nah just come here 1st then figure it out later..he can easily find a job at steel fabrication factories as machine operator and since he can speak/or chinese so expect a decent job at least a supervisor..dont worry about permit i met many china man at this kind of factories and i dont think they got permit either..just ask him to take English class later then should be good...so many foreigners on this land u think they all got permit?

u can go to any factory/workshops get a contact and ask them...just to get better ideas. this kind of workshop mostly located at sg buloh/belakong/kepong area. this kind our jobs normally local people will try to avoid
