RM40K from a single income provider, if you live moderately is very very more than enough la for Malaysians. These fellas here does not know there are expats working in malaysia as SEA company managers that are earning RM25K monthly. Yet they can afford penthouse in slight outskirts of KL.

Those who say RM40K not enough for a family of 5 with a home and car is clearly have been squandering money from their parents. In fact many does not know that there are a lot of people living with accumulated RM20K monthly household income living in a DS terrace house with 2 cars.

Who eats RM50 b/fast la? RM100 lunch at most mid restaurants can feed 2-3 people. Dinner also the same. You might as well just cook the money and eat it right since cannot finish the food everytime.

Just today I saw a small kompeni's financial and audit report - from what I can see, the kompeni got 3 workers with salary. All 3 are shareholders, 2 of them are directors.

The director tak ada director's fee - but daaaaaaaaaaaaaaymmmmmm, over 60k of the kompeni money goes to travelling, over 100k of the kompeni's money go to entertainment.

Sime Darby paying RM40k a month as salary. Is that kind of a pay enough to live a decent lifestyle in KL?

If you're single, then it's enough since you say "decent' lifestyle. If "luxurious" lifestyle den confirm not enough.Make sure Sime Darby offer of RM40k is NETT PAY means company will cover all your taxes. Expatriate taxes are different from local citizen taxes if i'm not mistaken.
