So many things to take into consideration. Currently every Singaporean dollar is worth 2.3 Malaysian ringgit. So taking the job in S'pore would be better but that is only one part of the quation. You also need to take into consideration how much taxes you will have to pay, what it will cost to have a roof over your head (whether you rent or buy your future home), to put food in your stomach. So take a piece of paper or use your computer and figure out how much it would cost to live in each country. Include everything that will have you spending money on something. For example (and I'm just guessing on the figure here), in Singapore, you may spend 900 on rent, 100 on transportation, 250 on food/groceries, 75 on entertainment. In Malaysia, you may spend 700, 150, 200, and 50 respectively. In my simple example, purely looking at money, Malaysia would be the better choice. But you also need to take into consideration whether you prefer living in Malaysia or Singapore, where your friends and family are, where you like the food better and even the pace of life. Don't base your decision purely on a monetary one. And make sure that which ever job you take you take for yourself as a means of advancing yourself, your mind, your heart and your soul. Good luck!
