Are there part-time job opportunities in Malaysia that can cover my monthly living expenses?

No, part-time jobs in Malaysia typically do not cover the full monthly living expenses for international students.

- Work limit: Up to 20 hours/week during semester breaks or holidays longer than seven days.
- Allowed sectors: Restaurants, petrol kiosks, mini markets, and hotels.
- Average pay: RM 7 - 15/hour; about RM 800/month if you work the maximum allowed hours at RM 10/hour.
- Estimated living costs: RM 1,500 - 2,500/month, depending on your lifestyle and location.
- Approval required: You must get permission from the Malaysian Immigration Department before starting any part-time job.

Part-time work can help offset some expenses, but you will need additional funding to fully cover your living costs.
