Look at annual compensation. With the counter offer, you are getting 150-180k. SG offer is 78k SGD, which is less than 50% dollar to dollar. Normally people will move from MY to SG for 60-80% dollar to dollar.

You should do your own calculation to include employer EPF and LHDN tax compared to no CPF and lower IRAS tax. Include also rental cost and generally higher cost of living. The reason is because 5.8k sgd is quite low, your disposable income is gonna be quite little. If you are comparing 20k MYR vs 10k SGD, it would be a different story.
