Does residential day for expatriate affect her tax rate?

My company has an expatriate working with us since november 2017. And now she tendered resignation and would like to leave malaysia on 5/7. Since this is not her first year in Malaysia, is it confirm that her residential day in Malaysia wont affect her tax rate for this year, which is follow the normal malaysian tax rate?

So long as a person in an expat, they have to complete this tax obligations in Malaysia even if they decide to stay put here after leaving employment. It does not matter is they are classified as tax resident or otherwise. The company will be also held responsible by immigration and tax department if the process is not observed. So please insist that this person completes their regulatory obligation. If they refuse, please withhold their final salary as required by law.
