Your salary is consider good given you are working in Sarawak. If you work in KL or Penang, maybe can demand 200-300 more.

if you all want to know whether under paid or over paid, very simple ... go apply few jobs and see if people offer you or not the expected salary ...

else, no people can answer as this is too subjective.
