You just need to work out the date when you will have been in Malaysia for 182 days so that you can be considered tax resident.

You claim before you leave with a Leavers Certificate from your employer and a Residents Certificate. It takes about 10 days to get finalised after one visit to LHDN. You also need to get your employment pass shortened and the employer does that. You need to buy a flight ticket indicating your departure date.
