Living in a land called Malaya

Life in Malaysia is quite hard. Take my dad salary for instance, he get about RM9k right now, and still he have to take loan for car and house for 9 years, cars costing almost RM100k while house is more than double of that forcing even an engineer with only a small family of two children facing a hard time on some things.

He say he will make the same money if he in Europe, like in London if he works in British Airways, now imagine he earn 9k pound. The exact same car he bought in Malaysia that costs RM92k now costs merely under 10k pound. He could nearly bought it in one month salary! Some say costs of living there is high, whoever say that because he uses Malaysia Ringgit, but what if they earn in pound?

This is the worst developing countries in the world. Before you mention anything about other much worse countries, we must look on high to advance ourself. We have the BEST quality oil in the world, low sulphur content, but guess what Petronas doing to it? Sell it to others and buy their low quality oil and purify it and sell at same price as theirs. What gives? Imported car were taxed 300%, what gives? Yes we have our own car, but I don't take new Proton whatever-its-name-is costs nearly RM100k, how many of Malaysian could afford it? I rather cut my left leg and beta myself with it than buy one of those tin cans. All Proton cars I tested have poor handling and comfort. Even my lowly Viva is a lot better than Waja, or Gen2. CAMPro, yeah right, its macam pro is more like it.

This isn't the topic I like to discussed with anyone, so I think thats enough, or it will turn to 3297 pages, what I hate about Malaysia, and specifically, orang Melayu. Who on Earth naming their own people with something that bad? Melayu, why not memaju? Why layu? Its so annoying....
