Gurus, need your advice!!

Dear Expats,

I need your advice.

I am having a job offer from Malaysian employer. The contract is for 1 year however extendable. I will be on employment pass for 2 yrs.

1. Is it easy to get job in Malaysia? Are the companies easy to find who can generate an EP and give job?
2. Can the EP be transferred on completion of the contract i.e 1yr; or the other company has to issue a new EP?
3. I am getting and offer of 9500 RM ; I am 7 yrs experienced. Is it good or bad?

Please help gurus.

Thanks

1. Is it easy to get job in Malaysia? Are the companies easy to find who can generate an EP and give job?
Answer: Depends on what kind of job you are qualified to do and whether firms can get permission to hire foreigners.

2. Can the EP be transferred on completion of the contract i.e 1yr; or the other company has to issue a new EP?
Answer: EP cannot be transferred, the first employer has to issue a release letter (some will make problems and not cooperate) and the new employer has to cancel the existing EP and get a new EP issued in their name and for the title of the job they are offering.

3. I am getting and offer of 9500 RM ; I am 7 yrs experienced. Is it good or bad?
Answer: It depends on what type of job it is.

Thanks for the reply.

Thanks for the reply.

I am into data warehousing with skills in Cognos [Reporting].
Can we find openings in Malaysia for this skill? Are there any other jobs portals to search for?

Also, do companies in Singapore hire people from Malaysia?

Please help
