Because of RM1

The value of RM1. If you convert it to sterling, it is equivalent to 20 pence. Just an example.

In Malaysia, RM1 can bring you a long way. You get to get treated by medical doctors or medical assistants and receive expensive medicine for free. I repeat, for free. Just for RM1 registration fee.

To most Malaysians, RM1 is not much, but there are still a lot of those who think that paying RM1 for every consultation as a burden. Maybe because they only have RM10 to spend for the whole week to look after five hungry children with a husband that does not care. That, IS a sad story.

But, there are cocky Malaysians who make a big deal out of RM1 and refuse to pay just because they think they deserve free consultation. When insisted to pay, they would throw RM1 note over the table claiming that it is 'just RM1' and 'of course they could pay!'.

What's with the attitude?

This is Malaysia with RM1.
