I am currently studying my AS Levels and will move to Malaysia this year to Nottingham University. I will graduate in year 2023 (I think) and I will be 23 years old by then. I am aware that Malaysia has this Min 27 age thing as a foreigner to work there but I've seen some people working below it. I prefer jobs realting to Mechanical Engineering (Automotive, Aero Space, Petroleum etc) but I'm currently worried as fresh grads there are having trouble looking for a job. I don't want to get a job here in Indo mainly because there's absolutely no safety regulations for Engineers here. My second choice is Singapore but I wonder if I can get a job there too. Please help , especially foreigners who used to be fresh grads from Malaysia. I am currently learning Mandarin at a slow pace (Still focusing on my AS levels afterall) and plan to take a Mandarin course at university. For now I am bilingual.

No there is no longer a minimum age. It has been replaced by 2-3 years work experience post degree.

What do you mean by a 2-3 year work experience? I need to have at least 2-3 years worth of experience to be able to work there? I plan on graduating with a Master's Degree on Mechanical Engineering
