Destination Guide

Malaysia offers varied opportunities in hotels, resorts, restaurants, tourism, retail, shared services and administration, especially in Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Langkawi, Kota Kinabalu and Johor. Island destinations such as Langkawi, Penang and parts of Sabah combine multicultural Malaysian, Chinese, Indian and Indigenous influences with beaches, rainforests, markets and excellent food. Lifestyle costs are generally lower than in many major international cities, although resort islands can be more expensive for housing and imported goods. Public transport is strongest in major cities; island living may require taxis, buses or a motorbike. Foreign employees normally need an employer-sponsored Employment Pass or another appropriate work permit, and should not begin work before approval. Employers commonly assist with immigration paperwork, but candidates should confirm accommodation, medical cover, relocation support and contract terms. Malaysia is warm and humid year-round, with regional monsoon seasons affecting weather and travel.
