Malaysia EP

[XJSJohn]

OK, there are loads of better places to ask this, (and i am off to have a chat with a few mates later) but the PH opinion is always useful!

Company is interested in taking me on for a 12 month contract (in Petaling Jaya) But they seem to be of the opinion that a malaysian EP takes 2 months to secure.

Are there any issues in working on a tourist visa whilst the EP is being processed? (i know this is allowed in Singapore) especially as I will be commuting Back to Singapore each weekend.

Thanks John. If/when I move there I'll give you a shout

As you can see, there are a few of us out here, usually found in a slightly alcoholic haze!!!

Lets try that again only coherantly!!

Its a fairly skilled position, i have all the industry experiance / qualifications for it, but not the formal education per say ...

Guess i just wing it and see what happens.

0% tax sounds OK ...

OK I can see I did the last one quick at home with the spell check off.

my previous post had to be completely removed due to drunken use of internet!

My experience is try to get the job title right, the word specialist is much better than technician or manager, beef up your CV, and try to demonstrate that you will mentor the locals.

Cheers, good points, will work on that once i get the rubber stamp. The job is actually to head up a global PMO for BAT so fairly senior and can definitely be used to show "mentoring" of locals.

I will still be living in Singa, just Monday to Friday in PJ, but i am sure the odd weekend to Sepang will be on the cards too!!

No more boozy weekends for you then John, quality time with the better half will be in order if you're away all week!

Quality time ..... down the pub

Kel,

True about the Aeroline, used that a few times too, but its also the convenience of having the car there during the week. The job is in PJ so would still need to get a taxi from KLCC after arriving on coach too.

I am a Singa PR and have so many stamps in and out of Malaysia already that its hard to keep a check of where i have been reciently, but also not an issue to be staying in KL for a weekend now and again too!

Happy ..... possibly
