income distribution inequality

You think we have progessed so much for the past 20 years. Yup, no doubt about that and I'm glad we still progressing despite financial crisis that hit us in 1997. But do u know our nation ranks among the most unequal societies in Southeast Asia in terms of income distribution. Well get this:
only 10% from the population earn rm 5000 and above (and this group of course held majority of nation's wealth) and majority 60% - 70% only earn RM2000 and below ....considering cost of living in Malaysia steadily rising over the years, this people will face a very tough life just for living!!of course single folks won't feel anything but we talk about people with family to support here..statistic shows only 7% from population live in poverty (based on monthly earning of RM 5++), but come on....this can't be right, even with RM 1000/month with family to support will face a hard life...based on standard poverty measure, the real figure should be average income of population / 2...so I think RM 1000 is the right one...easy to say now almost 30% - 40% of Malaysian population still live in poverty...quite a shocker!!
while most of Klang Valley folks dress in stylish Armani, FCUK and drinks in high class starbucks, dome but they are still many and many people facing a hard time just to LIVE...sometimes it is unfair that only 10% of us get probably 70% of nation's wealth while 90% of us have to share remaining 30% nation's wealth...something to think about..hmmm
