House Improvement - DIY

What do you think of Home Improvement - DIY in Malaysia?
For most Malaysian
STINGY
For Expat
LABOUR is EXPENSIVE
For Me
Let me give you an example here:
Tiling the house floor - RM3K
Outsourcing
Tiles - RM1K
Labour - RM1.5K
Materials - RM0.5K
Total = RM3K
However,
DIY
Tiles - RM1K
DIY - RM0.1K
Materials - RM0.5K
Total = RM1.6K
Let us compare between outsourcing and DIY, I already save RM1.4K.
So it means a new blackberry playbook (add value) for me for this Eid Ul Fitri.
Ha Ha Ha !!!
p/s: Value for money or I am taking control of my own financial?
