It's low because RM is weak.

If earn RM you don't feel it is low.

But it is low if compare to other countries in exchange rate terms.

Cost of living is a function of % of expenses you pay vs your income. If your income is low, your cost of living will be high. Say you spend $3 to buy chicken rice in SG and you make SGD3K, that's 0.1% of your income spent on 1 chicken rice. But in Malaysia, say you pay RM8 for the same chicken rice and your income is MYR5K, that chicken rice is 0.16% of your income and thus cost of living in Malaysia is technically higher than Singapore.

Overall, unless you want to own a car or properties in SG, cost of living in SG is not as high as M'sia (at least on food and other sundries).

Cost of living and doing business is very high in Singapore. In fact I know of mnc are now comparing if its really worth having a hv in Singapore. They are considering Spain and Portugal. Of course it won't happen over night. Maybe in 5 to 10 years.

Btw TS ...HWZ is -----> way

if you manage to find such jobs

bear in mind SG employers could just hire from cheaper countries, and they can lowball you kao kao, pay you in RM only
