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?

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.

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

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?
