Expired Work Permit

Hello everyone,

I was to fly out to Malaysia for work, everything were ready but the last minute I was advised by HR that my work permit has expired. 

I have already the single entry visa stamped on my passport, but the work permit expired about two weeks before my supposedly flight. Can I still enter Malaysia as the visa already in my passport? Or the approval letter which was already expired would need to presented in the immigration?

Next course of action case above is not possible?

Thank you,
ara

The Visa Approval Letter is valid for 3 months. I think the employer needs to reapply if you did not travel within this time.
