How wealthy are the Chinese in Malaysia compared with the general population? More specifically, how much do they (Chinese in Malaysia) make each year per capita?

与马来西亚民众相比，马来西亚的华人有多富？具体而言，马来华人的人均年收入是多少？

以下是Quora网友的评论：

There is official number on how much Chinese earn per capita.

But, one thing unmistakable is the Chinese own business/shop/mall/big houses in city.

It is very prominent to the extent that you can't go to the row of shop in West Coast states of peninsular malaysia without seeing one. That's should explain generally how well off they are.

马来西亚华人的人均收入是有官方统计数据的。

但是，有一件事是肯定的，那就是华人在城市里拥有自己的企业、商店、商场和豪宅。

这种现象非常普遍，在马来西亚半岛西海岸各地随处可见。这大概能说明他们有多富裕了吧。

Notes: I'm not complaining or blaming Chinese on this. I think they deserve this very well. Coz the shop or business that you can rely on is always Chinese. It is affordable, fast and most importantly they always open even during weekend, and most of them continue for decades.

注：我并不是在抱怨或指责华人。我认为这是他们应得的。因为人们信赖的商店或生意都是华人的。价格实惠，速度快，最重要的是周末也会一直开门营业，几乎都是几十年的老店了。

Majority of Chinese in Malaysia are still very poor and not able to do much for the country due to restrictive policies set up by previous governments that has not been enforced in the past but failed to benefit the entire population as a whole including the Chinese too

马来西亚的大多数华人还是很穷的，无法为国家做太多贡献，这是因为前任政府制定了很多限制性政策，这些政策在过去没有得到正式执行，未能惠及包括华人在内的全体马来人。

seriously for the country to progress Malaysia need to rewrite all the policies that can truly bring the country forward and benefit all races that live in the country and bring out the best of all the versions races in the county

为了国家的进步，马来西亚需要重新指定能够真正推动国家发展的政策，让生活在这个国家的所有族群都能从中受益，并让这个国家的所有族群都得到最好的发展。

It is difficult to provide a precise answer to your question, as the wealth of the Chinese community in Malaysia varies widely and depends on a number of factors, including their education, occupation, and business ventures.

很难准确回答你的问题，因为马来西亚华人社区的贫富差距很大，导致这种情况的因素也很多，包括教育程度、职业和行业。

In Malaysia, the Chinese population makes up about 23% of the total population, according to the 2010 Census. The Chinese community in Malaysia is a diverse group with a long history in the country, and many members have made significant contributions to the nation's economic and social development.

根据2010年的人口普查，华人约占马来西亚总人口的23%。马来西亚华人群体是一个多元化的群体，在马来西亚定居的历史悠久，许多华人为马来西亚的经济社会发展做出了重要贡献。

In general, the Chinese in Malaysia have a higher per capita income compared to the general population. According to data from the World Bank, the average per capita income in Malaysia in 2020 was approxmately $10,470. However, this figure includes the incomes of both the rich and the poor, and does not provide a clear picture of the wealth distribution within the Chinese community in Malaysia.

总体而言，马来西亚华人的人均收入高于全国平均水平。根据世界银行的数据，马来西亚2020年的人均收入约为10470美元。但这个数字既包括富人的收入，也包括穷人的收入，并没能具体说明马来西亚华人社区的财富分布情况。

It is worth noting that the income distribution in Malaysia is highly unequal, with a significant portion of wealth concentrated in the hands of a small number of individuals. This is true for both the Chinese and non-Chinese communities in Malaysia.

In conclusion, it is difficult to accurately quantify the wealth of the Chinese community in Malaysia, as it is a diverse group with a wide range of incomes and wealth.

值得注意的是，马来西亚的收入分配很不平等，很大一部分财富集中在少数人手中。无论是在马来西亚的华人社区还是非华人社区都是如此。

综上所述，马来西亚华人社区的财富水平难以准确量化，因为这是一个收入和财富范围较为广泛的多元化群体。

The Chinese generally will save more than average. It is ingrained in their upbringing that money is hard to come by and at best very temporary.

Most will not spend unnecessarily on non-essential items. Such luxury expenditure can be postponed until one has accumulated a large enough savings.

