Default SGD 6400 pm is enuf or not

Hi,
Look at expenses
Rent 2000 pm
School fee 2000 pm (in International school, Even Singapore schools will charge at least 500 pm as you are a foreigner)
Tax 900 pm (15% is the tax rate)
Food, TV, elec, internet, mobile, etc
1500 pm
--------------------
This alone is SGD 6400 pm. What about some savings, movies, eating out, etc? I suggest you ask for at least SGD 9000 per month. Or come and live alone in Singapore with 4 other guys in a single room. Of course, all this will apply after you get EP which is doubtful these days at a salary of SGD 6400.
