Household income Malaysia. How much do T20, M40 and B40 actually earn per month?

Hardcore poor comprises 6% of the total households

The income earned by these households are above the minimum pay for Malaysia which is RM1,200 and this tells us that the current minimum pay is really very minimum. No one should continue to earn these minimum pay as it will cause financial hardships to these households. In fact, if the companies continue to earn profits, I do not see any reason for them to pay such a low salary to the employees they have no matter what they do in the company.

No property means continuous poverty

We must help the hardcore poor have a roof over their head. Else, they would be spending a huge portion of their salary on just accommodation and this will cause them to remain poor forever. This is why property ownership or even access to cheap housing must be the main strategy to help these poor households. Remember yeah, even if it’s just RM300 rental per month, paying this for 30 years will be a substantial amount and the money should belong to the households and not “given” to someone else.

Let’s hope the household income numbers would be higher in 2022 since 2021 is still very much affected by Covid-19 lockdowns.
