Government policy aims to increase the employment of persons with disabilities in the public sector.
Malaysia has a long-standing government policy that aims for at least one per cent of public sector positions to be filled by persons with disabilities. The Persons with Disabilities Act 2008 also recognises the right of persons with disabilities to work on an equal basis with others.
In practice, many autistic job seekers find opportunities in both the public and private sectors, often in roles that match detail-oriented, structured or technical strengths.
Check job postings on government portals and inclusive hiring platforms such as this one. When applying, you may request reasonable adjustments, for example a written task list or a quiet workspace.
