As was noted, depends if you are local or an expat. If you can land a job in the US that will re-locate you there, but maintain your US salary you will do even better. I have an engineer that spends about 11 months of the year in Malaysia and I still pay him a US salary, a bit over $100k USD a year, and he lives VERY well there, nice house, maids, and even has enough left over to drive an S class merc(hmmmm have to rethink his raise this year lol)
With the right pieces of paper an expat can make a great salary there, a competent expat can make even more. The malay people are great workers and great at following directions, but for some reason I've found that while they may have a degree they don't know their field very well. I taught a class on basic electronics at our plant(I was over there and got suckered into it) and was appalled that 4 of the people in the class supposedly had BSEE and didn't even know basic ohms law, smoke came out of their ears with simple op-amp theory, and I won't even get into the look on their faces when I got into basic RF theory.
It also depends on what level of management, and what field. Are you talking about managing a semiconductor assy line, an oil rig plant or a dept store?
I'd expect an MBA AND a degree for whatever company you intend on working for. I hold an MSCS, BSEE and MBA and am an IT manager for a major semiconductor company, although I started life as a test engineer. I specialize in the test end of things, data storage/manipulation, building and maintaining HA clusters, networking testers, that sort of thing. I was offered close to my salary to work at a competitor's plant in Malaysia and had they offered a real compensation package, I might have considered it.
For rough "guestimates" I'd say about $15k-$25K USD a year for locals, $65-$80K for expats, and more if you work for an outside company and are "stationed" in malaysia.

Oh no not again, I'm in a wrong place, again. Interesting from sheer♥black, "mahal kita". So where can I learn more about Tagalog?? I'm from Malaysia and I think we shared the same "mahal" as expensive. 今すぐに戻るスポンジボブ! jengjengjeng
