They will do back end documentation that you get 3k pay but actual is 2k.. the differences of 1k they will use to offset tax/etc..

Can lodge a report with the police AND immigration.

Minimum salary for expat is RM5,000 - and you're being underpaid.

Check your employment contract, if its stated 3k then you have legal case,

If not, then trace any promises like messages, email, whatsapp etc that promises 3k pay.

It not, its too bad..
