Haircut around 30 and up, 10 is quite difficult nowadays, plus shampoo and other detergent and stuff still not sufficient amount.
You also agree utilities is too little.

We agree that this is barely survivable amount, but definitely need to be higher.

Granted that average wage in Taiwan is also around 3k MYR, their bills and living cost is much higher than us...

We are not talking about /k, we are talking about minimum wages earners. The cost of 1 plate of cheapest rice (own cooked) should be <RM1. Mix soy sauce = 1 meal. 1 day 3 meal total less than RM5.

No wonder everyone goes to work in Singapore or even Vietnam.
No point suffering when future is not in sight.

Not sure why they assume they are going to earn minimum wages forever? Even after 30 years? Maybe some people really deserve only minimum wages?

With that amount of savings, very likely difficult to change life situation already.
And all of these actually assumes that there is no debt, how about student debt?
Better look for easy solution as soon as possible rather than long term stress.

MINIMUM WAGES earners - If they earn RM 1.1 k or less they should have no student debt, most likely SPM dropout. If they think they deserved better pay, look for better offer, change job. Not simply ask govt to increase their wages.

Many don't, so like I said earlier, many move to Singapore or even Vietnam already.

whom ever that voted for ph.

fucuk you.

breakfast I eat bread,

bread RM3.20, I eat half only.

Dinner
Everyday : RM4.00 - RM 5.00, nasi campur kedai Cina (it's cheap bcoz night discount price coz going close shop) 6PM discount 10% / 7PM 20% / 8PM 30%, although stated like this but it usually discount more than that. I usually tapao during 7pm time.

My motorcycle petrol cost
RM6.00 can last 3 working days, daily travel 20km.

I have no demand on food quality/taste, I can always eat the same thing. as long as did not taste bad.

Ikr.. Go sushi king also only get 1 plate..

bro... bn==ph

Move to Kajang and use MRT to work.

In 1980, before 4th PM, RM 1 = USD 2.1

My expenses are quite similar to you, but I have a car and a girlfriend. And when you have a girlfriend you cant afford to spend like that, else you are better off without one.

Food: My budget is about RM10 per day (personal spending only, if eat out with GF confirm tak cukup). Breakfast I will usually limit my budget to RM2 or even just drink milo at office pantry. Ping Pong biscuit only RM3.75 for 1 pack, easily can last you one week. Lunch eat out zapfan RM7-8 for my portion. Staying at home so sometimes eat at home sometimes eat outside. RM10 is a bit hard if you are staying outside, RM15 is a better gauge.

Housing: No need to pay rental since staying with family, so instead give parents RM500.

Motorcycle: RM5 for 3 days, about RM40 per month. If i take LRT to work that is around RM100 for unlimited pass and petrol fee to the LRT station.

Car Loan: A bit high but no choice, no girl wants to sit motorcycle with you. RM600 per month. Petrol maybe RM50-100 per month since only use for outing.

Mobile Plan: Rm30 plan can get you a lot nowadays.

Force saving: RM500

Total around RM2000.

I think if you are single and you know how to ride bike in Klang Valley, you really can save a lot.

i blame bn bcoz high living cost.

Haircut if male got la rm10-15
If female minimum rm25 (this also at small town outside KV). If inside KV female haircut need rm40 above (no washing)

If you stay in KL and only earning minimum wages, you should seriously consider moving out of it.

I blame PH for low salary.

I'm not from KL/Sgor/Penang/JB.
My hairstylist cut hair, female=RM12 to RM15. Male=RM10
Hair saloon inside Tesco = RM15 for both male & female

The Indian barber opposite MMU Melaka(where prices are supposed to be higher cos of MMU students) also charge RM10 only, of course barber is male only.
If other barber, RM8 also got
