Destination Guide

Malaysia offers strong opportunities in banking, technology, shared services, tourism, manufacturing and logistics, especially in Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, Penang and Johor. Popular island destinations include Penang, Langkawi, Tioman, Redang and parts of Sabah. The culture is multicultural, with Malay, Chinese, Indian and indigenous influences, and English is widely used in business. Lifestyle costs are moderate compared with Singapore, though central Kuala Lumpur and popular islands can be expensive. Public transport is good in major cities, while island living is quieter and more seasonal. Foreign professionals generally need an employment pass sponsored by their employer before starting work. Relocating is easiest with a confirmed offer, valid passport, medical documents and suitable housing arranged in advance. Malaysia’s tropical climate is warm and humid throughout the year.
