Hello,
The cost of living in Ipoh is very low to compare with city like Kuala Lumpur. With 11k monthly you are actually one of the richest man in the small town of Tronoh! 
Cost for house rental for 3 bed double story house is only -+600. No major traffic jam! No Toll! It saves your fuel and toll. Food is very cheap as well!

11k + 2 school kid places is about right. In KL lectureres can pull in 20k a month (local with foreign PhD - in something serious). School places are valuable! Obviously if it is something unacademic like "media studies" it's much much lower
