No choice bro, definitely most people would choose less pay for more free time if i read you correctly which means working in MY would be a better choice. I am in my mid thirties and looking for a better job opportunities which equals to better pay in SG plus the high conversion rate in SGD against RM. The reason I want to give it a try in SG is because we are unable to cope up with the cost of rising in MY. 
I'm married with 2 kids and I already starts to worried if I would be able to even send them to college in the future. Not mentioning that buying a house with a RM5k income is almost impossible when i am the only sole bread winner. We are not those spendthrift but we need to prepare for for the future aheads of us.
If I continue to work in MY, I forsee that I would still be running around with max income of 7 to 8k in another 5 to 8 years and that if taking into consideration that the economy is good and the bosses are making more money and they are willing to raise your pay. But that really depends on which company you land into, otherwise it's going to be tough to reach that income bracket.
I would eventually move my family to JB and get a property in JB if I forsee SG is going to be a better option. I felt so uneasy to leave my family, but the thought of the sacrifice made today would eventually be better for the whole family in the future which have made me to look into SG as another option.
I would rather sacrifice for a better pay and queue like the rest of the malaysians do and spend my time with my kids on the weekend if this option of working in SG is going to materialize.

Good luck, never too late to start. My parents come over in their 40s. They made it, so me and my siblings are the 2nd generations enjoying their hard work, just like what others Malaysians enjoying back home. The first step always the hardest step.
Better spend more time with the kids when they are young to shape their mindset. Teach them well in live so you no need spend on their college, free scholarships everywhere in SG. My parents also single income family, endured hardship during the younger times, end up growing up better than most peers I see.
