Can Indians in Malaysia work in fast food (burger) restaurants?
Here in Canada there's so many Punjabis (sikhs) that work in burger restaurants. Its like they don't care about it at all. I know Malaysian Indians consider the cow as holy. But do they actually handle beef patties? This is a serious question

Sikhs don't consider cow anymore holy than a buffalo or any other cattle/animal.

When it comes to survival without better alternatives in sight, even Muslims will have to start eating pork. This is my point. The same applies to the Sikhs in Canada as well. When they have no choice to earn an honest living in a foreign country that eat beef as the norm, they will have to break the rules in order to stay surviving. Or else, being too stringent with the rules will just be counterproductive. At least, they refrain from eating the beef, which is still acceptable. They only handle the patties as part of their job to earn a living. They are not involved in slaughtering the beef, cooking them, or even eating them.

try taking a look at Burger King @ KLCC... most of the staffs in the kitchen are Indians.. and Burger King has great beef burgers.. i guess they are not as fanatic as the malays... where they don't mind handling the food but not eating it. Just like the UITM students taking up veterinary. They need to handle pigs and dogs as a training.

Yes they do. They just handle it like the rest of the staffs. There are Chinese that don't eat beef & there are many Malaysians Indians that eat beef too (e.g. Christians/Muslim convert). Same goes for many industry. Just to share with you this... Did you know there are many shoes, bags, watch, even pen casing & etc. made of leather e.g. pig skin, cow & etc. I went to Midvalley's sports stores to get some hiking & sports shoes. I noticed there's a trend/pattern of how some store assistants hold the shoes & etc. e.g. take plastic/paper to offer the shoe & only hold the inner lining. Initially I thought wow very gentlemen/polite manners, so I chatted with them. It's only then I found out that, by that method they don't come in direct contact with pig skin & etc. (besides hand contact - sweat/oil not good for the goods) I further inquired what if they accidentally touch or have to use it. e.g. certain balls uses animal skin & polo boots uses pig skin as it's extra soft & durable. They said it's ok, as long as they wash their hands later before eating & not consuming it in anyway.

Can a Muslim in Malaysia work in the alcohol industry? As in own and distribute alcohol
Can a Muslim in Malaysia work in the alcohol industry? As in own and distribute alcohol?
I'm curious to know if there is a restriction, whether the islamic law applies to just Malaysian muslims or all muslim in the country.

Of course Islam is of one standard. Legally it's probably alright, but if you want to stick up for your faith, well...
2 :
I am not familiar with Malaysia. But in other predominantly Muslim countries such as Kuwait, Syria, Bahrain and elsewhere. Only non Muslims can drink or buy alcohol. I am going to assume the same applies to sale and distribution. A Muslim breaking alcohol restrictions in Malasia would be subject to Sharia, the religious court. I imagine facing a caning. Not a good idea. And converting to another religion not an option. Many Muslim countries deal with that by beheading.
3 :
The consumption of alcohol is completely forbidden in Islam and so is selling and you shouldn't work in an alcohol industry either, and income derived from alcohol sales is also haram.

does xbox games bought in malaysia work on xbox bought from Australia?
I'm aware that xbox games in Malaysia are cheaper. i'm going there soon and was wondering if they are compatible in all ways (xbox live, online playing, etc) when playing on an Australia xbox. I'm not very certain about the PAL/NTSC stuff. and i'm talking about ORIGINAL xbox games from Malaysia, costing at a legitimate >$100 ringgit mark.

It should be the same, though the language might be a bit off.

Hi Anis, to get PR in Malaysia is not easy in short period unless you can contribute something to the country, but to apply work permit I suggest that you apply any job related to your expertise whether with Malaysian Company or Foreign Co which need you to be based in Malaysia, this company will be your guarantor in application your permit as every foreigner work here need a guarantor. If u just come without any confirm proper job then you might facing problem likes the company will hire you without any proper documentation. There's another way, maybe you get marry to Malaysian, this true but if i were you I wont choose this way.

It is quite imposible to obtain PR in Malaysia, even if you are married to a Malaysian. Unless you can contribute something extraordinary ... For a work permit, you need a confirmation of employment( one which no Malaysians can be found to do it) .... Improvwe your English...and have a working knowledge of Malaysia's official language - Malay. You should be in good health. with no criminal records (INTERPOL will check...)

Forget about getting Malaysian permanent residency for the time being, it's not that easy. Sorry to say, i think it would be a little difficult for you to secure a job related to your studies if you want to come here as a professional. Most Malaysian companies only employ foreigners if they are skill in specific fields like engineering, nursing, technicians etc but for someone with a degree with a commerce, i would say it is a little difficult to secure a job here. Anyway, difficult doesn't mean impossible, you may try to look for a company that wants to hire you. Once you are hired, the company will apply working permit for you. On this working permit, you don't have to worry because you just need to get your passport ready, a medical checkup report, copy of your degree and other relevant documents and a few photo of yours. At the moment almost all the Pakistani who are working in Malaysia enter Malaysia with a working permit as "unskilled workers". I don't think this is suitable in terms of nature of work and salary. Anyway if you want to go through this channel, it's easy, just go to any employment agency in Pakistan that send workers to Malaysia. They'll will find the employer for you, you don't have to go searching yourself. You may also ask them if they have any employer that wants to employ professional, if yes that it would be very easy for you. However the probably charge you a very high fee.
