Hello all,

I am a British citizen currently working in the UAE. Me and my wife are thinking of relocating the family to Malaysia. The chances are my wife would be the ''lead partner'' as her company may well arrange a transfer to KL.

Could anybody tell me the rules on women being in the lead role with the husband as a dependent? We also have one child.

I would also like to work once the family is settled. Will this be possible?

I do manage to keep my career going here in The Gulf under the same circumstances, but there are quite a few blind eyes being turned I can tell you.

Any information would be gratefully received.

Many thanks,

Simon.
