Hi Prasun,

The offer is look good.

Final acceptance is depend on you,,

Thing need to consider,, accomodation for one bed room fully furnish condo is range from RM1.8K to RM2.5K, depending on area.

On tax,, 26% is the maximum tax deduction,,based on taxable net income,,not from your gross salary. if you have more kid ,,more deduction,,

Besides local indian,,there is a lot expat indian living,,here,,a lot of indian food available here.

Hi Prasun,

The average monthly deduction for your tax post 6 months should be around MYR1200.00 (depending on other taxable allowances this value may increase/decrease).

You should have a net income of at least MYR7300.00 after all deductions.

A good move from career and pay perspective.

Hi Prasun,

9000RM even after taxes deduction is a good salary here.

For the accomodation I advise you to have a look on these two website : propwall and iproperty. They are specialised for malaysian market and on iproperty you can get a search by area, price, number of room,... It could gets you a good idea about what you could find and for what price.
