In term of percentage, it was 23 percent and 30 percent respectively lower than the average household income of all bumiputra and of all Malaysians.

The information obtained through the latest household income survey carried out by the statistics department in 2009, was in a parliamentary written reply to MP Teo Nie Ching (DAP-Serdang) last week.
The survey is conducted twice every five years, the latest being 2009.
Result of the survey was published as the Household Income and Basic Amenities Survey Report 2009, which was unprecedentedly made public in June this year.
However, the report does not have separate statistics for bumiputera in the peninsula and the bumiputera in Sabah and Sarawak, but lumps them together in one category, prompting Teo to demand the additional data through Parliament.
According to the parliamentary reply, the survey for this year is still ongoing.