一般而言，中国人的储蓄金额会比平均水平更高。在他们的成长过程中，挣钱不易的观念已经深深烙印在他们的脑中。

大多数中国人不会把为非生活必需品花钱。这样的奢侈支出会打乱一个人的存钱大计。

So yes, most Chinese would have more savings than average.

Per capita income is a pointless measurement as it is difficult to isolate incomes by race. It suffices to say that poverty is just as much a problem for the Chinese as anyone else.

所以，大多数中国人的储蓄金额会高于平均水平。

人均收入是一个毫无意义的衡量标准，因为我们很难按族群来统计收入。贫困对中国人和其他任何族群来说都是一个同样严重的问题。

Article by Ong Kian Ming:

“One statistic which may surprise many is that there are more Bumiputera households earning more than RM10,000 a month compared with Chinese households.

Ong Kian Ming的文章:

“有一项统计数据可能会让很多人感到惊讶，那就是与华人家庭相比，月收入超过1万令吉的马来土著家庭的数量更多。

According to Khazanah Research Institute’s State of the Household Report first published in 2014, there were 280,000 Bumiputera households with monthly incomes exceeding RM10,000 compared with 254,000 Chinese households and 45,000 Indian households.

These figures were obtained from the 2012 household and income survey collected by the Department of Statistics.

根据国库控股研究所2014年首次发布的家庭状况报告，月收入超过1万令吉的马来土著家庭有28万个，而华人家庭为25.4万个，印度家庭为4.5万个。

这些数据来自于2012年的家庭和收入调查，由统计部门收集。

Many Bumiputera, especially Malay households, are in the T20 category. This is part of the professionalisation and urbanisation experience of the Malays over the past four decades and this trend will continue as more Malays move to the urban areas and as more Malays obtain higher education qualifications (a subject for another post) and have access to better job opportunities.

许多土著，尤其是马来家庭，都属于T20类别。这是马来人在过去四十年职业化和都市化发展的一部分，随着更多马来人迁往城市，以及更多马来人获得高等教育资格和更好的工作机会，这一趋势将继续延续下去。

Many high-paying jobs, whether in the civil service, government-linked companies or in non-GLC listed companies are held by Malay professionals.

很多高薪工作，无论是在公务员、政府相关公司或非glc上市公司，都由马来西亚的专业人士担任。

Of course, it is also true that the majority of the B40 group are from the Bumiputeras. According to figures collected for the 11th Malaysia Plan, the Bumiputeras comprised 73.6% of households in the B40 category.[4]

当然，B40群体的大多数也来自土著，这也是事实。根据为第11个马来西亚计划收集的数据统计，土著占B40类别家庭的73.6%。

At the same time, it is also worth highlighting that Chinese households comprise 17.5% of the B40 category and Indian households 7.5%. The impression that all Chinese are rich towkays is clearly a mistaken one.

与此同时，值得强调的一点是华人家庭占到B40类家庭的17.5%，印度家庭占7.5%。认为所有华人都是有钱人的印象显然是不对的。

This question somehow provoke the attribute of an unbalanced society where the incomes difference of Chinese Malaysians are so width by themselves. Per capita income of the lowest are around USD 7,000 but the top tier incomes of the rich could be reaching USD1 Million per capita. These group usually own businesses. Average per capita income for Chinese Malaysians are much higher due to this skewed distribution itself. It is around USD30k whereas for non-chineses are around USD10k.

这个问题在某种程度上引发了一个社会不均的问题，马来西亚华人的收入差距非常大。最低阶层的人均收入约为7000美元，但富人的最高收入可能达到人均100万美元。这些群体通常拥有自己的企业。由于这种收入不均，马来西亚华人的人均收入要高得多。大约在3万美元左右，而非华人的人均收入约为1万美元。

This is too general in scope. Not all Malaysian Chinese are rich tycoons who live in the clouds and never let their toes touch the ground.

There are millions of Chinese Malaysians who just get by with a working wage. To pointedly ask why Malaysian Chinese are so rich just shows your utter ignorance of the country and its people.

这个问题太广了。不是所有的马来西亚华人都是生活在云端之上、脚趾从不沾地的富豪。

有数百万马来西亚华人靠打工收入度日。你如此针对性地提问为什么马来西亚华人这么富有，只能说明你对这个国家和民众完全不了解。

Every single Chinese Malaysian has to work to earn a living. Those who become rich are those who have a legacy from their ancestors or have earned their place in society by working hard for what they want in life.

