The Big Mac Index
The Big Mac has been used to compare currencies since The Economist started doing it in 1986. Divide one country's price by another's and you get the exchange rate those two prices imply; the distance from the real rate is the finding.

McDonald's Malaysia is halal-certified market-wide through JAKIM, which is not a menu footnote but a structural fact: pork is absent from the entire supply chain, and certification covers preparation surfaces, oils and cleaning agents rather than just the meat.
The Malaysian board is one of our largest McDonald's menus at 164 items, built around rice meals, spicy chicken and bundle-led value sets rather than a Western value menu of individually cheap items.
Malaysia runs about 18% below the all-market average in our price index, the second-cheapest market we track.
