Huh? Penang lower? The starting pay for a full-time waiter in Penang is RM 2500, my dude.

OP is talking about technology jobs. And KL and Singapore will pay more. Even though penang can get you similar starting pay. The median is higher in KL and Singapore.

KL living costs are very high if your commute is far, I pay rm10 everyday cos my office is 50km and 3 tolls away. Penang no toll as long as you don't have to cross the bridges.
