Did you sign paperwork?
If yes I would give this situation a few days and assume you’ve been hired and take them at their word. At the same
time, keep your eyes on opportunities, but I’m not sure I would panic just yet. Delays come for all kinds of reasons having nothing to do with the employee.

Yes, i signed the paperwork. It stated if i failed to report on the first day after i signed the offer letter, i need to pay them 1 month salary and vice versa.

Where are you located? This wouldn't be legal in nearly any circumstance in the US.
Also, since the company delayed your start date, don't they owe you a month's salary? What was their reason for the delay?

Opss sorry, i put wrong information there.
The reason for the delay is HM is on mandatory leave but i have friend in that team which he said the HM is available. It's really sounds fishy to me.
Based on my offer letter, I would owe them a months's salary if i withdraw from the offer but they did not owe anything from me if they failed to onboard me. Anyway, I'm from Malaysia.
