I’ve been so curious of why is it so difficult to apply working permit in Malaysia. So, once again I googling and found out these.

Work can be found teaching English in Malaysia particularly in cities such as Kuala Lumpur and Penang although positions are limited and the government will only issue work permits to applicants holding at least a MA.

Employment Pass (EP)
This is issued to foreigners who enter the country to take up a contract of employment with a minimum period of two years and earn a monthly income of not less than RM 3,000.

I think those are the reasons behind the difficulty of getting a job in Malaysia for a foreigner despite the limitation of the numbers of foreign staffs in a company. The company rather save it for higher level one like Creative Director or University Lecturer than give it to first entry or middle level one. There is so many people graduates every year but not all of them have the qualifications. Why bother spend so much money and long process to hire a foreigner while they can find other local people with the same qualifications? But I was thinking about the foreigners (Indonesian, Chinamen, etc) whom work in LUCT as the student service staffs, etc. How could they get the permit? Hmm..
