Our cost of living is cheap not to Msians but to foreigners. <br /><br />Take the income of our fresh graduates for example(They are currently being paid about RM2000-2500/mth). Then calculate how many times their monthly income needed for them to be able to buy an entry level Japanese car and a decent house/apartment within 20km of city centre. Also,what is the % of their income they have to spend for :<br /><br />1)a night stay in 4-5 star hotel in KL, Penang, Ipoh or JB <br />2)good buffet lunch at these hotels<br />3)a return Mas flight from KL to Adelaide<br />4) etc...etc<br /><br />Compare the above with graduates in UK, Spore etc.. and you will get the answer. It is not only because our currency is undervalued but we are also cheaply paid as well. Do not convert the currency for this simple reason - what we earn here, we spend here and vice-versa. A Toyota Vios here is abt RM80,000, a buffet lunch about RM70-80/person, a 5-star hotel room is abtRM400/night depending on season.<br /><br />Again it is the purchasing power that counts. Perhaps you can enlighten us on the cost of living in Australia comparative to the income level using the above as a guide. On a dollar per dollar basis, I am sure it is much cheaper.Kala Jengkingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8498120352601868144.post-8696022178718875472009-09-13T23:14:15.178+10:002009-09-13T23:14:15.178+10:00this is the illogical logic of UMNO leaders...this is the illogical logic of UMNO leaders...STEADYAKU47https://www.blogger.com/profile/07409192122374446741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8498120352601868144.post-40615234325372205302009-09-13T23:12:17.930+10:002009-09-13T23:12:17.930+10:00agreed!

But our govt doesnt see it like that, they think we are the cheapest place in the world to live in.<br /><br />But never compare on the income side how much the locals are losing out.sunwayopalhttp://www.myrealestate.com.mynoreply@blogger.com
