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

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

SGD win lo

kuew teow soup KL = RM7.50

kuew teow soup SG = RM4

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?

this is what most ppl tot.....but most still stuck in sg till now

one fried chicken + 2 vege - 4.30 in city area

If get fired GG ?

that is SGD 4.30

Sorry i mean SGD4

Why convert? Don't think u can get RM4.30 chapfan in KL with 1 meat

NUS canteen almost everything there less than 3SGD

its normal to take public transport to work, it's never normal to take public transport to date
what's more malaysian guys are a level lower in the eyes of a amoi sinki

Unless managed to find a malaysian girl working in sg then maybe, just maybe, it'd be ok. Lol

economy bihun and one sosej.. i think can get 1.50. but definitely not satisfying haha....

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).

Sgd$3k potential > myr$5k

Housing interest rate 1.6% - 2%..
One hdb sub rental can get $1k cover your installment and spare master bedroom for ur self...

Msian girl also materialistic but on cheaper level... Maybe a lv or Prada bag can settle.. Keke

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

hi bonchi, can  i ask, if u get married in sg, can u register the same in malaysia as well?

you only need/can have one marriage cert and it is recognized from most countries. just need to declare and submit a copy of that cert in malaysia.

you cant convert when you work in SG.

can you get RM4.30 with fried chicken and 2 vege in MY? Even RM5 in city area is almost impossible

Only for the first one or two years, average is 3%

yeah and it will cost about RM20.. and must be done within 6 months or will be charge a fine of RM150? im not too sure.. currently im also deciding between to ROM in SG or Malaysia before going down under ... i think it's much easier to just do it in malaysia as a msian.
