Hi Experts, I am an expat working in Malaysia under a contract of service (not employment contract) with the duration of 2 years. The company is not an MSC status company.

I would like to know that in the case I need to go back to my country, how long is the cooling off period that is applied to me? I already looked up for this information on the internet, some says 6 months, some says 3 months, some says 1 week, some says 3 days, some even says there is no cooling off period because it was removed several years ago..
