Insurance, Investment, Miscellaneous


My friend always tell me, “You all Malay, very lucky one….. We, Chinese ar, our wedding can cost $50,000 – $60,000…… Our life savings all gone….”

I used to agree with them, until I plan for my own one…. but now, I have a come back line, ” Ya lah….But you all can cover back your costs wat….”

lolz….. I have been procrastinating to post my rough calculation on the cost of Malay wedding in Singapore. But for the benefit of all, below is the extract from my own financial plan, just for my side of the wedding held under my HDB blk, not inclusive my future wife’s side……. :)

    Salam Helmi, could I use your computation in my thesis paper? I’m doing a thesis on Malay weddings and came across this. It’s a good representation of an average Malay wedding and could come in handy for my paper(:
