Can a Chinese married to Malaysia work?

The Malaysian government’s immigration policy is very harsh, especially for Chinese. Therefore, if you marry in Malaysia, you cannot easily obtain citizenship. You can only obtain a residence permit, which must be renewed every six months. The review process is very troublesome every time, and every couple is regarded as a suspect of fake marriage.

Without citizenship, you cannot legally enjoy all the rights and interests of citizens, including work. It should be okay to open a store in your husband's name and help you run it. But it’s very troublesome anyway.

In the event of divorce in the future, it will be very difficult to fight for the rights and interests of the couple such as property and child custody.
