Is that 3000 per week or month??? i just read this page http://www.scribd.com/doc/2370468/AIESEC-Malaysia-Reception-Package this will give you an idea of a few things. Personally, I think you should go job shopping first before you commit leave the country; and according to what I read on the link I think you should ask for a little bit more. I know your young and this might be your first career mark .Just make sure if they want you to sign a contract committing you to this job for some time you tell them that you will after a month or 2 of working there. for 2 reasons, the company may suck (meaning miserable atmosphere) and you should make sure that they are paying you a competitive wage by job shopping elsewhere when you arrive.... (just dont let them know). Who knows maybe a different company is willing to pay you more to work for them... and maybe your profession is highly in demand that's why you got the job offer fresh out of school. Just dont be afraid to negotiate and ask for more money; All they can say is "NO"....hey, i hope this helps. JJ

Possible if you not lavish lifestyle and dont have to fork out big sum on accommdation and transport. Ask for more RM if you can, would help somewhat.

Make sure you are employable. Lots of unemployable graduates in Malaysia. If you do not go main-main in the evening, RM3K/month is OK, but Computer Engineer ? Wow ! you should be able to get at least 5K, and not be living alone long...

3k kinda low.. but if living alone then i guess it OKAY

i think it's enough, for fresh grad like you can earn RM3000 consider ok. Many people work for many years the salary haven't reached RM3000. rent a house I think around RM700 if not in city center, then transport maybe RM300, food RM300, others RM500. you still got RM1200 to send back home.

living alone,small apartment,small car or public transport..its will be fine..
