I have an offer of 28000 MYR per month. My wife is not working. My son is 3 years old and will be going to nursery/kindergarten. Can someone advise if it is enough for a family of 3 in KL considering the expenses below?
1. School fees for my son
2. Single income as wife is a home maker
3. Rent a 3/4 BR Condominium Accommodation (somewhere in Bangsar or Brickfields)
4. Food (eat out 2 times a week)
5. Entertainment
6. Groceries
7. Clothing
8. Car EMI (Honda civic or city)
9. Domestic help (live in)
10. Tax and other government payouts
Is 28k/month sufficient for a family in KL

Kindergarten can cost as little as RM500 per month, but probably better to spend RM700 - 1000 to get something better than daycare. Expensive ones cost about RM6000 per term.
3 bedroom condo will cost about RM4000 upwards in Bangsar.
Live in maid will cost whatever you can bargain out of them. If they are Filipino they may start with a ridiculously high amount and you may need to bargain it down a lot. Recommendations from other people is better.
There are lots of websites showing car prices, both new and secondhand. For new, you can bargain the price down and try to get a few extras thrown in.

RM28000 is more than enough even for your children to go international school.
Tax is progressive tax whereby max at 24.5% if not mistaken.
