Not exactly cheap, isn't it?
That's more expensive than the RM7.50 kt soup you compared with.

You earn Sgd3k vs RM5k but you still have to pay more for food after conversion.

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 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.

If u need a car for nonnecessity then this is ur personal choice.

I was giving an example only. Price varies. U can get cheaper or more expensive depends on the area.
