Currently looking for new role as current role too comfortable, wondering if possible to ask for >20% raise?
feel like not earning much, 1k saving only monthly with no commitment

How come only 1k savings per month with zero commitment? Now Covid some more, a lot of expenditure should be reduced.
And yes, you can get >20% raise, but it won't be easy. You need some kind of professional certification/qualification, and hit it off with the interviewers (especially your direct boss).
You can definitely demand 30% and get it with some persistence. Usually this is a cap for most local Malaysian financial companies at 30%. Don't settle for 20%. But if you even more patient, can go for 40% or 50% even, usually have to hunt outside of Malaysian MNCs for that.
