Must put in median salary then can compare.

But I agree, cost of living is high for Malaysian locals.

its a matter of the purchasing power of your money, everywhere the same.... received SGD spend in MY VS received RM spend in MY mah.

Mee rebus for breakfast at a nearby coffee shop

RM7

SGD3???????

 

[commie_rick]

Most people dont drink Starbucks and mid range dining that often.
Besides big brands like levis , iphone has the same pricing regardless which country .

Take a look at the price tags of Zara and Uniqlo. Prices of several countries are printed in local currencies.

BM gone can buy another one

Dumb comparison.. live like the locals and enjoy local life, eat local drink local, spend local, with 1:3 you'll be comfortable.. dun compare atas food n living, everywhere will be ex... N not only money hor, its the pace n way of life that matters more...

 

[Kum Jit Pow]

cannot compare 1:3 leh. must compare earn MYR spend MYR vs earn SGD spend SGD. Just like how we compare with Australia. Australia is definitely cheaper than Singapore and Malaysia.
