I think Malaysian feel more suffer, please look at below example:
Salary range
Count in an average salary range.
Malaysia = fresh graduate is RM2500 per month.
Singapore = fresh graduate is SGD2500 per month.
Conclusion is both are same.
**Please remember that, you earn at your country, you spend at your country.
Scenario 1
Both wanted to buy a phone, a Samsung Galaxy S3 for an example.
Malaysia price = RM2199
Singapore price = SGD1098
Conclusion, Malaysian fresh graduate almost used up his or her salary just to buy a phone but Singapore fresh graduate just used up half of his or her salary.
Scenario 2
We compare food (just a economy rice) same dishes (chicken, egg, and vegetable) and both are in town. Not high class food here, at normal place.
Malaysia cost you around RM6 or RM7
Singapore cost you around SGD2 or SGD 3.
Conclusion Malaysian spent more in daily meal.
Scenario 3
Public transport
Malaysia - In Malaysia, our public transport is totally suck or low coverage that you must drive a car or bike to work. Eg, fresh graduate must buy a car or bike in order to go work.
Singapore- In Singapore, the public transport is much much better and efficiency than Malaysia. At least the coverage is huge. Without a car, you still able to work by take a short distance to the station by walking. Eg, fresh graduate can save more money by taking public transport to work.
Conclusion, a fresh graduate need to suffer a lot of expenses just came out to work in Malaysia.
But, i understand that.... each country have their own difficulties. Life still go on, be positive. Gambateh my friends.
