Cancel Applied EP application from Agency

This is just another example of a bad employment agency (of which there are many) screwing up things for the applicant. It is always better to avoid them and deal with the employer directly!
You are right, no other work pass can be applied for as long as your current application isn't cancelled. The employer (or their agency) must cancel it as soon as you terminate the employment contract.
If the agency does not respond, you could try to contact the employer about this!
If that also fails, you could contact MoM, explaining the situation and submitting proof (i.e. your termination notice and employment contract showing that you are entitled to a termination before start of work). They might then, at their discretion, cancel the application.

Hi Beppi,

Thanks for the reply.
I managed to call them using wife’s number and they answered. ( cunning people)

They first reluctant to withdraw and told need to discuss with management etc and told it’ll take a week to decide. I called back again next day and sort of told sternly to withdraw it as I don’t wish to continue in anyways.
Within 30 mins they withdraw it.

I’m now looking for new job again. After  wasting 2 months of my precious time. 😒

As I said, it is best to avoid employment agents. In future, better deal with employers directly!
