man, i must really try to manage my time well..thats why ive rarely been blogging these few weeks (guess blogging aint a full time job for me)....so what has happen these few weeks..
emm...the ijok by-election..same old crap...same old story...both sides wanting a piece of each other...same old stupidity.....ive never believed in the democracy voiced out by the west and followed in this part of the world (sorry to say)..yeap,thats my view..
enough of elections...em...some rumours spreading that CUEPACS is disagreeing with the government's salary adjustment/revisions. some even claim that majority of the civil servants are living below the "actual poverty line" and have resorted to performing part-time jobs such as being taxi drivers..well, i must say there might be truth in it..
lets see..say an average joe (with a wife and 2 kids), who's pay is roughly RM1,500..So where and what will the person spend it on, say in KL.
Food
= RM25/day = RM750/month
Transport (assuming only public transport)
= RM5/day = RM150/month
Rental
= RM400/month
Kids
= 2 kids x RM5 x 20 days= RM200/month
Other
= RM100/month
TOTAL = RM(750+150+400+200+100) = RM1,600.00
So basically, that person is not earning enough to cover the family's expenses (short by RM100)..i might be right or wrong here but heck this is just a rough estimate...but, Maybe these guys who decline to accept the government's planned revision may have something on here...
