Satu masa dulu,adik aku pernah menetap di UK selama lebih setahun. Tapi adik
ipar aku duduk situ dah lama,dekat 6 tahun.Duduk situ,kerja bukannya kerja
besar,kerja pun chef kecil-kecilan dekat restoran.Adik aku pulak kerja jadi
baby sitter.Gaji,takde la besar, tak sampai pun seribu pound tak silap
aku...tapi...
1. Baju kat sana 3 pound. Kat Malaysia baju2 tu hanya dijual di
Pavilion,KL.Baju orang kebanyakan di UK ,baju orang kaya di Malaysia .
2. Kasut Lacoste kat sana 20 pound.
3. Sewa bilik ada dapur 200 pound.
4. Transportation,takde,naik bas,naik tube,satu hari punya tiket 5 pound
unlimited ride.Tak payah tunggu lama, paling lama tunggu bas,5 minit 2 bijik
datang.Naik tube tak pernah rasa tak selesa.Ada Oyster kad,senang nak ke
mana-mana.
5. Pegi Asda ke Tesco ke, beli barang dapur,satu troli 20 pound.Lepas untuk
seminggu.
6. Tak pernah rasa nak beli kereta sebab membazir, orang kaya berlagak aje
pakai kereta ke mana-mana.
7. Jalanraya sesuai untuk bawak basikal.Adik ipar aku, main transportation
dia,basikal,undang-undang...wajib pakai helmet.
8. Tambang tube nak ke airport...3 pound.
9. DVD ori sekeping 3 pound.Aku beli Ice Age 1 dan 2 boxset 6 pound.
10. Apa-apa barang pun mcm pakaian, tak puas hati dengan produk, boleh
pulangkan dalam tempoh 30 hari, takde banyak soal asal simpan resit dan tag
tak dicabut.
11. Dan aku malas nak cerita pasal Black Friday dan sale musim panas...
12. Bayangkan anda mampu beli kereta Mercedes second hand cash... dengan
hanya mengeluarkan 500 pound. Sini? Hutang 5 tahun untuk bayar kereta second
hand.. kereta di UK tidak ada value sangat kerana... pengangkutan awam
membuatkan kereta tidak relevan dan penting dalam hidup.Perkhidmatan teksi
adalah sesuatu perkhidmatan premium sebab teksi tidak diperlukan sangat.
Bila dia balik Malaysia,
......kerja mesti kena ambik overtime, kalau tak duit tak cukup. Barang
makanan sekali pegi beli Rm200.Nak pegi beli barang pun susah sebab public
transport susah. Apa yang Ismail Sabri Yaakob pelik macam mana RPK boleh
hidup mewah kat UK kalau orang Malaysia yang kerja dia waiter kedai makan
dekat Malaysia Hall pun boleh hidup senang kat sana? Adik ipar aku balik
sini, sambil hisap rokok dengan aku dia tanya aku, "Apasal hidup kat
Malaysia ni susah sangat?"
Lagi la pelik bila menteri tanya apasal ramai orang lebih gemar migrate ke
negara lain... Tukang sapu pun boleh hidup senang kat UK . Marah pulak
diorang bila rakyat mempersoalkan "Kenapa menteri mampu hidup mewah kat
Malaysia ,layak ke diorang?"
IF YOU AGREE, Pass On
My translation:
Great...example that you can’t accept....
Every time want to eat...on the bill is written 6% government service tax.....
When did they give us that service... ? And much more that we can consider... with Malaysia’s government now.....

Some time ago, my sister used to stay in UK for a year. But my cousin lives there longer, up to 6 years. Live there, not doing anything big, work as a small cook at a restaurant. My sister worked as a baby sitter.
Salary, not much, not even ₤1000 if not mistaken...but...
1. Clothes there cost ₤3. In Malaysia those shirts are only sold in Pavilion, KL. Clothes for common people in UK, is clothes for rich people in Malaysia.
2. Lacoste shoes over there cost ₤20.
3. Rent room with kitchen is ₤200.
4. Personal transportation, none, take bus, take Tube, daily-ticket ₤5 unlimited ride. No need to wait long, longest, 5 minutes, 2 buses comes. Take Tube haven’t felt uncomfortable before. With Oyster card, easy go everywhere.
5. Go Asda or Tesco; buy groceries, one full trolley ₤20. Good for 1 week.
6. Never have the feeling to buy car because wasteful, only rich people show off use car here and there.
7. Road is suitable for bicycling. My cousin, his main transportation – bicycle, the only law... is compulsory to wear helmet.
8. Take Tube to airport...₤3.
9. One piece original DVD cost ₤3. I buy Ice Age 1 and 2 box-set ₤6.
10. Anything at all example clothes, not satisfied with the product, can return within 30 days, no questions asked regarding keeping original receipt or not removing tags.
11. And I’m lazy to talk about Black Friday and summer sales...
12. Imagine you can afford to buy 2nd hand Mercedes – cash... with only ₤500 upfront. Here? Owe 5 year debt for 2nd hand car.. Cars in UK have not much value because...public transport makes cars not relevant or important in life. Taxi service is premium service because it is not much needed.
When she came back to Malaysia,
.....have to work overtime, if not, not enough money. Groceries each time spent RM200. Want to go buy things also difficult because public transportation sucks. Why should Ismail Sabri Yaakob be curious RPK can live in splendor if Malaysians working as waiter at Malaysia Hall can live well over there? When my cousin came back home, as he was smoking with me, asked “why living in Malaysia so difficult?”
Stranger still when the minister asked why people like to migrate... Janitor also can live well in UK. However when citizens asked “why ministers can live in splendor in Malaysia, are they qualified?” they get angry.
IF YOU AGREE, Pass It On.
