice cooker, rice, all bawak. Then i always plan such that at night, im always on a train going somewhere. this massively reduces travelling cost. if i have to stay somewhere, ill book cybercafe's or motels.

Because outside malaysia, food is simply too crappy. You dont go for food. you want to look at stuffs. hence you bring ur own food.

this means, you can go to europe with less then RM3K. mostly to pay flight tix.

company allocated la bang

well, to be honest, i dun hav such cannot cari makan problem....
from grad also no such problem.

but kinda pity those frens who does.

Conclusion:

Malaysian want easy job with high salary and spend like boss then only complain with gov say gov hisap wang

I think the problem is more complex than mere government and public policy.

It comes down to many things,

1) Oversupply of graduates with little in terms of trade skills. Overemphasis on the IT wave
2) Our economic position as a source of cheaper skilled labour
3) A lack of investment in practical skills and too much emphasis on academia
4) Lack of collective bargaining arrangements and unions for workers. We just aren't interested

so if we can afford 800-1mil then still go holiday in europe and other places where it's bigger in currency, doesn't that make you very rich?

can cari makan 1 ..if he doesnt carry extra debts ...but kesian to them having 3k salary but want to have 20k punya lifestyle

ya...actually the accommodation is not a problem.
heck, i've spend som nites just wondering around bcoz cant get a place to stay.

money is mostly spent on transport (especially plane tickets), & those entrance fees if wanna go in some attractions.

this!

malaysians have a lot more disposable income than really admitted, a lot of company benefits somehow 'disappear' when asked about real income

i got som frens.
com here to work from another state.
rent outside, hav to send money to parents bck home.
for those people, budget is really tight.

& his spending style edi quite kedekut....

who can afford that ask ktards, most still staying in parents house.
