My experience working in Iskandar Malaysia, Johor

by Hafian Zulkifly·December 1, 2025

JB pay still 15-25% below KL but cost of living is lower. SG proximity means you can sometimes negotiate SG-pegged rates.

Iskandar area companies sometimes match KL salaries to attract talent. Worth negotiating up from the JB baseline.

Singapore proximity works both ways. Some people commute from JB to SG. The savings on rent are significant.
