I hope to stay in city centre (or furthest would be 30km away). Rm2000 and below rental would be nice.

I would wish to have access to amenities and grocery

How high is Sabah? Mind sharing?

His work is high risk though.

Kl is small place compare to kk and Sarawak...

I choose kl all the time . Kl da best!!!

Dun need talk so much.
East Malaysia is like a republic. No visa no stay. Unless you marry local.
I once heard of a guy working in Bintulu 20yrs. The day he retired he had 3 months tourist visa to leave sarawak.

Quality, choice of food, entertainment, better mall---> kk
Security, cheaper cost of living, cleaner town---> kuching

Dun bother with other towns, you'll be bored till your mother doesnt recognize you.
My choice would be kk.

Maybe, I do not ask a lot. But like seriously, how the heck are these people salary so fucking high? Got one friend, his job is some sort of offshore engineer. Rm30k in his early 30s. How is that possible?

Working for Google also not so high

not as much food choices
and whatever the same food sold in KL, u add a few more RM...that's the price in sabah

it's very hard to find anything below RM10 here in sabah
and it's certainly harder to find promo compared to KL where promos are everywhere

Quality of life, which city better? Which city is more 'global'?

Offshore workers has a higher rate of divorce and most of the time you spend 2/3 of the year away from family.

Safety workers are responsible for the life of hundreds if not thousands of staffs u fuck up once u think other company will take u in?

What did you heard?
To be honest, it's a big town only not city level and you can count the amount of shopping mall here without using all your finger.
Sure got alot of Mainlanders coming here for vacation but that was before covid, clubs are mostly private or out of the town, city partying is just meh with the bar here but it's cool if you want a relaxing drink. I rather buy a few cans and sit near the likas beach or enjoy at bukit bendera there. after that touge and go home.
Unless you're staying at resorts that has night activity the town/city itself is dead after 9pm.. other than 24hrs shop good luck finding other activity than getting mugged.
Seafood not that cheap also but at least cheaper abit than KL la since the sea is just next to the city. Condo? I'll say fancy apartment got la at that price range.. it's small but if you bachelor is good enough.
Pilaks are what we call those alien immigrant, the bad one.. some of them got IC but I doubt the authenticity, even if got legit chip I doubt it's by legal means they get it.


I don't mean to talk shit about my hometown but there's really not much to do here in KK, I'm too old for getting wild ride already.

Security in kk ok?

As long you don't pick fight with the locals there then don't worry, you wont get stabbed in public. lol.
but still I'm serious. lol

i am from kuching. kuching and sibu cost of living is very cheap but oil and gas towns like bintulu where i am currently at and miri is crazily expensive.

30km away is a big no, even less than 20km away u have to face almost 2 hour traffic jam unless u use motobike to work. Maybe surfing mudah can give u a rough idea of rental at kuching

Kk rent a condo also rm2700, daily meal no 40 also hard. Cikit already rm10.50

+100

i quit my job because of this very reason
it's very tiring, all u want to do when u arrive at work is just sleep
long term, you'll develop sleep deprivation

kk is much more expensive than kuching. kk is also more happening and have more things to do than kuching. kuching is very laidback and nothing much to do.

Why always heard kl ppl come kk always kena belas one? Lol

What kk condo rental rm2700?

Sarawak cheaper than Sabah that's for sure. More laidback and nicer environment.
