Working in Malaysia

Malaysia offers hospitality opportunities in Kuala Lumpur as well as island and coastal destinations including Penang, Langkawi, Sabah and parts of Sarawak. Hotels, resorts, restaurants, diving operators and tourism businesses regularly recruit in food and beverage, housekeeping, front office and administration. The culture is multicultural, with Malay, Chinese, Indian and indigenous influences, and English is widely used in tourism. Lifestyle ranges from busy city living to relaxed beach communities; costs are generally moderate, though resort islands can be more expensive. Foreign workers normally need an employer-sponsored work permit and should not work on a tourist visa. Employers commonly assist with permits, accommodation or relocation, but this must be confirmed before accepting an offer. Candidates should verify the contract, benefits, transport and island living arrangements.
