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

Stay Sg rent close to ur workplace
Save money to buy car and bring all money back to ur hometown buy ur affordable house.
Living in MY need car , no car no kaki , u spend more on car, and your salary 5k from 1k all gone to car.
Even your food spend on 30 for each 10rm daily meal.
Spend in Sg maybe around 15 Sg then u save 15 each day.

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.

it is illegal for the employer to charge employee levy.

You are better off in Singapore as the country is far more advanced and the people who work there although foreigners are more positive and competitive.

In KL you will learn mediocracy

It all about your lifestyle, depending on the currency you earn.

With SGD 3k, as following,

- Share room with other people, approximately SGD 350/ person with aircon room.
- MRT - SGD 50 / month
- Food - SGD 300 / month with SGD 10 / daily spend for 3 meal.
- Fill in your other expense for the rest

Haha how come advice about working in SG involves downgrading your lifestyle (compared to when in Malaysia)? In Malaysia you cannot downgrade your lifestyle meh in order to save money?

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

When you kuli in foreign country, you are trading your youth for money. Sharing a room is a downgrade, unless you want to pay Sgd1.5-2k for a flat.
There will be a time when you must make a decision to come back if you are not a citizen there. So you'll want to make sure you have life savings, else everyone including your own siblings might avoid you.

Depends on how u live ur life la actually. RM 5k can be ok for a lot of people but for others they will say 5k is peanuts.

3k sgd u have to be pandai pandai la. Share hdb with other people, eat simple hawker food, cook once in a while, stay near where u work, etc.

Fully agree. Many ppl i know are spending all the money they earn, so they can't afford to return to lower salary in Msia. It's very unlikely to get similar or higher pay in Msia.
