Working in Malaysia

Malaysia offers hospitality opportunities across Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Langkawi, Sabah and Sarawak, although Four Points by Sheraton Puchong is located on the mainland in Selangor, near Kuala Lumpur. The country has a multicultural lifestyle shaped by Malay, Chinese, Indian and indigenous traditions, with excellent food, shopping, nature and public transport. Kuala Lumpur provides the widest range of hotel and restaurant jobs, while island destinations such as Langkawi and Penang offer resort and tourism positions. Foreign employees generally need an employment pass or other valid work authorization arranged and sponsored by the employer before starting work. Relocating usually involves employer documentation, medical checks and immigration approval. Housing in Puchong is generally more affordable than central Kuala Lumpur, and daily life is convenient, warm and relatively low-cost. English is widely used in hotels, while Malay is the national language.
