Moving to Penang - work question
A bit late, but my husband and I (early 30s) have been living in PJ for 3 months. Easy to get around/into KL, plenty of good places to eat, markets etc. and rental prices are much more affordable than mostly expat areas. Our condo is predominantly locals, but also a fair number of expats.

Re: Moving to Penang - work question
Hello and welcome to the forum 
I've shifted your post out to a new topic as it wasn't really related to Petaling Jaya. Hope you don't mind.
I guess the question is What kind of visa are you coming to Penang on?
If you are on MM2H, you cannot work. At least, it is difficult to get permission to work. You can read more about MM2H here:

I believe you can work if you are on the Long Term Social Visit Pass. I believe you can apply if you are married to a Malaysian. (Sorry, you haven't stated if you have this or not.) You can read more here:
