Hi what a big question with so little info! Some things to consider
OK in general many would argue Singapore schools are better (I have no idea if this is true). Certainly some think this. However I know expats that prefer KL schools to most other Asian countries international schools
There are longish waiting lists for schools in KL so finding a place is not so easy
There is an Indian expat school in Brickfields where you may end up living
Where will you live?
Will you have a car?
Costs? are these met by employer?
Effect on children of a move? older one is especially difficult educationally. Primary child will miss friends.
Flights to Singapore are cheap - I used to work with lots of Singaporeans who commuted and went home weekends!

ELC is known as a good school. One of my sons went there. The community of Valencia is a gated and guarded community that is about a 2 minute drive from ELC. It has a golf course and all of the other amenities. It is a low density living area with easy access to the major roads. It consists of houses only and does not have any high rise buildings at all. I have a home up for rent in Valencia which has 4 bedrooms all with their own bathrooms. Each bathroom has its own shower. The house is very close to the pool and clubhouse. I am not a real estate agent. My wife and I own the house.
It has been our experience that expats who first move to KL often go to high rise condo areas. After some time, when they have experience with living in KL, they look for places like Valencia. Of course it really depends on what you like.
