Hi Pramodrdd,

It will depend on your lifestyle and consumption habits. Read the threads under the Cost of living in Kuala Lumpur and find what approximately suit your situation.

Otherwise, you may also do some calculations based on figures provided by numbeo : https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/in/Kuala-Lumpur

All the best,
Bhavna

Yes it is enough. Actually you can save as well. As Bhavna says, it depends on your lifestyle, and of course how much rent you pay, but apartments can easily be found that are not that expensive so you can definitely survive fine.
