Technical middle class - income + house value (current market price).
Elite - Savings
N/A - house value (based on my buy price )

To me it is not that tough to understand your capability to own what kind of property. If your property is 5x the annual pay, this means you have already reached the bottle neck situation. In UK, the household expenses is cheap, the most expensive thing is the tax.

Those skimping on meals most likely on 10x like what tikaram tai gor mentioned.

Just curious, why really wanna know which class we are in?

No la. I am oni middle class... I think

most of us have to force buy overprice house, no choice unless you bought the house since soft launch...

I don't have much saving and i think i am lower working class aka poor people.

Why I said this is a very interesting survey?

You know that Elite class are those
1) Study in private edcuation
2) Elite University
3) banker, Dentist, Lawyer

I am very sure 99% Malaysian that study in cambridge/ oxford/ Imperial college/ LSE = is all elite calss in malaysia

If you are in middle class, responsible parents &  wanted to help your kids to move up to elite or higher middle class ( & u can afford it). You better start planning it now 1 to 3 above.

I think ppl earning 200k per annum is considered elite class. Anyone begs to differ?

no so if they have parents support.

I worked in South Korea for 3 years. Yup, the money was good while it lasted. Repatriated back to Malaysia when my project finished. Came back and bought me a 800K semi-D with a 320K down.

Here in Malaysia I'm earning onli 14K before tax. Currently applying for Australian PR. Can get the 60 points needed to be considered for PR application thanks to me have work overseas 3 years. Malaysialand salary is depressed.
