1) That's very true. But remember, thanks to BN we are mostly low-income although larger. Some cities outside KL majority of people earning under RM3k a month only. In KK some people earn just RM900 a month!
2) Again, this is true (I used to work for one of Malaysia's largest private telco so I know). But SGP also all backbone owned by Singtel. When spread out of cost per user, the cost is relatively low.
3. This is true. Corruption is a cancer. IIRC it was YTL, Greenpacket and Asiaspace given WiMax license. Of the 3, P1 and Asiaspace half dead already and YES still alive but burning cash every yr. TIME also got 3G license (which is si beh stupid of Govt) and they sold it to digi for fat fat profit. Some cronies got rich loh.
4. This one Apple + Samsung fault. ;-)
USD1k is around RM3.5k when converted........iPhone is actually highly overpriced, and although I earned money from AAPL shares, I would never buy a iProduct ever. Their margin is something like 30-40%.
bro.. it's RM3.5k onwards... choosing the similar plan for iphone5 plan from digi for example.. Phone itself will cost you a whopping 10xx + rm138 x 24.. That's a whopping RM4.4k or more. as compared to our puny salary.. haih.. that's pathetic. Of course there are always pro and con. On the other hand.. property prices here aint as expensive but it's catching up SOON or shall i say about there.. now the condo's are all about RM400k.. if they are gonna price them any nearer to rm500k.. I'm pretty sure we are in a deep shit situation and like what all the down campers would say bubble will start building up and awaits to burst. Our ppl in malaysia are just not ready for property prices above RM450k.. That's my personal opinion though.2) Again, this is true (I used to work for one of Malaysia's largest private telco so I know). But SGP also all backbone owned by Singtel.
