The Rasa Sayang Resort and Golden Sands Resort are located in Batu Feringgi, Penang, offering luxury accommodation, restaurants, leisure facilities, meeting spaces and beach-resort experiences.

Benefits may include staff meals, uniform, training, service charge and employee room-rate programmes, depending on the property and employment terms.
Penang Island is one of Malaysia’s most attractive locations for hospitality, tourism and events work. Job opportunities are common in hotels, resorts, restaurants, tour companies, retail, healthcare, education and technology, with stronger seasonal demand during holidays and conference periods. Penang combines George Town’s UNESCO-listed heritage, diverse Malay, Chinese and Indian culture, excellent food scene and relaxed coastal lifestyle. Batu Feringgi suits beach and resort living, while George Town offers more urban amenities and public transport. Living costs are generally lower than Kuala Lumpur, although rents near the beach can be higher. Foreign employees normally need an employer-sponsored Employment Pass, and they must not begin work before approval. Employers usually guide the application and onboarding process. Candidates should confirm salary, service charge, accommodation, insurance and relocation support before accepting an offer.
