A pittance to some, a bounty for others


FOR some, RM200 may just mean dinner for two in some fancy restaurant or drinks with friends after work. For others, however, the amount actually goes a long way, especially those struggling to make ends meet.

Growing up has been hard for me and my five siblings. Our father worked as a driver and mum was a part-time store assistant. I am used to wearing and using hand-me-downs, and we have been taught to save where we can.
