QUOTE(M4A1 @ Jul 19 2019, 02:32 PM) normally if ur salary is not very high, let said less then 2.5k company will apply s pass or ep so 50-50 to get either 1 but if ur salary is quite high , said 3k n above...99% is EP. Not really, mine 3k+ still s-pass, perhaps I'm just Diploma holder. In other forum, I even saw Indian nationality got 6k+ salary still holding s-pass

Malaysian tend to be easier to get ep while another nationality esp (ind/ch/ph) is harder.

Bank transfer too many hassle and charges

But most agents want u to get yr medical check up passed then they sign with you
