I believe the OP's point was that our neighbours can earn 3x the equivalent salary in RM to live comfortably in their country. The average salary for fresh grads is around 2.8k RM for them. If they can earn 3.5x of $4.1k in Singapore, 16.7k RM (1.17x 3.5x), they could afford a lot things there. For us, it’s a 1:1 exchange rate, our purchasing power is limited in comparison.
With the higher salary, our neighbours are more willing to put in effort.
