Malaysia
Residences in Malaysia's capital and regional project centres
With Convido, settling into Malaysia feels easier from the start. Across Kuala Lumpur and Bintulu, we connect professionals with residences that provide the comfort, privacy and everyday essentials needed for an extended stay.
Whether you're relocating to Kuala Lumpur or travelling to Bintulu for an extended assignment or project, your residence gives you a place to establish your own routine and feel at home. So you can focus on the work and the experience, knowing the life around it has been considered.
Apartments sourced to your brief
We don't hold a fixed portfolio in Malaysia. We source apartments once we know the city, the length of stay and where you need to be each morning, so what you get is chosen for the assignment rather than picked from whatever happened to be free.
In practice that means a one or two-bedroom apartment in a residential building, furnished and equipped to the same standard as every Convido apartment, within reach of Kuala Lumpur's business districts or the operations at Bintulu.
Tell us the city, the dates and the office address, and we'll come back with options. Most briefs are answered within a few days. Nothing is confirmed until you've seen what we're proposing.
Practical things to know
Lay of the land
Rainforest older than the Amazon, tea highlands, and islands on both coasts. The peninsula and Borneo are the same country and nothing alike.
Food and drink
Malay, Chinese and Indian cooking on the same street, often in the same meal. Nasi lemak, char kway teow and roti canai, endlessly argued over.
Culture and character
Three cultures, several religions and a public holiday calendar to match. Courtesy runs deep, and almost everyone switches languages mid-sentence without blinking.
The seasons
Hot and humid all year, with rain rather than seasons. The east coast monsoon runs November to February, the west from April to October.
I'd braced myself for a generic hotel room for four months. Instead, I had a kitchen, a proper desk, and a nasi lemak place downstairs that I still think about.
