QUOTE(Drian @ May 16 2025, 11:11 AM) RM 25-27k is 6-7k USD household income in US. 7k USD household income in US is B30, my guesstimate. So top 1% income in Malaysia is equivalent to Bottom 30% in US. That's why the government use percentile, cause this can give an impression that there is a lot of rich people in Malaysia. If they use absolute numbers, it will expose how relatively poor we are. So there are people here in /k who are not that good in mathematics/critical thinking who thinks T20 earns a lot and have to be taxed way more. I caught a few people in /k doing that. Seems like earning MYR 20k is equivalent to earning USD 14k based on PPP, but obviously this is just average and does not including specific location

I caught a few people in /k doing that. even ignoring PPP (which is important to compare incomes between countries), a quick google search shows US Median household income at USD6.6k per month. Very ironic that you are questioning people's mathematics/critical thinking.

This is actually mainly working class, definitely not maha-kaya as per the PMX description. True there are those billiun-aire and bring up the average. Income divide happens everywhere
