That will be a huge downgrade in living standards.

why need buy condo when SG ppl can buy their own HDB

are we talking about the same Singapore?
in my circle... Singaporeans i know won't bat an eye on a Malaysian unless you are from a higher financial status... there are good neutral ones as well but mostly are the not

i know a lot of Singaporean who have Malaysian wives

where are you located bro?

their materialistic is from their own spending instead of receiving as gifts... that's what i observed. Just like why some guys buy rolex as a token of achievement... maybe this is due to the spending power.

However their criteria is for a guy might be tougher than materialistic gifts: is to have a fat enough CPF to BTO a HDB the moment they ROM

Sgd$3k > myr$5k..

Malaysia go for PR route...
I got friend starter with $3k and roll up to $5k in 2 years..

RM4-5mil is just a nice bungalow, not exactly a mansion

and SGD1.5mil condo in singapore has quite a good location, not like the usual Jurong kind of distance

means both stay at respective places?

Many parents are willing to sacrifice lifestyle to secure the kid's future. Not having a car is probably just a small sacrifice... considering the transport options they have in SG... And tuition fee is heavily discounted for pr and citizen... consider dollar to dollar, it's actually cheaper than msia for higher education... not to mention scholarships for their citizens too.

Come to Oman la dey... OMR 1 = MYR 11.00

Tuka duit kat exchange in london also feel richest.

Nope, they are even more materialistic. They compare really really hard with their peers about everything from the education to what their partners do/earn, etc...

They have spending power so they expect their partners to have even more.

Once you get out of the major cities in Malaysia, you will find partners that are way less materialistic simply because the environment isn't there.

Oman officially the Sultanate of Oman is an Arab country on the southeastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula in Western Asia. Its official religion is Islam.


not for me. i no tongkat

Starbucks rm200?

Lol.

I knew you'd be doing the conversion right down to percentage. You become kuli yet you save only 0.02% per meal.
A Japanese restaurant dinner for 2 at neighborhood mall sets you back by Sgd40-50 whereas a similar meal here is around RM100.
A little here and there adds up. More so if he doesn't have CPF and hence no savings.

Those who say he doesn't need a car in Sgp is actually trying to console himself not to part with the Sgd1k per month additional expense.
You want to go jogging at East Coast Park when you stay in Jurong? Nah, better go Chinese Garden.

maybe because i mixed with mostly average working class and not the atas business executive kind so maybe that'e why our perspective is different.
there are plenty with msian wives and even those dudes who became husbands to sgrean ladies (infact getting a msian husband more win.... no need worry of reservist and can use husband to invest in malaysian assets and get dependent visa to stay in msia long term) perks that sg men dont get with msian wives.

ayam currently in SG but not for long. in the progress of going down under mate

If single go singapore

what about RM 6k vs SGD 3k?

Earn 3k SGD can save 2k sgd? How wei? Live like bangla issit?

Your public transport no need pay, makan no nee pay ah? Telephone etc all no need ah? Unless you live like a hikimori it’s impossible.

Haha, your friend do what?

If go there now, you're not pr, wont deduct CPF confirm can save around 1k. I started out 2.7k, rent shared room, eat kopitiam food save 1k everymonth. Shortly after, switch job, earn 3k, rent single room, food eat mall food like long John's, mcd, burger king, still save around there.

If your friend expenditure cannot save much with 3k in sg, i doubt can save much with 5k in kl either..

kampung then cannot say la. but in terms of KL the demands are actually way much higher i feel.. and dont forget the whole island of SG can fit inside klang valley.... in terms of environment.

The gap in SG amongst the working class is actually not that big as compared to malaysia where one spot up the ladder can be 1 digit extra... deswai you dont see them throwing around materialistic comparison like branded bags but rather on their partner's career and their kid's achievements.. (i dont think that's considered as material but rather being vain)

for example between a wealthier businessman vs an accomplished doctor ... in SG the doctor would have a higher winning chance in the battle of the tai-tais, while in malaysia, the tai-tais would be comparing their branded bags, cars and diamonds without involving the husband.
