Tun Razak 2 Residence, Kuala Lumpur, 2023

What you receive

What you get back.

A written report, about six pages, in 1 working day. Free. You do not have to call us to get it.

It is yours to keep. Show it to any agency. Use it to argue about a quote. Take it to someone else. We ask for nothing back.

  1. 01

    Which channel you are in

    eQuota or CLAB, based on your CIDB grade and how many people you employ. Next to every rule we use, we print where it came from and when we checked it. If the rule does not clearly cover your case, we say so instead of picking the answer that suits us.

  2. 02

    Where you are on advertising the job

    You must advertise the job to Malaysians first. We tell you where you stand on that, and what it means for your earliest start date. It has to run for a minimum time and nobody can shorten it, including us.

  3. 03

    Point-by-point check of your file

    Each point is marked pass, gap, or not checked, with the reason. Anything that would stop your application outright is flagged on its own. You never get just a score.

  4. 04

    Your total government cost

    Levy, bond, FOMEMA, insurance and permit fees, added up for the number of workers you need, in the order you pay them. Next to each one, the official portal your company pays it to. None of our money is in this table.

  5. 05

    Your worker housing position

    Certified, fixable, or the thing that will stop you. Housing rules are enforced against the employer, not the agent. That is why it gets its own section.

  6. 06

    A realistic date range

    With what we assumed, and the three things most likely to change it. It is a range, and we call it a range. We do not know what your file will do. Neither does anyone giving you a date.

  7. 07

    We read your agent's quote

    Send us one and we go through it line by line: which ringgit go to the government, and which the agent keeps. If your agent is charging you fairly, the file says so.

  8. 08

    How to fix each gap

    For each gap: the document that fixes it and who has to produce it. Written so your own office staff can work from it without us.

  9. 09

    Our fees, on page one

    Before our findings on page three. If you think the money is bending our answer, you can see exactly how much money that would be.

  10. 10

    The agency licence you can check

    Our partner agency's JTKSM licence number, with a link to the official register so you can check it yourself.

  11. 11

    One page for whoever signs

    Written for the person who signs the cheque, not the person who did the reading. Usually they are different people, and only one of them will read six pages.

  12. 12

    Sources

    Every figure, where it came from, a link, and when we last checked it.

What we charge

Our fee schedule.

In August 2026 we looked at the websites of firms advertising to Malaysian contractors and could not find one that publishes its prices. That does not prove none does. So ask, in writing, before you commit to anyone. Find one and send it to us — we will list it.

The Open File

No charge

No fee. No deposit. No obligation to use our partner agency. No obligation to speak to us at all.

Introduction to the licensed agency

Paid by the agency, not by you

If you ask us to introduce you, we pass your company name and what you need. Nothing else. They pay us for that. This is the money that could bend our answer, so we print it above our answer in every file.

Rate agreed in principle. Not papered yet. RM0 earned to date.

Keeping the file open

Monthly, quoted per company

We keep your permits, levy receipts, housing certificates and renewal dates up to date. This is the only money you would pay us directly. We quote it in writing before anything starts.

Available on request

Levies, bonds and government fees

Never through us

Your company pays these directly, in your company name, to the official portals. We never receive or hold any of it.

Four answers gets you page one, on screen.

Which channel you are in, where you are in the steps, what the government will cost you in ringgit, and the one document to get now. No name, no phone number, no email.
