Hi guys, I have a big concern about Release Letter.
I have ended my contract with my former company since May 2020. My plan is to return to my home country, however I have stuck in Malaysia due to Covid-19 and MCO. Now I have found a new job which allows to afford my life expense here while waiting for commercial flight operation. However my former company refused to provide me a Release Letter and said my case is not belonged to their exceptional circumstances.
I have 3 questions:
1) May I know is it legal to not provide an ex-employee a Release Letter?
2) Can I sue them for blocking my opportunity to apply for a new job?
3) Is there any way to process a new EP (transfer from EP III to EP II) without a RL and no require you to exit Malaysia then entering again by a calling visa?
Thanks in advance.
