Dont overburden yourself its pointless. If you want to take arts drop science.

why burden yourself to do something tat will not benefit u in the future?
if you have more interest in art then choose art instead of science.

You can study art on your own time honestly. That's what i did. There's lots of information you can find off of youtube or deviant or reddit. Start with basics and boom you might get somewhere

trust me once u start working nobody really cares about how many subject you take and how many A's u scored.. maybe it'll help during interview but then again you need more time spend in preparing for the interview as well, hope it helps!

First, you must determine why you want to study so many subjects. If your goal is to get 12 straight A+ in SPM, I recommend you don't. Many of my classmates did the same thing during my time. They desired as many A+ as possible. Even the school principal required all science students to take an extra art class to increase their A+ grades. It was highly intense and stressful. I don't believe there is a need to do so. It only benefits the school's reputation (as well as the reputation of the teachers and principal). It will, however, put a lot of pressure on you to perform well in SPM.

If your goal is to broaden your horizons later to choose specific art subjects like accounting and economics, you should give it a shot if you can manage it. It may not be worth the effort, but if you are truly a competent student who is very talented in studies, has great determination, and has a mind that is above-averagely matured, I would encourage you to take additional subjects. However, keep in mind that even if you do not take art subjects in the science field, you can still switch to arts later in your degree.

If you are only interested in art and dislike science, you should probably switch to the art stream. Malaysian careers are more oriented toward the arts. Malaysia has a scarcity of science careers. As a result, if you dislike science, entering into the art stream is not a bad idea. My opinion is that you should study science only if you want to be a doctor, engineer, pharmacist, or dentist. Otherwise, switch to art and concentrate on business, finance, accounting, marketing, etc. These paths will never die, as they have a high employability rate and a decent salary.

If you prefer pure arts such as fine arts, dancing, and so on, it is not a problem to pursue these fields later on, but you must be responsible for your own decision. Since you're in Form 3, either science or art will not jeopardize your future, but if you still want to pursue a science career, please choose science. Taking both science and art subjects, in my opinion, is highly discouraging because it only adds an unnecessary burden to students, which eventually leads to depression.

if u like arts, u can do it as a hobby

try to avoid doing something which may affect your overall SPM results unless you are very very very sure u r able to score straight As.

so I guess you are in science stream as a precautionary measure for better career prospect in the future. In that case, like forumers said if you are passionate about arts, can always study on your own. When you ultimately decided to study arts in uni, a science pre-u qualifications wont disadvantage you. And I don't think being worried about falling behind your peers with arts background is a concern. e.g. I took some political science courses during my undergrad(major is engineering). I do lots of readings on pol science and as such, I was able to follow along well
