Unfortunately I read that only employer can stamp the employment contract.

The employer should bear the cost of stamping, as the contract is typically prepared and executed as part of the hiring process. LHDN also considers the employer as the responsible party in the event of late payment penalties.

Not just starting employment contract. Any supporting document that amends that employment contract also applies (benefit upgrade, promotion, salary increase, resignation, etc.)



There's also penalty that's applied retroactively for 'late' stamping, which let's be real, almost apply to every single employment contract out there.

Seriously a truck load of BS. Not like the labor court / industrial court consider these documents invalid for legal purposes all this while.
