@antiteck No thanks. Not going to comment on the whether 10k MYR vs 5.5k SGD's practical value which most other comments have covered - but think about this:
In Malaysia, earning 10k makes you at least a senior to assistant manager level of employee (or even manager, depending on your company). In SG, fresh grads already earn 3-4k SGD. 5.5k is really a mid-level at best. I would want to be considered the same job level (or higher) when I make a job movement.
I am not going to short change myself to take a mid-level job and not having a significant enough increase in salary to justify:

I am not going to short change myself to take a mid-level job and not having a significant enough increase in salary to justify:
- hassle of relocating
- getting used to a new working culture
- more fast paced and arguably more kiasu environment
- away from family (travel cost back to home is also another thing)
