check out this article

Sorry but I got a "bus on fire" article in that link you gave - sure you got the correct article? Hehe...

Are you saying that the living standard in KL is higher than Singapore?? How could it be, unless you are talking about hi-end stuff like branded items. Otherwise, restaurants and lifestyle outlets (spas, hair salons, etc) are all cheaper.

I beg to digress on the issue discussed.

The average wage in Sillypore for a fresh grad is around 2.7 to 3.5 in today's market. Whereas in Malaysia, its still around 2k Ringgit.

Transport is an issue and many will drive.

Dinner for 2 in a restaurant will still cost around 40 to 50 Ringgit on the average. Same as Singapore right? but the average wage is lower, inflation is higher in the country.

Standary of living alot lower than Singapore

Cost of living higher if we take in the local wages on local expenses.

Erm you lost me there - we are talking about a short holiday up north right?

At RM$40 to RM$50 for two in a restaurant (eg sushi king, Kenny Rogers, Denny's, etc), after currency conversion, its still cheaper than in Singapore for that same restaurant mah. And for roadside stalls and coffeeshops, their prices are much cheaper.

But if go there to work and get your salary in ringgit, then yes its not worth - my counterpart in Malaysia is getting paid lesser than me (in exact dollars, not even considering conversion) even though we are doing the same job!

I'm beginning to feel "fan gan" towards Swisstol....

How abt Batam View Beach Villa? Anyone been there?

Ah yes, speaking of Indonesia...you like clubbing?? How about a clubbing weekend trip to Bintan?

Check this out: http://www.silk-bintan.com/ - its located in Bintan Lagoon Resort

The other time I rounded up a group of 4 couples and we shared a villa with 4 rooms, a private pool and personal golf buggy, just to go to Club Silk. Total damage is about $120/pax/night for the villa and breakfast, not including clubbing expenses and ferry.

Think they got a special package for Singaporeans, S$99/pax/night including ferry, one night stay in standard room, one complimentary drink at Club Silk and breakfast. Two to go.
