Can we switch job in Malaysia being on a employment pass

The process is that the work permit is put into the employees passport after they arrive in Malaysia (to ensure they take up the job offered, and sometimes not until a probationary period has been successful).  The employer has also had to receive permission to hire the foreigner.

If the employee wishes to change jobs the first company has to issue a release letter. This allows the first employment pass to be cancelled by immigration.  The new employer, who must also have permission to hire a foreigner for the job,  submits the new employees passport to immigration and a completely separate work permit (employment pass) is issued and the first one is cancelled.

It is only possible to hold one permit (pass) at any time.

An employer can make some terms in the employment contract that prevents an employee from working for a competitor before the end of their contract, or can have other regulations about how much notice has to be given. As they are required to issue the release letter, they control the process.
.

As above but realistically who employers usually charge the employer fees (say a month's salary as a penalty or all costs of permit/relocation expenses etc) or refuse unless you are useless and they want rid of you.
