"I don't know whether laptops, internet and calling rates are cheaper are cheaper in Malaysian than in China or Hk. What I'm sure of is that they are much cheaper than 10 years ago ;-)" - Jacques Duquesne
"To put your calculation in perspective
With an annualised inflation of 8.5% over the past 15 years, your RM1 Wan Tan Mee would now cost RM3.13
Unfortunately, the power of compounding also work for inflation...
I agree with you that inflation in Malaysia is badly calculated. And it most certainly is a two figure one. But calculating inflation is a very hard and imperfect process. For a higher priced bowl of Wan Tan Mee, we enjoy much cheaper laptops, internet, calling rates etc.
The problem here is that BNM is not free enough. Too much political interference." - Jacques Duquesne
