Savings - Penjimatan - Berhemah


Sharing is Caring.

Peringatan untuk diri sendiri juga. Saya pun jenis banyak hutang kena bayar every month, kiranya gaji bulanan more than 50% yang dah komited  untuk bayar-bayar hutang: Kereta + Rumah + Credit card + Personal Loan.. Gaji Kerajaan ni xlah banyak tapi cukup2 makan, nak enjoy lebih2 tak boleh lah. Ni pun belum ada anak. Kos hidup makin tinggi, semua naik, premium insurans kereta pun nak naik. Semua naik kecuali GAJI! Pernah baca satu article berkaitan gaji minium di negara-negara luar. Nanti saya kongsikan gaji minimum beberapa negara melalui pelbagai pembacaan dan Mr. Wiki.

Isunya sekarang, Kerajaan pohon rakyat marhaen berjimat dan berhemah, belanja ikut kemampuan bla bla bla. Tapi tidakkah kerajaan sedar yang Kerajaan sendiri banyak membazir? KLIA 2? Penang 2nd bridge? LPT? Majlis2 rasmi kerajaan (pelancaran sana sini di Hotel Bertaraf 'Star')? etc? etc?

Bagaimana dengan isu kebajikan rakyat? BR1M dan seangkatannya (...1M) sudah cukup kah untuk bantu rakyat? Menaikkan pelbagai harga barang dengan rakus (maybe) menguntungkan sesetangah pihak. GST? Apa pula kebaikan nya nanti?

Bagaimana pula dengan kualiti pengangkutan awam? Singapore dah lama ada MRT, Japan dengan bullet train tapi malaysia baru nak buat MRT, tu pun Klang Valley je. Kenapa tak extend sampai Seremban ke Ipoh ke?

Bagaimana dengan kualiti pendidikan? Adakah dasar baru KPM akan benar2 berjaya? Kenapa tahap pemikiran dan inovasi budak-budak sekolah kat Malaysia jauh ketinggalan? Bandingkan sahaja dengan negara paling dekat ie Spore.

Bagaimana dengan penjagaan kesihatan? Servis hospital kerajaan masih jauh berbeza dengan private. Tapi saya masih menghargai dan menggunakan servis kerajaan, mungkin terpaksa? mungkin sebab private healthcare terlalu mahal berganda2. Macam mana pula kalau MAS menyertai TPP? Bayangkan harga ubat-ubatan yang akan melambung harganya. Cukuplah.

So kalau kami rakyat Malaysia tak puas hati kena keluar dari Malaysia ke? Nak suruh kami menabung (aka bank savings etc)? Pemimpin menabung kat mana pula?

Ok, i tak boleh lebih2, I kan pegawai kerajaan katanya, hak bersuara I tidak valid kot. Di mana demokrasi?

Takpelah, mari kita lihat minimum wage (gaji minimum) beberapa negara kat dunia ni sebulan. Mula2 kita bandingkan dalam Asean dulu:

  2. S'pore - Tiada gaji minimum. Gaji cleaner: RM2,609
  3. Philippine - RM440-RM1022 mengikut sektor
  4. Thailand - RM908
  5. MAS - RM900 (S'mnjung); RM800 (Borneo)
  6. Indonesia- RM230-600 mengikut daerah
  7. Vietnam - RM164-RM423
  8. Cambodia- RM264 + elaun kesihatan RM15
  9. Laos- RM206-257 dengan elaun makan
