HR is a profession for local Malaysians rather like banking.

Yes, as a general rule the only professions available for expats are ones that they're no local candidates for - by law. It's going to be hard to find an employer will or is able to get a work permit with your background. Probably not impossible, but very difficult.

They prefer local here, unless you have a good experience or skill.

Potential employers only contact short-listed candidates. There are call centre jobs via Emerio but they are not being advertised.
