PMA's Alor Setar Office Serves Families Across Northern Kedah
Agensi Pekerjaan PMA Sdn Bhd is a JTKSM-licensed maid agency established in Penang in 1993. Our Alor Setar office, located at Jalan Lencong Barat in Taman Sri Tandop, serves families across the northern region — from Alor Setar and Sungai Petani to Kulim, Jitra and Langkawi.
For Kedah families, having a physical office in Alor Setar means the consultation, documentation, and any post-placement support happens locally — you are not dealing with an agency in another state that treats northern Malaysia as a secondary market.
The Alor Setar office handles new placements (Indonesian and Filipino), transfer maids, permit renewals, contract renewals and cancellations.

I am from Sungai Petani — is the Alor Setar office the right one to contact?
Yes. Sungai Petani families are served through our Alor Setar office. The drive from Sungai Petani to Alor Setar takes approximately 30 minutes on the expressway. Alternatively, many families in Sungai Petani handle the consultation and follow-up by phone or WhatsApp, visiting the office only for document submission.
Does PMA Alor Setar place Indonesian and Filipino maids?
Yes, both. Indonesian helpers are generally better suited for Malay-speaking households and traditional local cooking. Filipino helpers have an English-language advantage and are commonly chosen for childcare and elderly care. Our Alor Setar consultant will advise based on your household's specific situation. See the full comparison.
