Malaysia offers strong opportunities in banking, shared services, technology, engineering, healthcare, education, tourism, and manufacturing. Kuala Lumpur is the main financial and corporate centre, while Penang and Johor also attract international employers. The culture is multicultural, with Malay, Chinese, Indian, and indigenous influences; English is widely used in professional settings, alongside Malay and other languages. Lifestyle costs are moderate compared with Singapore and many Western cities, although central Kuala Lumpur housing can be expensive.
