Malaysia is wonderful place to live and fly but unfortunately with this kind of salary, you'd only enjoy the place but wont be able to save much, if any in your case

doing the math:

12000RM per month - 27% tax = 8760RM + (80 hours X 195) = 24360RM / 3.505 = 6950USD, lets say 7000USD

Minus

Rental in Subang Jaya, USJ or Shah Alam (the nearest decent locations i could remember) 1000-1500USD including utilities

Petrol/Toll to/from KLIA about 300USD a month

Cars (expensive to buy unless you chose Proton), costs you about 15000USD for a Wira

Food very cheap and very good

Booze expensive unless you stay in Langkawi or Tioman

Overall, you should consider: Do you want the money or the experience, if you want money then its not worth it; NAS, QR, EY offer much better (double) package, if you are after experience, then you'll definitely enjoy it
