Implications of not claiming an EP after it is approved

[Edmund Cardie]

Will there be any negative implications if I do not claim my employment pass even though MOM had already issued an in-principle approval letter?

It says in the letter that if the EP is not claimed within 6 months then the application will be deemed as withdrawn. So I guess it will just cancel by itself.

However, will it have any negative implications such as if I decide to apply for an EP again some time in the future (i.e. a few years later)?
