A Guide to Interning Abroad in Malaysia
Locations
Malaysia is a federation made up of 13 states, each of them with its own distinct cultural influences and customs. From the indigenous Malay people to recent Chinese immigrants to years of Dutch colonialism, every city and region has a distinct way of life that has been shaped by their geography, history, and people. In recent years, these cultural hubs have also grown to provide numerous internship opportunities in various professional fields. The most popular cities for internships in Malaysia include Kuala Lumpur, Kuching, and Penang Island.
Kuala Lumpur. Located on the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur boasts far more than the title of federal capital of Malaysia. It is also the largest city in the country with a young population of Malay, Chinese, and Indian cultures. Kuala Lumpur combines modern innovation and ages-old tradition with its iconic, stainless steel-clad Petronas Towers and numerous Hindu temples, lush parks, Mosques, and bustling street food vendors. Aside from the city’s endless amount of entertainment and history, it is also a hotbed for international business.
Kuching. The largest city on Borneo Island, Kuching is one of the top destinations within the state of Sarawak. It is known for its vibrant streets, filled with shopping, open-air markets, and Asian cuisine, perfect for strolling and for immersing oneself in Malaysian culture. Aside from city life, ecotourism is a major draw to Kuching due to its close proximity to jungle and coastal conservation areas. The Rafflesia, the world’s largest flower, alone attracts thousands of visitors each year, as well as the elusive orangutans.
Penang Island. More specifically, the state capital of George Town, is one of the most economically important and developed regions of Malaysia. Originally a colonial seaport, the city is now most commonly known as “Silicon Island” for its high-tech industries and flourishing population, making it a hotbed for tech internships in Malaysia. The area is also sprawling with beach resorts and historical sites, as well as unparalleled cuisine.
