COL is plus 30%.It I'd a liveable wage but not outstanding. Depends on career prospects lost in your home country.

Hi as always depends. I meet Indian IT guys who work 20 hours聽 a day 7 days a week - do lots of freelancing - so they make money. But on 7k you can save if you work 140 hours a week (many Malaysian employers work you like that!) as you will slowly starve through finding time to eat. But if jobless and need a job - ANY job looks good. If you have a well paid job then I would say no. If you are antisocial and want freelance work on the side then maybe.
