Hiring in Malaysia

Located on the Malaysian Peninsula and part of Borneo Island in South East Asia, Malaysia is a tropical nation famous for its extremely diverse wildlife, stunning beaches and one of the most harmonious multicultural societies on earth. Much of Malaysia’s wealth and economic grunt centres on the capital city of Kuala Lumpur, a former trading post which has grown to become a global finance centre.

The former world’s tallest building, the Petronas Towers, is testament to the strength of the Malaysian economy, the 25th largest in the world. Services dominate Malaysia’s economic structure, but exports of manufactured electronics, petroleum and palm oil play a large role too.

Malaysia enjoys an open economy which has led to high development and a labour market protected by extensive employment laws and worker’s rights.

Hiring in Malaysia is a popular option for foreign investors looking to leverage an educated workforce with extensive English language skills and advanced education.

Malaysia has set out multiple economic transformation and growth initiatives since the 1950s, with the welfare and development of Malaysian workers often at the heart of economic plans.
