One bowl of kolo mee is RM5 now in Kuching

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

you will be surprised. KK cost of living quite high

Nice in terms of what? entertainment?

Wtf 18? Who the hell would pay for that

Doesn't matter where as long got fibre internet.

Can't really comment. Never stayed in KK before.

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.

Don't think you can get a job in Sarawak. Peninsula Malaysians need special work permits there

KK meal prices

Depends on which district you're thinking of staying. Best food and value for money would be Sibu. Avoid oil town like Miri or Bintulu.

McDonald's pic also very big

Let say u plan to live in kuching, what kind of living space will u choose, apartment? Double storey? Location wise, far from city center or as near as possible to city center?

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

His work is high risk though.

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.

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

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

Sarawak of course more richer in terms of resources and wealth just that they more laidback like Australia. More land and lesser people. Less crimes too. Life is easier. Closer to Australia also. Cheap beer and lower cost of living.
