RM7 (7 MYR) to RM9 (9 MYR) is about $1.50 to $1.93 USD.
According to the Googles, the average income in Malaysia is between 6,590 MYR and 17,600 MYR.
This is not a context bot, but I feel like it sometimes.

Our income is really not justifying the cost of living here. We have a RM5 meal initiative for those who really cannot afford to stretch their wallet
