I read with interest a news report on NST today where newly appointed Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin says that the Economic Planning Unit has plans to help low income earners, namely those who earn less than RM3000 per month.
There is no further information at this point but I wonder if he means RM3000 gross monthly household income or individual income. Living in Ipoh, I know that there are many families who don't even earn more than that even with both husband and wife working. Yes, pay is pretty low here, although cost of living is not as low as perceived by many.
Anyway, since this will be a plan from the EPU, I wonder if skin color will come into play. I wonder when this plan will be implemented and who exactly will be these goodies will benefit. Till will tell.
