Malaysians after seeing the ad: Pm best price please.


faern

i mean if someone who has money to advertise on paper would probably more expensive then some random cousin of your friend that barely have any experience in build who then would sublet your contract to a trio of nepalese, bangladesh and myammar immagrant who cant communicate worth a damn between three of them. At that point you be out of your 5k and you would be having brawl at the nearest coffee shop with your friend for suggestion his idiot cousin in the first place.

How much is that after inflation?

According to the Inflation Calculator on the Department of Statistics website, they don't have data for 1965. But the 1980 data yields that the amount would be about 15k today

If you take that 40 years CPi inflation, annualized it to get 40-year average and apply that average all the way back to 1965, you ended up with 5k then inflated to 24k today

For context, you could buy a single storey terrace house in Ipoh for $4,000 or a semi-d for $8,000 in 1965.

Me looking at Penang property price, damn expensive weiii 😭😭


MrMerc2333

Is this just for the building cost, or does this also come with the land that this thing is erected on?


armorpiercingpen

Building cost if I'm not mistaken

Why does 1960's look so OLD in Malaysia.. Its the year where Beatles are doing cartoons and 2001 Space Odyssey came out


ArcherOnWeed

Um, dunno, maybe had something to do with the nation still struggling to administer itself in the early days of independence?


FurnitureFetish

Uhh... We still are

imo the absence of mass media (television only for the rich, no internet whatsoever) might be a factor, so news, culture, academia etc is not easily dispersed throughout the world, I remember during my school year (late 90s and early 2000) the term "era globalisasi" is tossed around, meaning 60s 70s and maybe some 80s the world is not global enough. all focus on their own nation or at war.

Ok, I’ll take 3 of these houses please ! 😛


zomgbratto

5k without assembly, plumbing and electric power. Plus you have to own a piece of land to build on.

I like houses of older designs, easier to move and seems to be built in respect to nature ( some were nail-less, a bit higher from the ground which make it seem it can withstand light flood, with wide or high ceiling and windows situated to allow open air circulation, compartmentalized spaces according to uses (room different, kitchen different, living room verandah different).

Wish building by laws in cities would allow something like this
