Middle class for me in Msia need to have min own house and car. After deduct everything (loans, daily necessities) still have leftover few k for savings.

Different location will need different salary to fulfil above criteria.

Before. Official data, not what we think it should be.

Reality is Malaysia is a poor country and /kopitiam is a gathering place of Malaysia’s T5.

Semalam baru heard kisah sedih from abang lalamove.
When he cum pickup he ask about the kedai neighbor.
Then he said he used to work there during MCO kena laid off and been jobless since. Ada anak 6 biji been looking for job only asking for rm2.2k same as his last pay but everyone say they prefer someone younger. He is in his 40s now.

At the mean time his ex boss go anywhere also got ahmad fetch him with Alphard sometime S class.

Take that S class plus rm2.2k divide by 2, got salary of middle income

Going by national average (mean).
In rural areas, it’s probably RM4.5k per person or 9k household.
In city areas, it’s probably RM8k per person or RM 16k household
