if you work and stay more than 182 (or 190?) days inside Malaysia, then you need to pay M'sia tax, especially if SG company pays you via TT in MYR.

if SG pays you in SGD into SG bank account, then you may need to check your employment contract if you need to pay tax in SG or in MY, but not both. MY & SG has double-tax-agreement. If your SG co says you no need pay tax in SG, then you will need to declare/pay in MY.

so if you be at other country for 191 days you no need to pay? that can save a lot lol!

EPF is not related to tax income issue.

It can be treated you as company in Malaysia provide service (contractual) to an overseas company, and receive contractual payment from the overseas company.

it's good to pump small portion to epf coz it has high percentage of return
