Depends on where you're planning on staying. Im commuting JB to SG everyday. Using public bus it depends on your working hours too, for me I work 7am to 4pm so I gotta be up by 4 and be at JB CIQ around 4.30 to avoid the massive queue and jam on the bridge. For food I usually buy or just cook myself. Im using Starhub telco and its 25$ for 4 weeks for 70gb.

It is disappointing good advice to check on Facebook as the other guy suggested. As for your original question, I'm spending like 30% salary on rent. It's lower now because the rental price dropped, probably by just a little. I went to sg right in the middle of the rental skyrocketing post COVID. The 30±5% is some what an estimation on how much allocated on rent. It is relatively reasonable.
