Maid Agency in Kedah — PMA Agensi Pekerjaan
Agensi Pekerjaan PMA Sdn Bhd serves Kedah families from its Alor Setar office at Taman Sri Tandop — a JTKSM-licensed maid agency placing Indonesian and Filipino domestic helpers across northern Kedah since 1993.
PMA's Alor Setar Office Covers Northern Kedah
PMA's Kedah branch is located at Jalan Lencong Barat, Taman Sri Tandop, Alor Setar — the state capital and the most central point for reaching families across northern Kedah. The office handles both new placements and all ongoing services: permit renewals, contract renewals, cancellations and passport renewals.
Families in Sungai Petani, Kulim, Jitra, Pendang and Langkawi are served from this office. Sungai Petani is approximately 30 minutes by expressway. Many families from further afield begin with a phone or WhatsApp enquiry and visit only for document submission.
The office also carries a particular strength for families in the northern region: our consultants understand that Kedah households — many Malay-speaking, many with extended family structures — have distinct preferences that differ from urban Klang Valley families. The advice you get reflects that.

What a Kedah Family Says
Frequently Asked Questions — PMA Kedah
How far is the Alor Setar office from Sungai Petani?
Sungai Petani to Alor Setar is approximately 30 kilometres, typically a 25–35 minute drive on the North-South Expressway. Many Sungai Petani families manage the initial consultation by phone and visit only when they need to submit documents or collect completed paperwork.
Can I get an Indonesian maid in Kedah through PMA?
Yes. Indonesian domestic helpers account for a large proportion of PMA's Kedah placements. Indonesian helpers are generally well-suited for Malay-speaking households — shared language reduces the initial adjustment period, and familiarity with Malaysian cooking and Islamic household practices is an advantage. See the Indonesian vs Filipino comparison for a detailed breakdown.
Does PMA Kedah serve Langkawi families?
Langkawi families can contact our Alor Setar office to discuss arrangements — call 04-772 6199 or 012-4232 999. The logistics of travel and documentation for island placements differ slightly from mainland Kedah; our consultants can advise on what is involved.
How do I start the hiring process in Kedah?
Call 04-772 6199 or 012-4232 999, walk in to our Alor Setar office (Mon–Fri, 9am–6pm), or submit an online enquiry. A consultant will cover eligibility, costs, nationality choice and timeline. The initial consultation carries no obligation. Our hiring guide explains the full process.
