Cons

UNHCR Malaysia office policies may be volatile to policy changes from the highest donor. It may be volatile from policy changes from Headquarters in Geneva or Regional operations in Thailand. Limited opportunity to develop within Malaysia office, after reaching certain levels, there may be more options for international posts but this is highly competitive. There are different contract types, whether you are an affiliate contract or directly under the UNHCR affects the benefits you will receive as an employee. NO EPF, no SOCSO. emotional burnout high, please get hobbies outside of work. Especially since you will be hearing
