Hi guys, glad I found this place and big hi from the UK!
I'm a Malaysian who's finally moving back to Ipoh after yonks abroad after getting a job back home. My British husband and 9 month old son are coming with me.
As we are both experienced martial arts instructors, the husband plans to open a kung fu school in Ipoh, but until he gets the business off the ground and a large enough client base, will need to find something else to do in the meantime.
Does anyone know what kinds of jobs would be available to a British who hasn't yet learned the local languages? Unfortunately, he has no qualifications, no GCSEs. However, he's a great people person, and can talk the hind legs off a donkey. Trust me, I know!
He has experience working as a bartender and a commercial window cleaner (currently he cleans the highrises around Docklands), but not sure if there's much call for either in Ipoh?
Any advice anyone can offer will be much appreciated. :-)
Oh, and I'm sure he'll appreciate meeting fellow Brits and Westerners out there. I can imagine he'll be pretty homesick, so do feel free to connect!
