Actually not true. I have a classmate who went back to Penang and now owns rows and rows of shophouses and at least 3 plots of land on Pearl Hill.

He’s a GP.

Married female doctor + husband cannot achieve get household income of RM20k?

most family nowadays get above RM10k house hold income. Thus consider T20 already....

GP that cari kerja with employer won't earn a lot of money

like those who open Mediviron, Klinik Kita, etc...these are the rich ones.

U talking about T5

whoah, I didn't know I am so rich, that makes me a T20

but everyday I struggling to pay the sky high expenses

My friend is a T5, he has range rovers, mercedes, ferrari, several houses, properties, high class condos in msia, spore, australia, canada.

RM20k won't be able to pay for this.

Your friend is probably T2/T1 category, with the income of 40k or 70k or above.

if you look at the breakdown of the infographic or build a chart, the T5 would roughly command a income of 22,000.

Also the classification is per house hold, not as per individual... hence someone at manager level RM7k salary+spouse Rm5k would be T20.

Also for the sake of simplifying the we should just take dual income (husband+wife) into consideration and not including other family members, etc

The classification for T1% is a bit low for Malaysia, compared to Singapore.

damn, our malaysia so poor?

T5 = 22,000 ?

I am in T5 but struggling to pay bills every day

T5 by definition is the top 5% of the population.... when you factor in the majority of the masses are living below 10k from the chart

To be fair, when I move across from Singapore to Australia, my social economic status/stratum did not change.

It’s not worth contemplating migration if I had to slot into a lower bracket - not unless I was doing it for my (non-existent) children’s hypothetical future.

i know this is an old thread but what if i go through the longer way? I study for my masters (already have a conditional offer letter from the uni) and then try to get a job? Got better chance? Age is just a concern now..

For your age is harder now bro
