My personal exprience:
Lai Lai Apartment average about 600k a month.
True, and most friends who stays in this so called Kost executive werent there 24 hours, 7 days a week. Hence the calculation of the electricity bill need to plus minus a bit here and there.

Maintence fee at 1juta a month.

You see the different?
Hmm...so can i safely say that the electricity mentioned here were when your air-con were 24 turned on round the clock? For both high-rise apartment and your landed house you stayed in.

Thanks for your info, now i have another problem and i am going to find ways to solve it...

Hmm...so i am guessing as foreigner, it would be more expensive even if i stayed in a landed house instead of apartment.