As an oppressed race in the country, you learn to respect the laws of the land and work around them.

每一个马来西亚华人都必须工作谋生。那些有钱人是继承了长辈遗产的人，或者是通过努力工作获得了自己想要的生活、并在社会上赢得一席之地的人。

作为在这个国家受到压迫的华人群体，你要学会尊重这片土地的法律。

This is why when they succeed, their fortunes are envied. But you never hear of their dedication to their trade because working hard in Chinese culture is unspoken.

It is a Chinese trait to adapt to the conditions you are born into. This is why they even thrive in places like Africa, where they learn and adapt to cultures completely alien from theirs.

这就是当他们获得成功时其他族群会眼红他们的财富的原因。但你从来没听说过他们对生意投入了多少心血，因为在中国文化中，努力工作是再自然不过的事。

适应环境是中国人的一个优点。这就是为什么他们甚至在非洲这样的地方也能大获成功的原因，他们会积极学习和适应与自己完全不同的文化。

So before you point a racial finger at anyone for being rich, do a bit of research first before asking stupid questions.

所以，在你用种族歧视对别人的富有说三道四，提出愚蠢的问题之前，先做一些基础研究吧。

Mel Chen

first and far most, I am not a Malaysian. But have travelled there frequently, (few times a week), and have many friends there.

Let me say that it is a myth that general population of chinese is rich. Some do, many be those in top few percent.

首先，我不是马来西亚人。但我经常去马来西亚(一周几次)，在那里结识了很多朋友。

我要先说一下，华人都很有钱只是一个谣言。有些华人确实有钱，是那些最富有的百分之几的人。

As Chinese as well as Indian, even if their scores are good, they cannot go to University easily, as the quota given to them is very low.

Civil service job is not open to them.

Housing discount don’t have their shares.

So, they have to work double hard just to stay afloat.

无论是华人还是印度人，就算他们学习成绩很好，也无法轻松进入大学，因为大学给他们的配额非常少。

公务员的工作也不对他们开放。

购房折扣也没有他们的份儿。

所以，他们必须加倍努力才不会落于人后。

There's no indicator measuring the wealth of the Chinese. But, the GDP of USD 13,000 annual income per capita On the 33 million population of which 70% of the population is malay.

While China is only USD 12,000 per capita, & US is USD 53,000 per capita.

没有指标可以估算华人的财富。但是，马来西亚3300万人口的人均GDP为13000美元，其中70%的人口是马来人。

而中国人均GDP只有1.2万美元，美国人均GDP为5.3万美元。

Malaysian Chinese are spread around whole of Malaysia except in 4 states : Kelantan, Terengganu, Perlis & Sabah where they made of only 2% to 9% of the population in these 4 states. In other states & territories they made up from 15 to up to 43% of the population. Majority of them live in urban areas ie. cities, towns etc which mostly were started in early 20th century from areas of tin mines & ship ports around Malaysia where most of them worked & settled when they first immigrate from China.

马来西亚华人分散在马来西亚各地，除了吉兰丹、登嘉楼、玻璃市和沙巴，华人只占这四个州人口的2%到9%。在其他地区，华人占到当地人口的15%到43%。他们中大多数住在城市地区，这些城市、城镇等大多是在20世纪初以马来西亚各地的锡矿和航运港口为基础建立起来的，他们中的大多数人是从中国来马来西亚工作和定居的第一代移民。

Since the Klang Valley is Malaysia’s biggest in size & population for urban area, I’d say that it is the part of Malaysia which has the most Chinese, namely the areas of Petaling Jaya, Ke, injang & Cheras.

由于巴生谷是马来西亚面积最大、人口最多的城市地区，也是马来西亚华人最大的聚居地，如八打灵再也、甲洞、曾江和蕉赖地区。

In term of percentage, it would be Penang Island (state of Penang has 2 main areas - The Island & Butterworth which in on the mainland). Malaysian Chinese made up almost half the population in Penang Island & 40% of the whole State of Penang but the numbers are lower than in Klang Valley.

就百分比而言，华人占比最多的地区是槟榔屿(槟榔屿有两个大区-岛屿和巴特沃斯)。马来西亚华人几乎占到槟榔屿人口的一半，也占到整个槟州的40%，但在人数上低于巴生谷。
