So you are saying employers can simply take a look at ur EPF account details or Income tax payments and declarations as if they are the owner of it? From what I know and as stated by TS in this post, they do not have any rights to do that and EPF and LHDN also won't let them. But I'm curious if you signed the PDPA, will that let the employers be able to that. From the PDPA form I don't see anything of letting them to do that but I'm not expert in these.

Hi Expert here. Would like to ask.. in my previous 12 years of experiences in MNV never encounter to sign any PDPA before or after gotten the job. Right now , I go into a new MNC company for an interview and the interview went pretty well. Thus , finally this new company HR asking him to sign a PDPA form from the background screening company to check on my backgrounds. My questions is - I am not feeling well to allow them to check on mu background even I have nothing to hide.

My questions is - if I refuse to sign PDPA. Based on HR point of view , I will directly been drop from the new job offering ? Please share your expertise . Thanks.
