Yes! A lot of Pakistanis are moving to Malaysia for work, so their jobs back in Pakistan may be available. |

Interesting as I have mostly heard positive things about Malaysia. I have met quite a few Japanese who worked there in various industires and generally emjoyed the country. They said it was beautiful and the people were friendly, etc.
I have yet to met a Westerner who worked as an English teacher there. I have been reading this site for some time but haven't met anyone in my personal life. |

Malaysia is a wonderful country to live in and if i was a millionaire it's my first choice!
But working there is more difficult than some countries due to interracial work politics. In the case of EFL teachers it is a very small market dominated by cowboys paying sub standard wages and no work permits. Malaysia doesn't want the 'White trash' crowd you get a lot of in Thailand so wps are a lot harder to get. On the upside tattooed taxi drivers with khao San road teaching certs don't exist in Malaysia!
I have a mate who is working in a properly paid EFL job (with WP) in Malaysia and he is loving it. It's with schools. |

This sounds bad to a guy like me.

Yes, Malaysia is an absolute hole...terrible food, ugly people, awful beaches and no culture whatsoever. I think you would much prefer Pakistan. The beach parties there are great, lots of available wenches. May I be so bold as to recommend the city of Peshawar. I hear it's wonderful at this time of year.
What a tool! |

Yes, spot on wailing...I might even add that in the city of Abbottabad a fairly large compound just became available for rent as the owners seemingly have vacated the place.
