Less then 1.5k ? I think with that budjet you can get something good already.

Try Fender Squiere Stratocaster + roland microcube if you wan a mid-range guitar that can last you quite long since you just started. Use practice amp 1st.

If you wan something simple, try SX or Stagg guitars, those offered by bro burgercis in GS are pretty cheap. Ibanez is also a good choice. For your amp, that Microcube cost around RM350~400. Guitar around RM 800~1K. The other RM 100+ can buy distortion pedal, but the amp already have built-in distortion effect. Unless you want better distortions quality.

Or you can start it out with guitar packs from

Yamaha @ RM 11xx, includes gig bag, pick, cable, tuner, amp & the guitar.

Ibanez @ RM 8xx, same as above but i dont think this comes with tuner.

Behringer @ RM 5xx, Behringer V-tone <-- this is a low-end guitar for beginner.
