I received a feedback from my new company that my EP was rejected.
I have my EPEC and i did fulfill the requirement for apply EP.
But why still not approve?
My new company (sole pro) is going the commence at 8th December 2010 and they is hiring me for their first employee.
Total working experience is 3years and 3months.
1years and 3months in Malaysia. (production assistant)
2years in Singapore with S-Pass. (graphic designer)
New company were offer me $2.8k with position (senior graphic designer).
Anyone can help me to figure it out why not approve?

They don't have a track record so MOM is probably not gonna let 'em hire any foreigners until they hire some locals first. That would be my first guess based on the data you have provided.

The company is allow to hire foreigner if the applicant is apply for the EP.

You can ask your potential employer to accompany you to MOM to find out the reason, they are not obliged to inform you, but they are pretty reasonable and will give you an indication if it's the employer that doesn't fulfill the criteria. just go down and ask to see someone. We was refused 3 times, only to find out it was employers fault.

ksl, it's obviously the employers case as the OP has an EPEC already in hand. As the company is a Sole Proprietorship and a new startup, this guy is the first employee. See the other post from the employer
