Malaysia: Dependent Pass and Work pass

Greetings!
Currently I am looking for a suitable job in Malaysia (11 Years Exp- India).
Reason for Relocation- My wife has been transferred to Kuala Lumpur so I would like to shift there as well.

My Query:
Please let me know if my wife has a work permit and I get a dependent visa, do I need to apply for a separate work permit? or the Dependent pass can be endorsed as Work pass ? 

Thanks in Advance!
Regards
Debo

Hi well the government did bring in the idea that a dependant pass could be endorsed with the right to work after obtaining a job offer.

Never met anyone who got one though! Problem I guess is that if you get a good job then a work permit is possible so why bother just get own work permit.
