Wage levels (Singapore) = 41.7% of New York
Wage levels (KL) = 21.0% of New York

Therefore on average, ratio of SG salary to KL salary on average is 1.98 : 1.00;
i.e if you had RM 10,000 in KL, and you moved to SG and got RM19,800 (SGD 8,215), you would be earning exactly the same in terms of comparison to the average wage levels in each city. So ... SGD0.8 : MYR 1.0 lor.

Obviously this calculation is hardly comprehensive, can at best be used as just a rough guideline.

Please recommend me a place in Malaysia where I can see pretty girl then touch then no trouble de

You may think that way but the truth is you can easily find ppl who are warmhearted (very likely not singaporeans)
Mobility will not be a big issue...there are lot of forums for specific interest and area which you can join.
i stay in the north but play badminton in the east every week because of the company.

u wan gardening...then lower ur requirement to potted plants.
as i said...u wan frens to yum cha and tok kok, go make more frens.
u wan a home...go rent the whole unit then...no money, share wif frens/settle down.
when u are in kl...the petrol is cheap when u are earning RM and buying in RM? no toll in KL?
i dun drive here so i dun really know the exact price of petrol, but from what i observe...it is abt 2.xx per litre, which is similar to the price in m'sia 1.9x
u are complaining things are against u when u are affected by change (due to the move) but refuse to adapt.

With the pay in Malaysia, I'll be stuck at home yum cha and gardening.
Working here in Singapore, I can fly every month for budget trip. Unless you call travelling = boring.

I think most ppl(especially those from KL) call Singapore a bore because they're away from the buddies and family, and they've yet to build up a new social life here.

To me life in Sg now is like how I just moved from Pg to KL. Things will get better soon.

maybe some are introvert, the social circle is not big here so they find it boring. which is why I strong recommend everyone to join the Facebook group created by our JB KING.

seriously, i am quite sick of the kopitiam style talk here.. i created a thread in /k/ for kopitiam style talk. anything to do with living in Singapore, go there.
stop cheating post count over here.

I work in Sg lor

Recruit Express deals a lot with GLC companies. I got my job via Recruit Express in Singapore. The HH can be quite aggressive if they know the company is interested in you.

Why not fair? In Mareshia, drink driving is not a big deal, only not drunk driving. If road block and you cannot pass the test result, the most is you pay kopi, rarely get a saman until you suspend your license.

But in singapore, i hearsay so many comments about drink driving that the penalty is so serious that you may end up in jail and license suspended. I guess, no need to reach to the seriuosness of going to jail, just license suspended is terrible enough. Without a license, what to do with the car? Park it at car park lot to rot but keep paying? I am not that rich...

Anyone seen the KFC incident in Malaysia?

What a damn racist act by that bunch of pariah.

I mean come on, if this ever happen in Singapore, it a gone case, that guy will probably get an ISA term for 5 years or disbarred Singapore citizenship.

See for yourself how singapore treats its minors.

Even indonesia is better than malaysia nowadays.

See the bottom of the photo, "NOTE"

Kawan, am not here to complain. I just echoed the post that living in sgp is a bit boring only.

Perhaps, you are still young, you still can enjoy hangout in pubs, discos, makan makan here and there, shopping here and there. But me unker already, most friends here also busy after work. When come out, mostly end up in the pub but drinking is a problem again.....some times curi curi drink till 3-4 mugs but must be super careful and alert on the road... Am have no less friends here cari makan too, just that we all spread north, east, south, west and working time cannot predict, always last minute got this and that....

Backhome, i have a big garden to play with, and you ask me downgrade to potted plants here at the corridor? That is so different and i dont have time to take care all this as me a frequent traveller...I only stay about 50% here and the rest is either backhome or outstation....so, the question to rent a whole unit of hdb is really out of the question. Let me fully settle all my properties backhome, then, may be will seriously start thinking whether to get a private condo or not. Like that means, i will be more committed to grow my root deeper in sgp.

Petrol here is expensive leh...around S2.20 now....If you can get something llike RM1.90 across the strait, sure you will feel here is expensive... Parking also not cheap leh. But save time lar if driving and more flexible.

Added on February 10, 2012, 8:57 amYou only watch the incident? Dont jump into conclusion so easily. Everyone has their side of story and you dont know who is right and who is wrong at the first place and you are not the judge and thus dont add more oil into the fire on the racial thing. From the way you in the post, sure you already side the chinese side and has pre-judge the bunch of KFC workers is at fault. Are you 100% sure as if you are there. Peace bro....

u said u are not complaining but ur post says otherwise.
as i said, u changed the environment u are in, but u wan to remain the same...up to u then.
if it is that bad, then why are u still here?
they have their bad, but we still chose to come here because of their good
so why keep focusing on the bad when the good outweighed the bad in ur decision to come here.
sooner or later (possibly now), u may become a true blue...with your favorite past time being the same as them - complaining

ok...i better stop if not jbking goin to keel me for spamming off topic.

Alamak... you still dont get it, am not complaining, just share the view of a bit boring, If i have painted you the bad side doesnt mean there is no good side mah...at least the money is good...

Me come here not like you who come here look for job. Me come here because boss bring me down. Ask me resign meleshia side and move down here. So, i follow lor. See the salary tiba tiba increase, but have to work away from home and family lor. Suppose we going to setup another Meleshia subsi and i will be posted to take care the company over there but plan change liao. Wao, suddently work at back home again but salary is in SGD....who dont want? But, i have take about 1 year to consider this before i finally come to sgp leh....wasted one year why dont come down earlier ...

My personal view is that it takes two to tango. Restaurant workers don't assault their staff for no reason. Note that I am not justifying the assault - the workers should definitely have had more self control - I'm just saying that the "victim" is hardly as innocent as he's trying to portray himself.

You know this likely wont happen in the service industry here since most of them are foreigners and they would rather bite the bullet and take the insults and what not from irate customers rather then lose their jobs and be sent back to their home country. This does not apply to singaporeans or malaysians since its much easier for them to get another job compared to the other FT's.

Agree to certain degree.....even foreigners also got good and bad one...some time, when anger breaks, hell can happen.....kill you also can....

the only thing i see is about $ ? That is not Sg or My problem.

Added on February 10, 2012, 10:48 amthat's why a lot of service industries in Sg they employed non-english speaking employees. You can complaint/screw em' all day long but with little effect
