Going to KL next month...need your advice

Hi wq - it does not seem to be a very sound plan. I am not sure what nationality your aunty has but she will encounter problems to get a job for the following reasons. It does not seem as if she has the type of professional qualifications and experience that will get her a job in Malaysia. Sales promotion is unlikely to be a field in which she will find work (although there are literally hundreds of jobs advertised on Mudah). That is because she does not speak local languages and the companies are too small to hire foreigners (also the contracts are short-term). The pay for a sales promo job can be about RM5 per hour and the most likely wage she could earn in the sectors you mention is RM1200-1500 per month. But those sectors are where the foreign workers are employed - they must come from •Indonesia •Cambodia •Nepal •Myanmar •Laos •Vietnam •Philippines (male only) •Pakistan •Sri Lanka •Thailand •Turkmenistan •Uzbekistan or •Kazakhstan.

There is a minimum monthly salary required by all other nationalities to get a work permit (employment pass) and that is RM5k. The average salary for Malaysians is still only about RM3k so you can see the jobs have to be quite senior. The problem is that people do not research about Malaysia and understand how it functions and the rules. It is not like the EU and is still a developing nation in a developing region.

Please make sure your Aunty knows what to expect from Malaysian immigration and employment laws before she sets out. It is not particularly easy to live cheaply in Malaysia, if you are "white" - everyone will think you have lots of money.

Hi to simplify the above.

Tell you auntie to she won't get a job!

She will waste her time and money as well.
