When I was in the different cities in Germany for work, everyday items were definitely more expensive than Malaysia.  $1RM in Malaysia can buy more things than $1 Euro.

Below is a rough comparison of cost of living in Germany and Malaysia:

Which part of Germany do u stay last time?
I was there 6 months ago.
And i can confirm the cost of living there is definitely lower than Malaysia.

Back to topic, i always said do not compare Malaysia with Singapore as there is limited land there.
But just to share with everyone the situation there since a lot of people in this forum thinks the almighty Singapore house price will never drop.

Private home resale prices fall for 4th month in December:

Good. I stayed there too.
How much do you spent for a bottle of beer in a pub?
How much do you pay for a frankfurter?
And the pork knuckle there is so damn cheap.

Beer is very cheap in Germany.  Pork knuckles, just like cuckoo clocks...are for tourists.

I thought u just mentioned every day item more expensive than Malaysia? Now u said beer is cheap?
How about price of mineral water there?
How about price for a set of McDonald's meal?
And also a piece of Nike tshirt?
All of the above is still more cheaper in Germany than Malaysia.

Non HDB.

Most probably foreigner owners.

Already make multiple fold from property and currency gain.

Time to sell fast and move to Malaysia.

I dont think smart singaporean property investors will invest in Malaysia property now. Maybe for those foreigner who follow the herd and buy blindly will invest in Malaysia now.
There's a news in Singapore mentioning that the SGD to RM conversion could reach 2.80 to 3.00 in 5 to 10 years time.
In that news, it also warns Singaporean to reconsider if they plan to invest in Malaysia property.

Friend, you don't drink beer everyday, which is bad for your health.  And those things you quote are not your everyday items.  Okay you win, the cost of living in Germany is cheaper than Malaysia.  You can migrate there if you wish to save more money.

Beer is a regular drinks in Germany and is cheaper than soft drinks in most restaurants.

It seem beer price in Malaysia is among the most expensive in the world.

BTimes, icemanfx is right. Beer is a regular drinks in Germany. And it is damn cheap.
A glass of beer in a pub in Frankfurt is only 1.50 to 2 Euros,
Meanwhile in Malaysia is at very least RM6.00 to RM12.00 per glass in pub.
Now that's a huge difference.

Another example is a buffet in Frankfurt charges around 20 Euros,
while in Malaysia, it is at very least RM60 to RM80 per pax.

You'll never get a chance to see this kind of news from our local pro-BN mainstream media (TV1, TV2, TV3 and all those crap).
