Nope. 15 is the mandatory retirement age in Malaysia.

Well you cant legally work till your 16 but if you can work under the personal charge of your parents http://www.icftu.org/www/pdf/clsmalaysia2006.pdf You have to understand that these laws were to protect "children " from hard labour . If you and you wizz kid freinds can convince your parents to agree to some net business do it ! Where ? Cyberspace my dear :)

No.... why ? Because in Malayia, you should be attending school, which is free (National schools) : 6 years primary schools (age 6 to 12), 3 years lower secondary (age 13 to 15) 2 years upper secondary (age 16 to 18). After that, you are free to work.... However, at age 16, if you fail your UPSR and cannot go into form 4, you can work.......

Yes, you can. But there is a limitation, read below: - According to Malaysia labor law, children between the age of 14 and 16 years are * only allow to work between 7 AM until 8 PM * not allow to work for 4 consecutive hours without a period of rest. Period of rest shall be at least 30 minutes * not allow to work for more than 7 hours. If attending school, total working and schooling hours shall not be more than 8 hours a day * not allow to commence work with less than 12 rest hours a day
