so the cycle remains.

sin1k for $3 meals vs RM1K for RM5 meals.

KL is super expensive.

its like earning RM but spending in Sin dollars.

many stuff there are actually priced in "sin" dollars and I am talking about necessities like food, drinks, etc.

that's why whenever i visit my kl friends, i always pay for the big amounts... not easy living in kl for a malaysian.

i do salute Malaysians for having to pay through their nose and still have savings to buy houses, yup houses not house.

honestly, i don think most Singaporean can buy our "pigeon holes" if not for our CPF.

Dude, I'm just stating out some of the real examples from my friends. Malaysian.
Since the question posted was about steps to convert his Malaysia driving license and whether to surrender his Malaysia driving license back to them.

My advice is try to keep his Malaysia driving license.

Not sure about Indon thou.

Come I help you

Monthly Average salary (41th to 50th percentile - 2012): $1715

Tax : $1 ($11.60 - 1 year)
Rent : $2,344.44
Makan : $300 ($10 * 30 days)
Transport : $105 ($1.75 * 2 trip * 30 days)
Phone/ utilities : $50
Total expenses : $2800

Nett = $1715 - $2800 = -$1085

I suspect this is due to the close proximity between Singapore and Malaysia and also historical ties between the 2 nation. Do note it is the Malaysian side that WILL cancel your Malaysian license (and restate it back if you cancel the Singaporean license if not mistaken)

For your Indonesia though experiment, he/she will have 2 license as there is no need for Indonesian side to cancel their own license ?

how come rent so expensive?? with that income impossible anyone would wanna rent a whole unit

should be around $500-600 for single room

maybe you should learn english so that you don't sound like an idiot. Since nobody understands what you want so nah simply anyhow give you some data.

dia bilang hendak purata, puratalah saya beri. Mungkin dia 'memancing dengan tali kot'

Majulah Malaysia, world class education system with ~11 years of compulsary English classes.

The most General answer will be...

AVERAGE income - X (varies with your qualification)
AVERAGE liabilities - Y (varies with your lifestyle)

X-Y = Z

Z is the AVERAGE income you can save. Assuming NO CAR and PROPERTY in Singapore

for roughly how much you need for AVERAGE LIABILITIES (Y), Google around or you can read back the post here. How much you can get for an AVERAGE INCOME (X), you can state your qualification here, and maybe someone will give the range of your INCOME.

If you want a very GENERAL GENERAL answer. Go google, the debt to GDP ratio of Singapore. Then you can get the overall idea.

Then, if you want to ASK for QUESTIONS, do it nicely and clearly so people can help you better. In case you do not know, when you are asking for a question, it means you need someone to answer. Which concludes you need 'HELP'. Because no one here is obligated to answer your question.

Thanks and hope it helps.
