all I know if you are b40 and earn under rm1500 back then, you can try your luck applying gomen subsidy house under PKNS. RM 25,000, either landed or flat.

that was before 1996. so yes, one brand new kancil can get a house already.

this is in section 24, shah alam. basic 2 rooms house

Car price is actually the only thing that's gone down over the years. 40k today is actually maybe only worth 20k 20 years ago, so essentially you are paying less but you are also getting a car that has 7 airbags and autonomous safety features compared to just a steering wheel and 4 seats back then.
*
this is true

that kancil 660 is basically a very basic car, we tend to see it cheap now. no airbag, no abs, no shit at all

hakikatnya dulu pun tetap susah tapi bezanya dulu tak ada iPhone, tak ada Shopee, tak ada GrabFood

Means last time spend less. Not sure how that helped in your argument
*
last time i just spend for cinema, video games arcade, newspaper, magazines

then handphone bills. which is way way more expensive than mine now ( less than rm50 now , unlimited calls, plenty of GBs )

I feel old. Parents era here apparently refers to 1990s.
Should refer to 1980.

Most important milestone is before Proton and after Proton.

no worries, all of us here are old folks already, from analog era bro

The Proton Saga, Malaysia's first national car, was launched in 1985 with a launch price of RM 17,757 for the 1.3L variant and RM 19,005 for the 1.5L variant

if adjusted to today price, holy cow

back then ringgit actually have higher purchasing power, when 1 SGD= 1 MYR

just the fact that our currency loose value real fast
*
eh that time US$ 1 = RM2.5

quite low already

1 SGD= 1 MYR = 1979 then slowly creeping up

computer cheaper in the past? you sure? which past you living in? even if we ignore the spec difference, back then computer still consider a luxury (as it is expensive).. same goes to mobile phone.

Many cina buy cash. My dad bought 160J SSS. Learnt how to drive in that, heavy clutch but good pick up.

Mamakthir spolied everything when he started plotong and  added high duties to all other brands. All the gomen until today still kept his legacy although P1 belongs half to PRC and junk most of the time being rebadged.
