Can a family man with Salary RM3,000 survive in Malaysia ?

Let's do some simple calculations here.

In Malaysia , the average family income is RM3,000 /month(where father works, mother doesn't). I understand there are many families whosemonthly income does not reach RM3,000,but, to make things simple,let's take RM3,000 as the figure. Ok lah, right? Okay, let's start rolling with a family which hasPapa, Mama, 1 daughter and 1 son. Ngam-ngam ....

Calculation starts...

Electricity and water bill: RM100(No air-con, No home theatre, No water heater ... ok?)
Phone bill ( Telekom): RM100
Meals for a happy family: RM775(3 meals on RM25/day, RM25 for 4 persons...?)
Papa makan / teh-tarik during working hrs: RM155(RM5/day, RM5 .... can eat what?)
Car repayment: RM400(A proton saga aeroback, 7 yrs repayment)
Petrol (living in city, traffic-jam): RM300(go to work, bring son to school,only can afford one car running)
Insurance: RM650(kids, wife and myself)
House repayment: RM750(low cost housing repayment for 30 yrs,retired still have to work to pay!)
Tuition: RM80(got that cheap meh? i don't think so)
Older children pocket money @ school: RM20(RM1/day, eat bread?)
School fees: RM30(enough ah?)
School books and etc: RM100(always got extra to pay in school)
Younger children milk powder: RM50(cannot have the DHA, BHA, PHA one, expensive)
Miscellaneous: RM100(shampoo, rice, sauce, toilet paper)

Oh wait!!! I have to stop here, so...No Astro,no movie @ cinema,no DVD,no CD,no online,cannot KFC,cannot McDonald,cannot go Park walk during weekend (petrol expensive),no chit chat on phone with grandparents, and etc...

Let's use a calculator to total up... WALAO EH! Shit! RM3,610 already... EPF belum potong, income tax lagi........oledi RM3,610 .... How to survive lah tuan-tuan dan puan-puan sekalian ???

Our Deputy Prime Minister asked us to change lifestyle? How to change? Don't eat? Don't work? Don't send children to school and study? Besides that, I believe in Malaysia population, there are millions of rakyat Malaysia which still don't earn RM3,000/month!!! What is this? Inilah Malaysia Boleh... Sorry ... it should beMalaysians Boleh , because we're still alive and kicking!!

Our politicians must be mad!!!!
