Hi Sahel,
What do you want to know ?
ask me maybe I could answer you

Sahel - Bangladeshi are one of the nationalities that are able to live in Malaysia and work as a FOREIGN WORKER in one of the following sectors:

manufacturing, construction, plantation, agricultural, services and domestic help sector.

Services sector consists of eleven sub sectors: (restaurant, cleaning services, cargo handling, launderette, caddy in golf club, barber, wholesale/retail, textile, metal/scraps/recycle activities, welfare homes and hotel/resort island).

All applications for foreign workers should be submitted to the One Stop Centre, Ministry of Home Affairs except for applications for foreign domestic helpers which should be submitted to Malaysia?s Immigration Department.

For further information on employment of foreign workers, please visit the Ministry of Home Affairs website:



The rule is that a Malaysian employer has to prove that he/she was unable to fill the position from within Malaysia.  There are annual fees involved which end up being paid by the worker in many cases.

I would add foreign workers are not treated as expats. Pays is low and conditions can be bad.

And usually done via an agency who get workers in bulk.
