M’sian who moved to Singapore says cost of living here is actually lower

A Malaysian would have to earn three times as much as a Singaporean to afford the same lifestyle, she reasoned.

They dun drink kopi? Our kopi can get as high as $2.50.

[Ernesto]

Short sighted and naive. $500 saving if have children also not enough. Wonder do they support their parents financially?
So if have children , no more savings and bank account will be empty become a burden later to our welfare system?
Are they malay family?If it is ,I m not mistaken someone told me they have free education all the way to University.

[Blasterlord2]

They got a grant of 90k from the govt for their hdb, of cos they have spare cash to use.

[moonrab]

Not high la..
If you don't drive and buy condo.
With our combined salary, it is a breeze to live in Singapore. 

Go hdb towns, you will see all uncles and aunties chatting in kopitiam..🤣

Only foreigners who cannot buy BTO HDB flat, no grants, no gst rebate, no income shield, govt subsidy for hospitalisation, school subsidy, etc..
They will pay a high cost. 

So for local Singaporean, you have a better living conditions.

Don't quote exceptions
 
It's $1.30 average. 

And do not compare absolutely dollar prices with ringgit prices.

Ever heard of purchasing power parity? Coffee is RM 2 in Melaka (only 56 centd here) but do you know what their wages are like?

Singapore cost of living lower if you don’t consider exchange rate
Based on the background of 10 years living in Singapore, it was a “surprise” to Ms Musha

There is no end to people with silly logic saying silly things.

Based on her logic MYR$2 coffer is more expensive than S$1.50 coffee.

It is total nonsense...a twisted logic.

If she live more comfortably because she makes more money in Singapore and her high income van overcome the high cost of living....ahe should describe it in this way.

Instead she use a twisted logic to say cost of living in Singaoore is lower than Malaysia.

Foreigners do get subsidies when they go to polyclinics. At the AnE they are charged the sane price as locals. I am not referring to PRs but those who are on Work Permit.

She is right. Earn Singdollars and spend here is more affordable than earning ringgit there and spending ringgit there.

Of course earning Singdollars here and spending ringgit there is even better.

That does not equate to cost of living in Sinagoore being lower than Malaysia.

It means you can make more money to overcome the higher cost of living in Singapore

[Wy:Nox]

They can grow their own vegetables and fruits which is free. Can this Malaysian make me anyway in Singapore that allows this?

 PAP gives her children free education? Why?

For example, if your salary is S$2,000 a month in Singapore and you want to spend S$200 on a bag, you can get brands such as Coach or Braun Buffel, she noted.

“If you don’t convert SGD to RM, you can easily afford the international brands with your income,” she wrote.

She compares imported items. These are not basic necessities.

[Blasterlord2]

JHK also entitled?

Dun think so. But she married a sinkie so they're entitled I guess.

[Oyk]

They can only grow one or two types
 Don't tell me they eat chye sim or kangkong every meal?  Cannot be.  They still have to go to the market to buy other kinds of vegetables.

[sgbuffett]

She's talking about purchasing power parity.

PPP refers to something else.

She is talking about  cost of living to income ratio.

Because Singapore income  4x Malaysa outside KL and double KL....it helps to make things affordable for working people with high salaries
