You should leave the country as you are here illegally without a work permit or dependent passes. If the company has written to you they should pay you until 12 January. They should have given you 3 months notice BEFORE the end of your visa. Ask them to process your tax clearance immediately.

There is nothing to do unless the company is prepared to request a Special Visa but it is so late now, it will cause problems and may get you deported and blacklisted for 5 years. I suggest you go quietly to preserve your ability to work in Malaysia if that is what you want. So look for another job immediately and get a new EP with another company. You will, however, have to be outside Malaysia while it is processed as that is the rule in your case of expiry of the EP.
