Hey expat-blog people, single guy from Scotland moving to Kl next week to work for a property consultancy. I was in Malaysia in 2008 when I was travelling South Asia by motorcycle but know only a couple of people there so basically looking for new contacts/meet ups etc. Also have been playing some jazz guitar here so will be looking for similar opportunities once I'm over there so if anyone has any recommendations for jams/gigs etc I'd love to hear about it.

Looking forward to it!

If you like to join to band to play a Jazz guitar you need to get a permit on this field & you probably know that.

Good luck

yahonza

Permit? I'll have a working visa through the company I'm going to be working with.

Then you don't have to worry about work permit.

Cheers

Hi technically you can't do gigs on an employment pass as the work is for that job only. But if you are doing it for free I doubt you would get into trouble. Technically though is illegal if paid. But would you get caught? Maybe in a raid would be sticky situation but likely you would just pay a "on the spot fine" lol so have fun but beaware

yahonza

Hmm interesting, I wasn't aware of that though it's probably similar you having to pay tax on income earned from gigs in the UK... Good to know though.
