Thats a good article on cost of living in that area...
It says the cost of living for a house is around 100 to 150 euros now based on your said income of 8500 ringgits = 1,697 euros you should be more than ok.
But according to this gentlman it would seem somewhat more expensive...Decent (furnished) condo in one of the Damansaras or such as TTDI/Sri Hartamas (per month):-
One-bedroomed : RM2,000 perhaps less.
3-4 bedroomed : RM3-4,000
Electricity : RM80-RM250 (depending on # of occupants)
Water/Indah Water : RM20-RM50
Gas : RM30-40
Eating out at local foodstalls : RM5-RM10 per person per meal
Eating out at western restaurants : RM25-RM100 per person per meal.
Draught beer in a pub : RM8-RM12 per mug (1/2 pint). Look for "happy hours"!
Premium cigarettes : RM9 per 20-box.
Taxis from the named suburbs to city centre : RM15-RM20 each way.
Car hire : RM120-RM150 per day (but much better rates for long term lease)
Petrol : RM1.80 per litre
I'd personally recommend you look around in TTDI, especially if your wife and daughter join you, as this is close by the huge shopping complexes of 1 Utama and Mutiara Damansara, which will be convenient for your wife (no need to go downtown for anything). There are also international schools in the vicinity, and it's generally quite a pleasant (green) and safe area where good English is spoken by almost 100% of the residents and shop/business keepers.
Many ex-pats incline to Mont Kiara, but this is rapidly becoming an oppressive concrete jungle.
There are usually units to rent in Villa Flora or Kiara Park at (fairly) reasonable rates, both of which are well-run, secure condominiums, and a few minutes from the Kenchala (sp) link, which will scoot you into and out of town.
Apparently its all about location...Well, if you don't really mind the inaccessibility to foreign grocers, pubs or a decent Montessori, I'd recommend, since your office is in KL, to stay in somewhere like Sentul or Gombak. You can get a decent 2-room apartment for about RM700. Electricity, let's just say you have no air-con but you have a computer, fridge, hot-water shower, electric kettle and iron, perhaps RM100. Food I don't know how to quote, but to get 3 decent meals a day (and I'm talking about keeping it about RM20 per person per day) it would cost about RM2000 for 3 people. The rest for transport it depends, you taking LRT, car, taxi or bus? Let's just say you take the LRT, I'd give it about RM100. Well, I guess all in all, to just survive decently, you'd need about RM3000 for you and your family.

Its a multi racial country. Living in the cities you get everything that Singapore has but less expensive. Living in smaller towns, its cheaper. Travelling from North to South by driving takes 7 hours via highways with tolls. Cost of living: Heavy Breakfast RM4.00, Heavy Lunch + Juice RM9.00, Heavy Tea time RM 4.00, Heavy Dinner + Juice RM 10.00 and Supper RM 5.00.
We Malaysian eat hell of a lot. There are stalls, shops everywhere and every time is food. Even McDonalds is 24/7.
Cities Rent a room Rm300 per month, towns RM300 the whole house. No guns, only the government has it and the underworld drug dealers. Death to all drug peddlers. You can't find gunshops and very limited shooting range. Even rich people can't get guns. Excellent schools and hospitals. English widely spoken. Imagine Malaysian nurses can easily migrate to Australia, just pass the IELTS tests. That's quality. Learn more for those interested. Especially the British, UK the senior citizen should just sell their London home and live in Malaysia. Small homes in London cost 1 million pounds that's RM 7 million. Can live like kings and queens with full servants in Kuala Lumpur, balance of monies put into unit trust. Australia to KL cheap flights coming very soon estimated RM 1, 200 return.

Answer
i miss the days when the labels (products) we all grew up with were made in the good old usa. when i was a kid, it was a novelty to HAVE something that was made overseas. in my opinion, things WERE better in the good old days. i know not everything was, but in regards to your question. besides, there's too damn much "stuff", anyway. edit..to the guy up there, the usa doesn't make crap. i'd rather buy usa anything else, if given the choice.
