  •  data covered was extracted from the Malaysian Department of Statistics, various global expats websites, and sources that provide details about the cost of life in Malaysia. In most cases, total consumption per year was shown in the sources, so in order to calculate it per capita per day, the total number was divided by the population and the 365 (days per year). In cases where consumption was shown per household, the total number was divided by the average number of people per household, and then again to 365 to get the daily number. In the same manner, consumption per month or week was divided by 30 and 7, respectively.

    Many elements are shown by a unit such as Coffee (cups), Beer and Wine (litres), Cigarettes (cigarettes), Cinema (tickets) while others strictly in monetary funds. This was done to avoid complex issues in some elements; Expenses would be clearer to the user this way. Please be advised that numbers may vary between sources.
