we m'sia labour normally is cheaper by 20%~ than market rate

^ i need coffee, i think is me
SGD5k= RM5k or SGD30k = RM 30k
later i came back and try to brain this

If your dad can afford a condo in KL. Then he can afford to get himself a new car since the existing one getting old.

Malaysia also need to pay rental/instalment lah.

Besides S$4300 is equivalent to RM10300. Do you end up with RM10K after deducting rental/instalment in Malaysia?

RM7K... after deducting rental, you probably have RM6K.

RM6K compared to S$4.3K/RM10K... yes?

this is a trick question right?
if u focus only on money...you already have your answer.
if u are focusing on feeling...what i feel is different from what u or others feel....so how can i comment?

Not really.
You forgot to factor in SG lower tax (no withholding), lower cost of living and lower transportation costs (no need car).

In M'sia you have to take into account housing loan or rent (if you're not staying in father & mothers house), car instalments, servicing of car, petrol, parking, toll in addition to the higher cost of virtually everything from food to clothes and higher tax.

To give you a flavour of what that means, I am currently SAVING (after all deductions including rental, tax, transportation, food, entertainment, etc) in Singapore Dollars MORE than I earn (Gross) in Malaysia after conversion into RM....and I'm paid RM 1 = SGD1.....

second day in SG.
2molo is first day working....
28th reach at house owner sign an rental agreement and listen the house owner discipline....few rules start with
Do not........blah .....

compare to malaysia.Food
In SG i need wlk 5-10 minutes go 2 food court eat dinner. Mamak stall.
and when i oder roti canai, it did not allow me order 1 roti canai....must order 2 roti canai.

In malaysia i always order 1 roti canai and 1 teh tarik for supper....

Compare to malaysia:Transport
Walk walk and walk....feel tired...however saw Many pretty and sexy lady dress very nice using MRT.....In Malaysia this kind of girls drive 2 work 1....now they same like me take MRT.....hehe

I Miss the Malaysia food in kuchai lama, SS2 Murni and Asia Cafe


And read chinese news paper in SG,similar with HK apple daily style, nothing big news but just gossip and realize that alot SG young lady easily cheated by guys....not handsome 1 and no money also....

Internet:
In SG every house wifi also got password protected.Not like Malaysia i scan the wifi can found many unify or streamyx user did not put the password and can easy use their network.
Even in Mcdonal we need request password from their staff, and i think is auto password genarated everyday.Very secure.


SG government education is good

Coming saturday will go geylang walk walk and eat recommenced foods...porridge

SG is small, hence very small news also will get published, like the Remy Ong hit-and-run a dog ...

You guys actually read STOMP?
Anyone buying insurance in Singapore? Such as those term life, capital guarantee, or savings type of insurance?

Am considering whether to "top up" Malaysian insurance, or buying one in Singapore.

Anyway, no perf bonus nor pay raise for me this year, although I've got my pro-rated 13th month salary. I guess it's fair enough since I started work last September.

man, you case is 100% like me. so basically 0.25 month salary


I am planning to see an AIA agent on 9th March, getting a health insurance.
