Working in Malaysia

Malaysia offers opportunities in hotel finance, accounting, auditing, tourism, food and beverage, events and resort operations, especially in Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Langkawi, Kota Kinabalu and other coastal destinations. Island life in Langkawi or Penang combines multicultural Malay, Chinese and Indian influences, varied food, warm weather and a relaxed outdoor lifestyle. Costs are generally lower than in major Western cities, although housing in popular tourist areas can be expensive. English is widely used in hotels and professional workplaces, while Malay is the national language. Foreign employees normally need an employer-sponsored Employment Pass, with approval handled through Malaysian immigration authorities; working before approval is not permitted. Candidates should confirm salary, accommodation, insurance, tax treatment, relocation support and contract terms. Malaysia has good transport, healthcare and international connections, but tropical heat, humidity and seasonal rain should be considered when relocating.
