You need to talk to your current employer about your plan to transfer to another company including the tradeoff to waive you to pay the cost incurred of remaining 1 year validity of your employment contract. But bear in mind that local transfer of sponsorship is not a legal right of foreign expat. It is subject to the discretion of the sponsor (employer) and approval of the official authority i.e. MOL, MOI, etc.
