Most Mentri Besars earned a basic pay of around 5000 ringgits.
They have around 3500 ringgits entertainment and other misellaneous
allowances. So all in all may come to 10,000 ringgits! That is Sing
$4,200 per month. Most Singaporean Malay households or even
individuals earned this amount, most even exceeding this
amount!
Most Singaporean Malay households earn 4,200 per month? Err,
that's probably twice the amount households of other races earn on
average(middle class). Where in the world do you obtain this
number? By your numbers, the majority of Malay Households reside in
the upper middle class of Singapore's society.
