Which cheong scene better? KK or Kuching?

Oh that one KK may be better since lots more illegals and crimes over there.

Kuching more suited for peaceful family life and friendlier people.

Sarawak mostly if look at the high building from far looks very clear most days unlike KL where the KLCC always blurry or hazy when look from far.

The climate and air in Kuching is quite nice compared to many Malaysian cities. Clean and not too hot where it is located at the southern end of Sarawak state.

Closer to Indonesia's upcoming new capital city Nusantara too

raised in both kk and kch,
to me kuching is cheaper than KK for your question,
whichever better, neither..its depend on your preference,
and also depend on who you ask

Are you generalizing KK with Sabah? AFAIK smaller cities like Sandakan and Tawau is still quite cheap though. Seafoods are pretty much 3 times cheaper than KL. You can get Grouper for less than Rm50 a Kg easily.

Currently residing in Sarawak...moved back from KL some years back.
Yes the living expenses here are cheap.
Rented a couple of rooms here and there before. Had a middle room that's rm550 inclusive of electric and water bills.
Rented another small room in another city with no aircon RM300.

Food expense = RM700 max
Eat out = rm500
Entertainment = rm200

Like sure the expenses here are like dirt cheap. But don't forget the salaries are soviet rates too unless you are working in banks or some bigger companies. You may have to come back and work Saturdays too.

sandakan and tawau is far from kk
and it's not like a lot cheaper...food is still like RM8 or so(and up)
and bro, who eat seafood everyday because it's cheaper than KL?

do u know how cheap food are outside of sabah?
same EM, u go kch..u can eat kolo mee for RM4, u can't get anything in sabah for RM4
go penang...RM6 basically can fill up your stomach....my friend ordered spagetti cabonara salmon RM8

once u step out of sabah, you'll know how expensive sabah's food are

I heard Soviet salary are comparable to kl. Not to mention offshore, but normal salary is about 8k-9k for early 30s

No unless you work for the MNCs like O&G in Miri.
Miri FYI is not cheap though because of its close proximity to Brunei which has high buying power and crossover.

If you work for local companies, the pay rate is just like most other 2nd tier cities in West Malaysia like Ipoh, Seremban or Kuantan. Very low rates because of cheaper standard of living here.

O&G only 8-9k? Dude, how the heck two of my friends earning 30-40k in offshore still had me shock. No one earning lower than 10k in offshore.

Dimsum in bintulu cost rm6-7 per small basket
Miri only rm3.50-rm4

Housing n rental in Bintulu the most expensive in Swak

Nice to eat?

best if can find sarawakian gf like this

Please dont come here.... Just stay in kv.....

Nice if u know which dishes are sedap at that shop.
But never try in Bintulu since 2019 bcos it was overpriced

Some place RM3.50 only

More like one plate lol

Keyword is offshore. RM10k you work offshore where are you gonna spend it on?

But yeah like the other guy was saying if you don't work in big companies here your salary will be soviet rates. Moved back to SWK my salary was rm1500 to rm2000 range. No kidding even after having 3yrs work exp at that point of time.

The only companies that pay beyond rm3000? Banks, MNCs, etc.

Went for quite a number of interviews with non-bank and non-MNCs in the last 4 to 6mths. The salaries they all offered rm1200 to rm1600. Even if you have 10yrs exp. That's the reality of job offers here.

lol...I lived in KK 4 years, grew up in KL (Damansara area), I can tell u for sure KK more exp
