Found this video on youtube. If you have extra Rm800 budget for upgrade, and probably can only stretch your budget to either one of the upgrade (Ram or SSD), pretty much ram make more sense if you are not the person copying large file in and out frequently. 16GB can sustain MBA performance in higher capacity when your RAM usage is higher and reduce the frequency of Swap being used. However, if you store more things in laptop you can opt for 512GB instead.

This is my first thought when I tried the MBP.

MacOS can definitely make use of more RAM. On the other hand, SSD speed is only important when you're doing extreme works like rendering videos, etc., or using Swap memory which won't happen if you have 16GB RAM. SSD space is really up to your personal use. But you can always expand by using external drives.

So if you only have enough money to upgrade one of it which in Malaysia is RM800, upgrade the RAM. Just save up and get a good external drive later.
