^ you forgot rent. the asking prices are "amazing"!

if your company doesn't pay for accommodation and you're not an EP holder, i think just forget it.

you will be taxed in singapore. singapore and malaysia have a double taxation agreement so the malaysian side wont tax you. the tax will kick in on your income derived in singapore the moment you are physical present in singapore > 183 days. tax rate for non-resident is a hefty 15 freaking percent. you can appeal for residential rates if your employment is long term (and long term here means more than 1 year ).

oh. btw, tax is derived from the total sum of you expat package...that means your non-monetary benefits as well - free airplane tickets back home, housing allowance, moving allowance and all that crap.
