250k MYR in Malaysia vs 14M JPY in Japan

Crossposting from r/MalaysiaTech

Hypothetically speaking, if you get two job offers paying

  1. 250k MYR per annum - based in Malaysia - remote
  2. 14M JPY per annum - based in Tokyo - hybrid

Which would you pick?

Japan looks tempting, but the income tax in Japan is so high and Tokyo rent is very expensive. It looks like you won't be able to save much in Japan on that salary unless you're really frugal.

I wonder if any Malaysians have exposure to both countries have any insights.
