"School fees are exorbitant for international schools. Rents range from $1500-4000/month, utilities depend on whether or not you require AirCon in 30 degree C/90% humidity. Car lease, another $1000."
Excuse me, of course rents start frm RM1500 and above if u live in KL centre, CyberJaya, or PutraJaya. Rents are lesser if u live in Putra Heights my place, a 1800 sqft hse at RM750/month, or probabbly 1000 in Puchong. Why does anyone want to live in KL if they have to commute 90 minutes by themself to work(with no transport allowence)
Car lease, yes expensive, but u still could get less than 1000 if u know where/what to find.
AirCon- yes u need it, but sometimes fan is sufficient (try to adapt)
there's a cheaper Int school in Subang, near old airport, cant remember the name yet, but was recommended by my colleague.
