I am from India ( Hyderabad).My husband is a senior test engineer ( Having 5 Years experience in Testing) .He got job offer from his current company in india ( satyam ).They are sending him to Kaulalmpur ( Cyberjaya) for 1 Year Project.

I have some few questions.

We r family of three .Me & hubby with one year old baby.

He got offer of 8000RM.聽 pls let me know the Tax deduction on this.i have read in net as initial 28% tax for foreigners??? is that true? after 6 months what is the Tax rate for 8000 Ringgits salary?

i have gone through the flats rates in cyberjaya? that is 1500-1800 Rm furnished flats.....so nearly 3000 RM will go for total Expenses( incl grocery ,houserent, etc ....).

In india we are getting 65000 INR is a takehome Salary..here our expences is 20000 INR..here we are saving 45000 INR per month.....

According to ur suggestion we can accept the malaysia offer we have one week time...Pls reply ASAP.....

I am interested to settle in Malaysia.........from india we are not getting direct job offers from malaysia .....so聽 we will come to malysia through satyam company after 1 year we can search the job in malaysia we can shift from satyam company . my husband can get job easily in malaysia.....Is that possible in malysia? is there any legal rules for changing company? pls let me know?

waiting for ur reply........Thanks in advance

Hi Swathi,

I think legally there will be no issues in shifting a company,聽 Ur hubby needs to check if the contract with his currently employer allows him to change jobs and there is no bond or any other clauses that will stop him from moving.

Regarding 3000RM for surviving I Believe u can surely Manage. Another suggestion is to take a unfurnished apartment and u will save about 700 RM everyone month and u can buy just what is required for the house.

Hi Saraswathi..

I'm not sure about how much deduction for the tax but if you're telling that your husband will get RM 8000/month, that's a pretty good offer.
and I agree with Bharatsamant...try to find unfurnished apartment or try to get a house outside Cyberjaya like Serdang/Sri kembangan/Kajang.

Hello Saraswathi,

From whatever I know, 8K is a decent salary. If you are careful on the housing part (which is going to take a large portion of the sal) it should be OK. If you have to put the kid (may be next year) in a pre-school or playhome, things might get a bit tight, so got to save from day 1

All the best.

Hi!
I am from Hyderabad too. When I came to KL after marriage, my husband was earning 8k as well and it quite sufficient. Malaysia is a great place to be. Dont just look at the financial aspect. The exposure and experience will be invaluable.

hi all, there seem to b some common questions here. let me see if i can help.

8-10k is good in malaysia if u r married and no school going kids. for 10k salary, u can expect about 1500 to b cut for tax. there r very few ways to avoid tax in malaysia.

in terms of monthly expenses, i would suggest setting aside 2000 for accomodation. 1000 for groceries. 600-700 for a normal local malaysian hatchback car. 400 for electricity, water and internet. add 1000 for other misc expenses. basically about 5000 myr. so u should save the rest after taxes.

bear in mind that if u live an absolutely simple life, u can drop ur expenses to even 4k.

single guys can save more on accom as there are many single men in kl who are willing to share condos.

malaysia is a great place to live. a lot less polluted and crowded than india. and its a good experience. enjoy yourselves.

Sorry buddy.. Not to discourage you but the fact is that with the kind of job experience that you have mentioned, it will be very very hard for you to find a job here. You need a special skill set to be able to win the job over from the locals.
Or best option is to get a job arranged thru your friends or relatives who might be living here already.
Cheers..!

I have a situation

Actually started working in KL from Jul 1st 2013 and I see by Dec 31 it comes to 184 days. So I understand I will be a Tax Resident for this year and can avail the refund.

But the problem is聽 I will be going back to India permanently by Jan 2014. My question - can I still file 'returns' and get back my money even I am no more in Malaysia?

Also between this period if I travel to India less than 14 days ,
will that be counted and comes to 184 days ?

Just my two cents here.. While we were in Chennai, my wife was working for TCS.. Singapore and Malaysia works were being channelized to them for reasons I am not aware of..Things may be different now, but checking with Satyam is a better idea..!

Dear Carlyle

You are doing a great job. Would be great if you could help me:

1) I am from India. I have got an offer of total 16,000 MYR (including housing)- no car allowance....wanted to understand聽 that is the salary good for a middle management position in Corporate Finance/ investment banking in KL or I am being valued less? I have 6 years exp in M&A and investment banking.

I am married- my wife is a home maker and child is 3 months old- would prefer a 2 bedroom condo in Mt.Kiara and will require a car to travel.

2) Child education is atleast 2-3 years away聽 but should I negotiate any education allowance with the Company?

3) I am being offered a 2 year contract role as an expat and after that be considered for a permanent role- is it a norm for expats ( contract)?- please suggest

4) How much does it cost to hire a car for a year?

Would be great if you could or any formu members could reply little early on this as I need to have some figures to negotiate next week.
