you are not supposed to and illegal to do that. if you generating your productivity in Malaysia, you need to pay Malaysia tax..
i was working from home during MCO period. syukur LHDN prihatin and waived all the taxes for the productivity i generate in Malaysia during that period.

Now border is opened, your daily travel needs to resume. My work can perform remotely (as i already did it for more than 2 years) but i still do my daily travel.
If LHDN finds out and wants to be anal, you will be in deep shyt...

There was once a minister said "passport is a privileged and not an entitlement". All they have to do is remove this privileged for you and you are screwed.

as long as you step foot in malaysia even for 1 min, its calculated as a day. The 300k daily traveler spend more than 300 days in Malaysia. We also spend more than 200 days in SG.

i think i studied this extensively during MCO and when the border open to understand how a country calculate the tax resident status of an individual..
perhaps you can explain more on your understanding.

There are tax treaty for income derive outside malaysia doesn't need to pay local income tax if we have paid the foreign tax . That's why i said we cannot generate our productivity in Malaysia and earn SGD.
The law you mentioned were postponed to 2026. I went and read thru all those when they wanted to introduce this law in Jan 2022. went as far as consulting a tax agent as well. Until 2026 there is no issue transfering money back.

The problem now is if the productivity is generated in Malaysia and you are employed as a SG headcount. both your employer and the employee can be fine by Malaysia gov.

As for TS case, hope that he gets paid in RM with SGD convert instead of getting SGD and trying to do illegal stuff. My friend gets a job in SG pre-covid that wfh. Due to this tax issue, the company offered to pay her via an agency in Malaysia the same rate she got paid in SGD under Malaysia payroll.
