What is the cost of G Suite account and what is included?
I checked the G Suite pricing on Google official website, they have different pricing for Malaysia and Singapore. I would recommend you to look for local Google Partner to know more details. This is the price list for G Suite per user per year for Singapore and Malaysia as below.

Let us do the math now. We take USD64.80 divided by 365. It is actually USD 0.18 cent per day per user for a Basic Account in Malaysia, and just USD 0.34 cent per day per user for a Business Account in Malaysia.
G Suite is not only about Gmail. It is comprises of many many advanced features such as:

Based on these tips and also feedback from my friends, I found out TS Cloud has all these criterias. They are the G Suite Premier Partner in Malaysia and G Suite Premier Partner in Singapore.
