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?

if u think cost of living in KL is high...thn DO NOT
i repeat DO NOT come to sabah

sabah's cost of living is even higher than KL
basically overtook KL already

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

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

+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

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.

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? rclxub.gif

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 rclxub.gif

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