How to make the most of your intern allowance in KL

by Naemah Nordin·October 10, 2025

Budget breakdown: RM1,500/month. Rent shared room: RM550. Food: RM400. Transport: RM150. Internet: RM50. Misc: RM100. Savings: RM250. Tight but doable if you meal prep and avoid malls.

Meal prep for the work week on Sunday changed my monthly budget significantly. Great money skill for interns.

Shared accommodation in Cheras or Kepong is how most interns actually survive RM1,500 in KL. Location is key.
