Go do your own self contribution for both employee and employer (11 + 13%) , then submit claim for next month for the employer portion. Unless you are contract based, otherwise do not be stupid and not claim the local benefits. PCB is up to you, else have to pay lump sum duing tax filing.

Disclaimer: It has been some time and rules may have changed now.

I'm hired as permanent employee (not contractor) directly from overseas with a letter I'm paid in MYR equivalent and the company TT into my back account. The company also agreed to follow local laws then, hence I'm entitled to submit and claim back the employer portion of EPF.
I understand in recent years, this is no longer allowed or is illegal.

Submit what claims ? I submitted a lot of claims every month then:
1) Claim back the EPF employer portion I pay. e.g. I self-contribute 1100+1300 = 2400. I claim back 1300 the next month.
2) Claim back the TT forex loses. When it is 5-digits, the forex loses can be tens/hundreds.
3) expenses/meals
4) foreign flight+accomodation
5) local travel/mileage+accomodation
6) benefits.

For what reason ? If I don't do it, I would lose out on the employer portion every month.

I fill up BE at that time as it is not a business.
