Default Considering a move from HK

Hi all,

I currently live in HK (originally from UK) but I've always had a love for SE Asia and have been considering a move to KL for while if it is financially viable. I work in the banking industry and have already had a positive discussion with my manager about a possible transfer, though its very early stages so have no idea what the terms would be, ie local, secondment etc.

My current role is senior manager of an operations team, with a salary in HK equivalent to around GBP 60k per annum + medical. However, one key consideration is school fees... We have a 3 year old and 11 month old twins.

Can anyone give me a ballpark idea of the sort of package I should be aiming for please? Is it feasible to get school and housing allowances on a local package, or is this only likely in an expat/secondment arrangement?

Many thanks!

Thanks! Another question I have is, what are everyone's thoughts on the English speaking private schools, as opposed to the full international schools? Any that are recommended in particular?
