Sorry your post is confusing. How can your husband be on a "dependent visa" makes no sense??? You are not Malaysian???? Unless you are here to study????
All non-Malaysians need an employment pass (work permit) unless approved to work on an LTSVP (if spouse is Malaysian or an employment pass holder)
If you are on a student visa he CANNOT WORK
He would need to apply for a job and get an employment pass.
As I understand it current law says he cannot work as a lawyer in Malaysia. Only Malaysians can or those with bi-lateral treaties with home country (ie they swap numbers of work permits).
He would have to work as a non-lawyer in a commercial company.
