Living cost in KL is too much. Unbearable and everyone is just money minded. No money no anything.

Cost of living is very high, comparable to cities like Melbourne or Canberra. I would like to seek another place to migrate and stay, with much lower cost of living

Is East Malaysia good? I heard cities like Kuching or KK are as advanced as Penang and JB. So I guess it's good. Plus, I met many east Malaysian. They are friendly, nice, kind and very helpful. Not materialistic at all.

How's the cost of living?

Only can say for kuching

Food there is reasonable and affordable. Rm3 can get you a big pack of nasi lemak which is very filling. If I'm not mistaken it's a e-mart there

Kolo mee 4-5 ringgit only. Raw materials for cooking food also cheap

Rentals there also relatively cheap

Overall is a nice place to stay, people there are friendly. No racing racing.

Downside, not much entertainment. Pretty chill and quiet kind of life

KK here.. advance city? hahahahaahhaha... I'm crying with tears.
It feels more of a big town than a city here as you can cover the whole KK "city" on foot within a day, and the cost of living is definitely no difference than KL..

Food is expensive, rent is expensive, electronics are hard to find unless its a major brand, public transport are almost non existence (thankfully grab/maxim exist), pilaks everywhere, parking almost always unavailable, some shops starts not selling alcoholic drinks, after 7pm almost nothing to do here.. and many more to complaints.

long story short, you stay KL and dun come here.
