Andaraya manages and operates worker hostels across Malaysia that meet or exceed all requirements set by JTKSM, the Immigration Department, and RBA. Our facilities are regularly inspected, maintained, and audited to ensure ongoing compliance.

Each hostel is staffed with trained welfare officers who handle day-to-day resident needs, monitor health, manage occupancy records, and ensure a harmonious living environment.

  • 24/7 on-site management, welfare officers, and security presence

Our Standards

Built on Compliance & Care

Every hostel we operate is benchmarked against three key frameworks — government regulations, international standards, and our internal welfare code.

JTKSM Compliance

All hostels comply with Jabatan Tenaga Kerja Semenanjung Malaysia regulations on worker accommodation — minimum space per person, sanitation standards, ventilation, and safety requirements.

Fully Compliant

RBA Housing Standards

We operate under the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) Code of Conduct, ensuring our hostels meet international benchmarks for worker housing, dignity, and freedom of movement.

RBA Aligned

Andaraya Welfare Code

Beyond legal requirements, we apply our internal welfare code — going further to ensure workers feel genuinely cared for, respected, and supported throughout their time with us.

Above & Beyond

Fully Compliant with Malaysian Law

Our hostel management operations align with all relevant Malaysian legislation and international standards — protecting your business from regulatory risk while upholding worker dignity and rights.

Compliance & Legal

Why Compliance Matters

Non-compliant worker accommodation exposes employers to serious legal, financial, and reputational risks. JTKSM audits, RBA supplier assessments, and immigration spot-checks are increasingly rigorous — and penalties for violations can be severe.

Engaging Andaraya's hostel management service means your accommodation obligations are handled by an experienced, licensed operator. We manage the audits, documentation, inspections, and ongoing compliance so you don't have to.

Minimum Space

JTKSM mandates minimum living space per worker — we exceed this standard in all our facilities.

Ventilation

Proper airflow, natural lighting, and temperature management in all sleeping quarters.

Freedom of Movement

RBA requires workers have freedom to leave accommodation at any time — we enforce this strictly.

Record Keeping

Full occupancy records, maintenance logs, and welfare reports maintained and audit-ready at all times.
