possible to survive but live a poor life cause saving will be your priority.
I think for new ppl planning to come here, be ready for de walk, you walk and stand and walk everywhere cause you wont be able to afford a car yet.  Really i thought staying near the mall is beneficial, man am i wrong.  Too near to take taxi and walking with 4 bags of groceries is not really fun.  Do you have friends here? If you dont, you better think up a hobby fast cause every time you go out is money.

If i am you and i can find a job that pays me 2.5k above in Malaysia, i would rather stick to Malaysia

p/s : refer page 1 for cost of living and start saving, your first month deposits will be a shocker.

rawrr i am such a ranting b**** today

first of all, what kind of job that offers you this salary ?
if fnb line or shift work, i think u can save a lot because for sure you will have one meal in the hotel.

So , renting will cost around 600 dollar + transport to work 120dollar + makan 300 /month = 1020 dollar
so.. u save like 600 simply .
all you need to control whether are u a smoker ? if yes , another 200 dollar.
hobby or what u do during off day is important cuz that will determine whether how much u save the money.
