Plz clarify once again...
i was in Malaysia with ABC company from Jan 2019 to June 2019(non resident)
in my ABC company 28 % tax being deducted from Jan to June-2019
Again i have got a job offer from XYZ company
and i have come back to Malaysia in July 2019 and now i have completed 183 days.
I guess i have become resident .
So it is possible to file the tax for the amount which is been deducted from last employer(28 % tax from jan to june) ?
I don't know how you have acquired 183 days from July to now? Are you adding together the ABC period with the XYZ period? You are allowed to do that. See example 3 (Evelyn)

I don't think jay it matters if you change companies are on different visas. The only criteria is being present on legal visa (which you were). That could even be going from an employment visa to student visa or married social visa and not working during that period. For the purpose of residency it simply has to be physical presence (I'm not sure if a tourism pass is allowable, however...that may be tricky).
So at tax-time request a refund of the tax paid at 28% (your company /companies will not care...they've already paid it) to whatever it will be based upon your combined income from the two companies for the tax year.
