I am from Bangalore-India. I'm an embedded systems Engineer ( Having 9 Years experience) .I got job offer from an Indian MNC operating in Malaysia.My job location is Penang (Bayan Lepas Free Industrial Zone,Bayan Lepas)
I have some questions.
I'm a family of 2.Me & my spouse.
I got an offer of 11K. Please let me know if this is average salary for 9 years experience for embedded system Engineer.I am getting 75k in india.
please let me know the Tax deduction on my salary.i have seen in web that tax is 26% for foreigners? is that true?my employer said,no PF or social security or EPF deduction on my salary. Is it really true, that companies can ignore to deduct for PF and Social security for expats?
I am looking for apartment near Bayan Lepas,can any one suggest what is good location for indian expats.
I am looking for condos/apartments for rent around 800-1300RM.Please suggest a good location.
How about public transportation facilities in penang?can office goers rely on it? Is rental bike available on monthly basis?
After seeing some expat forums,I came to split up of monthly expenses as
Rent : 1000 - 1200 RM
Utilities : 450 RM (water,EB,internet)
Groceries : 500RM (only vegetarian)
public transportation : 300 RM
