it depends on how long you're staying. If you are looking for service apartment, it will cost you around RM600 per day. Hotels can cost you less depending on type of room. To be at the centre of happening night life, you can stay at Concorde KL, where the Hard Rock Cafe is just downstairs, and just few minutes walk to other hottest club in town. Mandarin Oriental, located next to KLCC could be fun as well. Dorsett Regency in Bukit Bintang, uhh..a lot of place to stay.
2 :
Anywhere.... you are going to be in Malaysia. Its the best country to live in.
3 :
Rent an Apartment at Damansara because it's really relaxing there compare to other place in KL
4 :
Once you have settled in a place, you will find another best place... so, start with Cyber Jaya-it's modern...
5 :
If your friend is from overseas, the most convenience condo area you can find is in Mont Kiara. No doubt it's quite expensive from (2,000rm) for a fully furnished studio apartment to (4,000rm) for a 3 room condo, but all the amenities which you need are all there. Most of the expatriates are living in that area and the securities are quite strict. You can check out with realty agents..
6 :
considering the traffic condition in KL, I would recommend somewhere most convenient to where you would be travelling to daily. Brickfields would be ideal considering it has all the public transport needed... the condo near KL central not sure of the name

Is RM4000 / month enough to live in Malaysia

Is RM4000 / month enough to live in Malaysia?
Hi, I am a software developer with 2 years and 10 months experience from the Philippines and I was offered a job in a company in Malaysia for RM4000/month. I haven't lived in Malaysia yet so I'm basically just guessing to what the cost of living there is. So my question is, would RM4,000/month be enough to live there? considering I have to pay rent etc. Thanks in advance!

of course.unless you really want to live a luxury life then it might not be really enough.or else you can still go shopping.
2 :
It is an OK amount. You'll get by if you don't choose to live in luxury. Try to get the best deals in renting a room or soemthing. (Which part of Malaysia will you be working in?). And if you eat at the local coffee stalls instead of restaurants everyday, you'll still be able to save some money
3 :
I assume you are going to work in Kuala Lumpur. If so, RM4000 would be just ok. Firstly , they're gonna deduct your salary for tax. If i'm not mistaken, it was 15%. I believe it is still the same but you should confirm that. Then they are also going to deduct further for your EPF (perhaps about 9 or 11%, again, better check.). However, EPF, you can get it back if you're leaving. That would leave you say... roughly 3k to 3.2k net. It's not really much but if you're only renting a room near enough to walk, and say spend about RM10-15 per day for meals, you would have some balance to spend on weekends and sending back some. RM4,000 is quite high for a developer with 3 years experience (higher than locals) but then again, you might want to factor in your extra expenses here like return air ticket, food, travel, entertainment (watching movies in KL isn't cheap, it cost about RM10-12). 4K is a ok decent deal (if you consider work experience, and outstation experience, which would fetch you better salary in the future) but not a fantastic deal. Now, if you're working in Penang, that's a different story, as cost of living there is lower than KL. Then RM4k would be a pretty good deal.
4 :
Not enuff.. Average pay for malaysian is 8000 a month..
5 :
More than enough.
6 :
RM 4000 a month is sufficient if your single . If you have a dependent then it would be tough . Assuming you like in KL figure RM 20 a day on meals and RM 300 for rent .
7 :
Yes, it is !!! Unless of course, if you are a night-clubber and the like. You are not a manager and I know of managers earning less than you would be getting and they are all Malaysians!!!!! By the way, they are in Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Ipoh, Johore and elsewhere....count yourself lucky with only 2 years and 10 months of work experience!!!
8 :
More than enough....unless your planning on renting a mansion. Food and bills won't go above RM 600- only if you're a heavy eater. Good luck

Title: Affiliate marketing, a business with no hassle For many people, the lure of working from home is too strong to resists. Being able to set up your own hours, your own schedule and your own your speed is an extremely attractive way of living to most people. But the thought of setting up your own web-based business can be a huge hassle. You have to have a web design, a product and then you have to sell it, ship it and handle customers. A much easier way to work from home and run a web-based business is called affiliate marketing. Setting up a site that works as an affiliate marketing site isnâ€™t really that hard. There are many different web-page building programs out there that walk you through every step of the process. Once you have a functional web site, you need to come up with a list of companies that will pay you to link to them. Many major websites like Amazon have an affiliate program that you can join and then get paid for simply linking to their website. But if you really want to cash in, you donâ€™t want a webpage with just a list of links on it. This may earn you a buck or two, but when most web surfers stumble upon these kinds of pages after a Google search, they tend to get frustrated and leave. The best route for you to go is to provide interesting web content that relates to the company youâ€™re linking to. If you canâ€™t write interesting web content yourself, there are many companies that will do it for you for a very reasonable price. Once youâ€™ve got your content, you can weave your links throughout it. People will find your web page on search engines like Google, Yahoo and Ask.com and when they see the well-written content, they will hang around and read whatâ€™s on your site. They will, in most cases, click on the links provided and youâ€™ll be counting the cash in no time flat. While there is no guarantee that affiliate marketing will turn into a cash cow, with enough hard work, the odds are in your favor. When you combine a cool site design with quality content and a good mix of interesting links, you are bound to get a good number of hits that will quickly translate into dollars for you. Give it a try, you might be surprised at how well it works! A few GREAT places to get started- http://www.w57.net/affialiatemarks.html http://morenichee.w57.net The first site goings to hook you up with a excellent book on the subject, and the second is the BEST affialiate I have yet to find. I can make commissions of up to 200$ per sale with them. (albeit on questionable products sometimes) Its free, and def worth a look. I'm living of Morenichee (and a few other affialiates for around 7 months now.

what have you learned all your life? is your brain not working because you work for 14 years? asking that kind of question is the sign of laziness.
