If you would be working for a contract outsourcing company it  is never the best solution. Direct employment is much better. With outsourcing there is high pressure and often problems leaving the company. What I mean by that is to change job a No Objection letter is required and outsourcers are notorious for not providing it.

All it means though is as long as you don't renew your employment pass with them after 1 year and are prepared to leave Malaysia and start again to find work it will be OK.

Tax for first 182 days is flat rate 28%. But the difference between non-resident rate (28%) and resident rate is refundable the following year when tax return is submitted. So it just affects take home pay for 6 months and overpayment refunded about May/June following year.

You can work out tax once considered resident using this guide.

At a rough guess you will be able to save about RM 3000 per month. I imagine there will be no pension contributions when working for an outsourcer

Thanks for the answer. That helps a lot.

The salary is probably a bit on the low side with 5 years experience. RM 9500 upwards is more realistic

I don't know if this would be of any help
