SOS Malaysia Living Standards


In Malaysia ---------------1973 ------------2008

Japanese Car 1.3litre -----RM7,000 ----- RM60,000
House --------------------RM45,000-----RM300,000

Total ---------------------RM52,000---- RM360,000

Net Salary (engineer) pm-- RM1,000------ RM2,000

Yrs to pay back --------------4.3 yrs -------15 yrs

Hmmm..... did our standard of living improved over the last 35 years? What about education? What about medical? What about transport? Where did all the money gone?

Mc Donald in Malaysia RM3.00 per hour x 8 hrs x 25 days = RM600 per month
Gloria Jeans in Australia AUD14 x 8 hrs x 25 days x 2.7 conversion = RM7,840 per month


So, in Australia, they make about 13 times more than Malaysian, cars is about 25% cheaper, house price similar to Malaysia.
