Hello Akshat ,

Below are my inputs on your questions regarding your Job offer.

1. As you are a SAP professional, so i would say your package is underpaying, you can easily get over 10k MYR PM.

2. For cost of living you can take it as below.
-House rent - 2000-2500 (If in city )
-Home groceries - 1000 MYR
-Internet -150 PM
-Astro Tv -100(Not sure but yes approx amount )
-Utility - 70-130 MYR ( As you are two only).

3. Although you will find it a little different and not so good but you can easily adopt it.
4. No idea about SAP consultancy.
5 . As such no difficulty in coming back India , rest is depend on your consultancy some small consultancy dont give clearances and all. About threat, yes there are few places where peoples dont dare to go in night time
6. As you are in SAP , as per me SAP and Java professional can easily get jobs in Malaysia

The above details I furnish based on my analysis on market .

Thanks
