Destination Guide

Malaysia offers opportunities in hotels, resorts, restaurants, tourism, aviation, retail, technology and shared services. Johor Bahru is a practical base for hospitality professionals because of its large tourism market and proximity to Singapore, although living costs are generally lower than in Singapore. Malaysian culture is multicultural, with Malay, Chinese, Indian and indigenous influences reflected in food, festivals, religion and daily life. The lifestyle is warm and social, with shopping malls, beaches, islands, rainforests and excellent street food within reach. Malaysia is not a single island destination; popular island getaways include Langkawi, Penang, Tioman and the Perhentians. Foreign employees normally need an employment pass sponsored by the employer, and should not begin work before approval. Employers commonly assist with permits, relocation and accommodation, but candidates should confirm taxation, insurance, flights and benefits before accepting an offer.
