Working in Malaysia

Malaysia offers opportunities in banking, technology, shared services, tourism, manufacturing, logistics and professional services. Kuala Lumpur and the Klang Valley are the main commercial hubs, while Penang, Johor and Sabah also attract international workers. The culture is multicultural, with Malay, Chinese, Indian and indigenous influences, and English is widely used in business. Lifestyle costs are generally lower than in Singapore, although central Kuala Lumpur housing can be expensive. Malaysia has tropical weather, diverse food, modern shopping areas and easy access to beaches and islands such as Langkawi, Redang and Perhentian. Foreign employees usually need an employment pass sponsored by their employer; requirements depend on salary, qualifications and role. Arrange immigration approval, health coverage, housing and banking before relocation.
