Destination Guide

Malaysia offers hospitality, tourism, retail, technology and service-sector opportunities, especially in Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Langkawi, Sabah and Sarawak. Kuching is on Borneo, Malaysia’s largest island, and is known for its relaxed pace, food culture, diverse communities and access to rainforests, rivers and wildlife. Living costs are generally lower than in Kuala Lumpur, although accommodation near major hotels can vary. Malaysia’s culture blends Malay, Chinese, Indian and Indigenous traditions, with English commonly used in hotels and business settings. Foreign employees normally need an employer-sponsored Employment Pass, and the company must handle the relevant immigration approvals before work begins. Candidates should confirm visa eligibility, medical checks, contract terms, accommodation and relocation support directly with the employer. Sarawak has separate immigration administration, so additional state entry procedures may apply to foreign workers.
