hi realistically you cannot work as so many restrictions.
And with a masters degree you won't have time. Pay is 5.50 rm per hr typically so 20 hrs is 110 rm per week or less than 500 per month. You need 3000 rm per month to live off so hardly worth it.
And Malaysian MBAs are no better than fillipino ones. So why bother with the extra hassle?

It depends upon the school for the Master's program. I'm intending to apply to a associate college of an recognized college globally in Malaysia. And this may help me to obtain a masters even if i don't go to the main branch of the school(UK), that is my purpose. The less expense is what I'm after, basically Malaysia will help me save some money in terms of expensesand tuition fees compared to UK.
