MALAYSIA“Half of the Working M’sian Chinese Earn a Monthly Salary of Less Than RM2,350”
There are often quite a few different stereotypes in Malaysia about certain races that can be rather untrue and unfair. Spread love, not hate! Recently, an economist, Dr Muhammed Abdul Khalid refuted one of these perceptions and said that contrary to popular belief, the Chinese in Malaysia aren’t all that wealthy. #Truestory

According to the Malaysian Insight, he said that there has always been a myth that the Malaysian Chinese are rich but data collected from government agencies shows that most of them are actually wage earners in the community. Many people make that assumption based on what they see, which is not accurate. Don’t judge a book by its cover!
Khalid, who is DM Analytics founder and chief economist, said, “When we talk about inequality or poverty, the gap between the races has actually decreased, compared with 40 years ago. Many people think the Chinese are rich. But that is not quite right. Yes, some of them are rich, but the majority of Chinese Malaysians is working class. The percentage does not differ much from the Bumiputeras, who are also working class.”
