Hi guys! This is what I am thinking about. I am from SG and I go JB to shop, makan, repair car etc once in a while.
I went today and at a plate of rice that cost me RM6 and a can of coke RM2. Total RM8. If I take exchange rate into consideration, RM8 is acutally quite cheap.
I don't really know about salary in JB. but I just feel that spending RM8 on a meal is not exactly cheap unless you are earning at least RM4-5K a month?
Btw, this is just a shop along the road side, not shopping center or restaurant.
So, I just think cost of living is actually quite high in JB. I feel its cheap because of the exchange rate.
