The majority of students end up leaving Malaysia after their degree. Getting a Professional work permit is the best way to have a career in Malaysia. F&B is not a good route to get that type of visa. Malaysians work in management positions in F&B usually.

That does not happen in Malaysia. There is no guarantee of a job after a degree here. Don't waste your time and money getting a F&B degree to work in Malaysia.

Oh, I see, you don't understand the concept of Foreign Worker.

There are two types of visa in Malaysia. One is called FW and it's for unskilled workers who can work in 5 sectors:
Manufacturing
Plantation
Agriculture
Construction
Services Sector

Don't need a degree to work as a Foreign Worker

The other system is the Professional Employment Pass. Foreigners can work with that type of visa, but the reality is there are only a few sectors where they can get jobs (IT is the main one) and F&B is not really a good choice.

No not a good sector either. But as I wrote - don't need a degree to work as a Foreign Worker in Malaysia. There are problems with registering FWs at the moment - that is the issue. Employers are being punished for not registering their workers by the deadline which was a couple of months ago. A lot of workers here in Malaysia are undocumented and staying illegally (often because of their employer doesn't get them registered).

Non-Malaysians are recruited when the skills are not available among the Malaysian population - that is how immigration view authorising employment passes. What is happening at the moment is there are government to government arrangements being finalised to control recruitment of FWs into Malaysia. You work nearly all of your life - aim for a well-paid career not just a job.
