The question was posted in Yahoo! Answer and received many answers. But the best answer is this:-

“Yes. Students are allowed to work part time jobs.
If you’re a local you just have to show your local identity card & academic certificates (<– whn required) made copies of it and submit along your applications.

If you’re a foreigner, make sure you have valid visa student card & request your residental academic instituations be it college or University for LETTER OF RECOMMANDATIONS. This is to avoid you from running into laws/rules & regulations as a student. I’m sure you don’t want to get into trouble thn. get kicked out right?

Among the jobs you can do:-

To Lynn – to compare Giant & Pavilion is like comparing a normal budget hotel to a 5 star hotel.

Of course the pay is different, even the cost of expenses to go there & eat there is more.
Especially during holiday seasons, they hv. to work longer hours *even including weekends & public holidays* so it’s only rational Pavilion pays more since they can afford that”
