It's cheapest to live in KL!
I don't know how to inteprete this, but we are away from the crowd...?
Net hourly pay. Quite low for us?
Wage level for we Malaysians seem moderate low. Purchasing power is above average due to cheap goods and services.
33 minutes for a big Mac. How about McCrispy? I dont take beef.
Engineers are paid almost the same for KL folks as to counterparts in Bangkok, Mexico, Moscow, Bogota, Caracas, Prague, and Lima. 50% higher than engineers in Beijing and Shanghai and 100% higher than in the Indian capital. Think about it again? Anyway I still wish to work in Luxembourg! hehe
Summary for KL: cheapest to live, moderate wage and purchasing power. Nothing to be so proud about except getting to savour a plate of delicious chicken rice with USD1.
