Malaysia’s growth is left behind by many of SEA’s fastest growing economies (Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam).
As Malaysia is losing out, it’s citizens are only going to get poorer.
Today we see plenty of Malaysian graduates who are driving GRAB and doing delivery work because they can’t find a job,
Old people in their 70’s working in a food court cleaning up the table.
And we’re seeing more Malaysians professionals getting retrenched because of the unstable economy.
While the government has changed and they’re doing their best to help people.
Change requires time, but there’s not much time we can afford.
A study done by Khazanah Research Institute (KRI) has shown that the number of relatively poor Malaysian households increased by 42.6% over the last 20 years.
The average salary rate of Malaysians have also been quietly decreasing for the last 8 years.
