Is  that 3000 per week or month???  i just read this page   http://www.scribd.com/doc/2370468/AIESEC-Malaysia-Reception-Package     this will give you an idea of a few things.  Personally, I think you  should go job shopping first before you commit leave the country; and  according to what I read on the link I think you should ask for a little  bit more.  I know your young and this might be your first career mark  .Just make sure if they want you to sign a contract committing you to  this job for some time you tell them that you will after a month or 2 of  working there.  for 2 reasons, the company may suck (meaning miserable  atmosphere) and you should make sure that they are paying you a  competitive wage by job shopping elsewhere when you arrive.... (just  dont let them know).  Who knows maybe a different company is willing to  pay you more to work for them...  and maybe your profession is  highly  in demand that's why you got the job offer fresh out of school.  Just  dont be afraid to negotiate and ask for more money; All they can say is  "NO"....hey, i hope this helps.  JJ

Possible if you not  lavish lifestyle and dont have to fork out big sum on accommdation and  transport. Ask for more RM if you can, would help somewhat.

Make  sure you are employable. Lots of unemployable graduates in Malaysia.   If you do not go main-main in the evening, RM3K/month  is OK, but  Computer Engineer ? Wow ! you should be able to get at least 5K, and not  be living alone long...

3k kinda low.. but if living alone then i guess it OKAY

i  think it's enough, for fresh grad like you can earn RM3000 consider ok.  Many people work for many years the salary haven't reached RM3000.  rent a house I think around RM700 if not in city center, then transport  maybe RM300, food RM300, others RM500. you still got RM1200 to send back  home.

living alone,small apartment,small car or public transport..its will be fine..
