Let discuss this Scenarios:

Malaysian stay at KL, earn RM5000 salary

VS

Malaysian stay at Singapore, earn SGD3000 salary

Who actually earn more if both of them continue Live Same Lifestyle (No "Kuli" life, but not luxury life either, just comfortable middle class life)?

p.s. do consider stuff like EPF thingy, etc

singapore

SGD3k can't buy you middle class. SGD5k barely makes it to middle class.

hmmm... really?

U already got offer to Singapore?

which mean, RM5000 in malaysia is a middle class, while SGD 3000 need downgrade lifestyle a bit?

Got item selling for RM599 on Lazada.com.my

The same item selling for SGD134 on Lazada.sg

if stay at johor ok.. Singapore ok

3K at singapore do what?? security job ka??

700 for rental, 300 for food, 200 for makan, 300 for other living expenses, 200 for entertainment. 1700 gone straight...

iF SGD3000, employer provide housing, then it's good.

not really, just my friend got it, and we been discussing about it recently

Can you get a mortgage in sg or do you need to pay rent?
Rm5k u can afford a car also.

In sg u need to rely on trains to go everywhere. After a while will be damn sien. Cannot just drive out for a burger for example.

if you want the experience you're gaining in Singapore (with more exposure then I would suggest you to work in Singapore)

then after 2 to 3 years come back Malaysia then demand a salary that would on par with the Singapore salary after conversion to MYR

Still save SGD1K=RM 3100 to RM 3300. Still worth it.

factor in your spendings and commitments too bro. List it out, what and how much u spend every months. Then see u can save how much.

Also where are u staying while working in SG? If in Johor, then it's worth. Coz u earn SGD, and spend MYR. But then the big trade off is the time and mental part that u spend on travelling daily.

Singapore

if u jimat for few year..u can earn big
makan sana murah, sewa cheaper bilik

last time i go interview at sg. offer sg2500.
i gembira..but boss said the 2500 included levy (cukai kepala)
i ask how much....that time is sg550 (for ppl like malaysia go there to work)
kalau pinoy yg belajar kat sg and graduate..levy only sg350, bangla 1100.

so i count after deduct...gaji macan tak manyak like KL..so i reject.
now levy sudah naik 600.

Manager—Employee—Boss or Director
Picture says it all

To be honest 3k sgd is almost fresh grad level salary. Rm5k here is someone with 3-5 years experience.

Try to nego. 3.5-4k sgd. otherwise just stay malaysia till can get a 5-6k offer. Then you can save a lot.

win win win apa ranciao
