How to I know just by looking at employment pass weather it's original o fake

Gravitas

You wont know as the fakes are just like real EPs.Take it to an immigration office if you suspect you have been cheated. They are useless pieces of paper, because as soon as they are shown to organisations such as banks and LHDN, none of the data will be correct or even traceable. Worse still immigration officers at airports etc. will immediately know and Detention Centre will be the only destination. There are so many spot checks these days that it probably would not take long before it is found out.

I am in big trouble here coz my agent said he will hand me my ep on Monday....and I hav a doubt dat it might be fake...

If you did not get a job offer, and remained outside Malaysia while Stage 1 clearance was carried out, then, yes, it will either be a fake or immigration rules have been broken anyway.

Currently I m in Malaysia illegally don't know how the agent is getting my ep but he said he will get it on monday

Gravitas

Leave as soon as you can so you avoid detention and a 5 year ban on entering Malaysia. You can't apply for a job and new EP as the fake will be detected. Of course your passport will show you came as a tourist.

Okay one last question is there any online site were I can check the ep is fake o not after getting it

Gravitas

Your employer can tell you.  Only an employer can apply for an EP. They sometimes use agents, but the name of the employer will be on the EP.
