If i am driving at Aus, i will prefer wagon !! Much love for the wagon which is not so popular in sg/msia.

Packing my stuff and leaving Singapore soon.

I'm thinking of magna wagon or camry wagon. V6 engine high thirst, probably mpv would be best

I believe Ubank offers the best savings interest at the moment, but I'm with ANZ (staff lah..) and has a progress saver account which is a high interest savings acc. For most banks, you can waive off the monthly fee if you credit your salary (min 2k/month) into your account.

I use CBA to send money back to KL ($22 per international transaction, but sometimes you get promo rates of $8), can't be bothered opening a Citi account in KL. I'll just foot the fee.. Money usually in my Msia account that very night! Try sending money on quarterly basis if fees are involved (and wait out for the best time to maximise best forex rate).

Need some advice, if I want to transfer money between Malaysia and Australia (part of the migration plan) then what would be the smart way to go about it without being hit hard by service charges and sub-par exchange rates?

Comments above indicate Citibank Plus is good for sending money back here (assuming I'm a MYS Citi account holder and open a Citibank Plus account), but in my case I would like to:

- Move savings to AUS for expenses etc (Ideally a 1 time thing, so I don't wanna mess this up since it will be a chunk of money)

- Be able to send back to parents here (every month / few months). From the comments above opening the 2 Citi accounts sounds like the way to go.

I can only share that the food there is very expensive...

i dont think food in malaysia any cheaper too

Noted and thank you so much !!!

Malaysia food is getting extremely expensive nowadays. Seems like eating out turn out to be not an option.
I hardly imagine even if you buying some groceries, say RM200, is that gonna sustain you for just home cooking and bring your own lunch to office?
To be honest, even though Aussie eating out is expensive, but the portion is huge. Dollar to dollar basis, I can't get the same portion if i'm paying RM10 for a meal.
Yes, eating out always expensive, but still manage to bring family for a decent meal each week. Depending on your budget. Descent meal doesn't mean must be expensive

Will start up new job tomorrow. Hopefully everything runs well on new environment and colleagues.
Finally get myself a used mpv at a very good price. get it repaired on wear & tear thing which overall very very good price. Car condition is awesome.
