In this country, people of different ages can do many things. On the bright side, most foreigners can keep a proper balance between personal life and professional life.

According to Malaysia's employment law, the working time per week is 48 hours. Local people work 8 hours a day, usually 6 days a week. Some multinational organizations allow employees to work five days a week. Normal working hours are from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, but this may vary according to your industry. Although the law stipulates that there are only 10 days of holiday every year, you can enjoy many holidays a year.
