Both are spot on.

However, if you live like a poor fag in SG, save $1500 and transfer to MYR, your family maybe can live like a middle class.

Economy beehoon is never economic in Singapore because people always add this towkee and that vege and the fried egg. I think auntie will give you the look if you order kosong mia.

KL better lo.

Singaporeans I know spend quite a bit... they keep upgrading their properties from HDB to private and cars from Jap to Contis... cainis will always be cainis

RM15k not that much also... 3-4 times travel a year will be like 2 times Melaka, 1 time singapore, and 1 time thailand... then then next year can't go anywhere already

If RM20k in Malaysia, will you consider SGD10k in Singapore?
Let say you have wife and kids.......for sure single probably will choose SG cause kids education, tuition, lifestyle is quite expensive in SG

i tend to feel singkie girls are less materialistic and more conservative than msian girls.
So I guess the sought after are by your definition is for the fun by sg guys.
You'd be surprised that theres a demand for msian guys because to the eyes of SG girls. SG guys are all useless hamsap mommy boys.
while SG girls may sound nice. you gotta get used to their accent which sounds like they're permanently whining.

Let’s assume for singles scenario nett salary

3k SGD
Room 600
Phone 100
MRT 100
Food 600
Parent 100
Date 300
Loan 200
Savings 1k= rm3,000

5k MYR
Room 600
Phone 100
Unifi 200
Myvi 600
Petrol 300
Toll 100
Service 100
Food 600
Parent 300
Date 300
Loan 600
Starbucks 200
Savings 1k MYR

yeah.. SG spending tends to be mostly on properties. cars maybe for the 10K SGD class. but the majority will save their money to their graves

got la... airasia promo all book a year in advance. then go backpack and live in airbnb/hostel.. eat 1 time luxury for the photo and the rest of the trip from convenience shop.. or cook instant noodles... janji end of day get the instagram shot...

Malaysia;
Salary : 5k
Dark Mocha @ Starbuck : RM16
Ratio : 1:312.5 (the higher the better)

Singapore;
Salary : 3k
Dark Mocha @ Starbuck : SGD 8
Ratio : 1:375 (the higher the better)

This. Unless u have no choice, otherwise don't get lowballed. SGD 3k is fresh grad pay. Othrwise accept and look for other job.

if got kids definitely SG ironically because of the superior education system. heck many pr msian convert to citizen in SG just so that they can get slots for their kids and hopefully place them into NUS/NTU.

Sleep

If u said it is more expensive in SG after conversion then u should also take into consideration the salary after conversion.

Eg: SGD 3k x 3 = RM9000 compare to RM5000 salary here.

So spending SGD 4.00 (RM12) while u r getting RM9000 (0.13% of your salary) vs spending RM7.50 for kt soup while u r earning RM5000 (0.15% of your salary).

I personally do not do direct conversion just like that.

I take other factors into consideration like one very important factor, public transport. In SG, u dun need a car, u can basically go everywhere with their PT. But working in KL (which has more matured PT), u still need a car to go to your workplace (u can still try to get PT, but u know la, u need to spend a lot of times to take PT here).

I'm moving to SG by February and damn those room for rent prices are like the same in KL but in SGD (800 myr here, 800sgd there) lol

I'm excited to work there though.

SGD10k/month with the kids spending in SG would not have the lifestyle for RM20k/month in Malaysia. So means you would like sacrifice the lifestyle and less saving (compare to stay in Malaysia) for your kids better education in SG. Remember that tuition fee and expenses in SG are much higher, and to save more you need to trade off by taking public transport rather than have your own car

20k in Malaysia should be enough la as long ur wife doesn't go on shopping sprees and have 4 kids who are spoilt to the max.

10k in SG if have wife and kids and live in condo need wife to be working as well to live comfortably. If not, then need to be staying HDB and be slightly frugal. Lol

I watch property hunting channel in astro. Some of the episode got Singaporean looking for house.

1.4-1.5million shd only gets u 1.1-1.2k sqft condo its bullshit really.

In malaysia 1-1.5million sgd gets u a luxury mansion already

Sinkie girls are way more materialistic. They are just not that bothered about M'sian or SG boys given the international options they can choose from.

Luxury mansion where? Definitely not in KL city.
