Malaysia needs foreign workers only in selected industries and occupations, and it is therefore advisable for those intending to work in Malaysia to secure a job before arrival. Many expatriates living in Malaysia have been posted there on a temporary basis by their existing employers.
There is likely to be an increased demand for English teaching as English is being re-introduced as a medium of instruction for some subjects in Malaysian schools. Private tuition in English for school-aged children is very popular.
Expatriates can search for jobs in Malaysia using online recruitment websites, the online classifieds of national and local Malaysian newspapers, and Malaysian expat websites.
