Seriously, I think tissue paper worth more than RM.

100 yen is RM4 nowadays!
Used to be less than RM3 when I was still working in KL and dreaming about travelling to Japan!

SGD needless to say… before I was born it as RM1 to SGD1…
when I first visited Singapore, I remember the exchange rate was RM1.70 to SGD1… now? We need to pay RM2.50 for SGD1! No wonder Malaysians rushed to work in Singapore (and no turning back)!

It’s even more so pathetic when I convert my tissue RM pay into SGD or Japanese Yen… because I am paid less than a blue collar in those countries!

I just don’t get the economics working in Malaysia… people here work to live? No, they work to pay debts! Car loan, home loan, credit cards… and by the time they finished paying all the debts, there is not much time left if any left!

I shiver to think of my retiring age….
