Some companies especially financial institutions are required to do a background check, this is a regulation from Bank Negara.
For some financial institutions even manpower companies may have to submit background checks for the contractors they provide.
They will then have your personal data after the background check which means they are again required by law to ensure that there is signed PDPA.
Unfortunately if you refuse then you cannot be hired. Again this is from the perspective of financial institutions in Malaysia only
Exactly... but even without PDPA, people in the industry can easily find out your work history. Those who mention no need to tell the work history will definitely not be hired in Finance sector. Trustworthiness and integrity is the most important there.For some financial institutions even manpower companies may have to submit background checks for the contractors they provide.

I see no reason why as there is a need to hide work history. You may not want to reveal all, but sufficient info needs to be given. If I were the employer, I will definitely strike out people who are reluctant to provide job history. It's likely that person is fake.
Having said that, asking for EPF is really too much. Financial history is a complete different story. I personally disagree with the practice, but given that the industry is practicing it, the best one can do imo is to negotiate not based on it. Ultimately, HR will still request for it for "documentation purpose".
