I usually don't post too much on this forum but looking at some responses here I cannot tahan already. Some of the posts look like Kopitiam style but everyone is entitled to his opinions so that is comprehensible.
Those comments such as "Wahhh, not enough lah. 20k already take out the whole kitchen budget already" or "20k is peanuts these days and you cant' do much" etc. basically don't take these comments seriously buddy. Your house is in a new neighbourhood right? If that's the case I am sure there will be few (or many) renovation contractors that will be looking for business. Get some quotations for the kitchen cabinet and grilles.
As some here has mentioned, RM20k for basic renovation is enough. It depends on what you choose in the end. If you want a big kitchen cabinet with granite top and fancy fittings, even RM20k is not enough. For basic kitchen, you can get it done for RM3k to 5k depending on how big you want the cabinet to be. Instead of granite top, tiles for the table top will be cheaper. Wet kitchen you can do a small table top for cooking and dry kitchen you can just plan for a small area. For storage you can just get some open racks like the ones shown in the 1st page, but the cheaper ones from Ikea(look at the Pantry section of Ikea website and you will know what I mean).
Iron grille is a must for single-storey and you can get few quotations on this. So to answer your question, RM20k for kitchen and iron grille renovation is possible. You may even get it done at RM15k or lower too. It is only when you consider the other aspects of renovation such electrical appliances and the installation cost (light, fan, air-cond, water heater, fridge, washing machine etc.), then that will add up to the total cost and RM20k will likely be insufficient.
Not forgetting the wardrobe for bedrooms and furniture (sofa and TV bench etc.) which will also take up a bit more money.
