Working in Malaysia

Malaysia offers varied opportunities in hospitality, finance, tourism, technology, manufacturing and shared services, especially in Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Langkawi, Kota Kinabalu and other resort destinations. Its island lifestyle ranges from Langkawi’s relaxed beaches and outdoor activities to Penang’s heritage, food culture and lively urban scene, while Sabah and Sarawak provide exceptional nature and ecotourism. Malaysian culture is multicultural, with Malay, Chinese, Indian and Indigenous traditions reflected in festivals, cuisine and everyday life. Living costs are generally moderate, though central Kuala Lumpur and popular resort areas can be more expensive. Foreign employees normally need an employment pass arranged and sponsored by the employer before starting work; requirements depend on nationality, salary and role.
