Mdec Approval Letter expired, but VDR is still valid.

Hi, I got my vdr before the approval letter expired and I entered Malaysia on VDR before VDR expires, but the immigration is asking my company to restart the process? WHYYY??

Of course. The approval expired. Immigration can't issue an employment pass stage 2 without a valid Stage 1.

So now I should exit Malaysia again? And will there be any problem in order to get approval again??
