Hi everyone,
I am a young Malaysian, 24, recently resigned from my job as i got a really nice offer. My employer submitted the EP application on 23rd of April, and it is closing in on the 3 weeks period to get an EP approved. However my STVP is expiring on 14th of May, this Friday.
My ex-company is not willing to extend my STVP, and urges my new employer to push MOM for expediting the process. My employer has contacted MOM, but they mentioned that MOM will only expedite the process after the 3 weeks timeframe.
I have phoned both MOM and ICA, to no avail as I was told that an extension is not possible. If I leave this friday, I will need to be quarantined in Malaysia, as well as Singapore when I got my EP approved. I am tight on funds and does not really like the idea of it, provided that I am close to getting my EP approved. My previous EP got approved in a weeks time.
What can I do right now? Any advice?
