I'm a Sri Lankan working under a training employment pass in Singapore. My pass is valid till 22 March 2017. Last month I applied for a Malaysian visa and was granted a multiple entry visa valid for 4 months starting from November 4th 2016. Even though my pass is valid till March my training period ends and I'll be heading back to Sri Lanka on 5th January 2017. I have booked the flight. I expect my employer will cancel my pass before that.

This document states that my long term pass must have a 3 month validity from the expected date of entry to Malaysia.

My question is, can I visit Malaysia and come back to Singapore on 2nd of January, and enter Malaysia on the transit of my flight home?

There are two separate issues here.

First, will Singapore let you back in? This will depend on what happens to your training pass. If it's still valid, you'll have no problems; but if it's cancelled, you will be granted a Short Term Visit Pass, which is single-entry and will not allow you to return to Singapore. So I suggest you negotiate with your employer to ensure they don't cancel the pass early.

Second, will Malaysia let you in? Here the answer in practice is yes, because you already have a valid visa and they have no way of knowing the original conditions have changed. Now you may be asked how long you're staying in Malaysia, and your visa for returning to Singapore checked, but as long as you have a valid visa and a flight ticket out it's highly unlikely they will care (or even know) about the 3-months-beyond stipulation.
