I have a wife and a kid and aspire to educate my麓daughter in an International School in Malaysia.

Plus we would like to live a decent life - Fully Furnished rented house ( 1000 sft to 1500 sft ) and a good car , in Malaysia

We would also like to eat out on the weekends and visit the neighbouring contries .

Please could you guide / advise what CTC ( Gross and Net ) is aceptable as compensation to live a good enough decent and above average life in Cyberjaya / Bangsar looking at my aspirations, experience and qualifications.

I have been made aware that I will have to contribute 11% to PF and 26% as tax .

Please advise urgently

Hi Sneh, a fully furnished house in Bangsar can be quite expensive. However, if you are earning at least RM15,000 a month, then I believe you can live quite comfortable with all the requirements you mentioned above. However, please do not get a place in cyberjaya as its a dead town with only IT companies there mostly. There is hardly any business shops or restaurants and you will have to come to KL if you wish to enjoy the kind of life you mentioned.
