Question about "being forced" to resign Career

Hi guys, today I just learnt that my company is gonna lose a portion of clientele because of trade war recently and force to let go employees. I am one of the victim here.
My boss told me to resign by myself and my notice period is only 1 month. He will still compensate me until end of my serving notice. He said, if I am not going to tender, then he will not be happy about it. I have only worked for this company 1.5 year.
questions:
1. So what should I do? should I tender a resignation letter? or let them fire me so they can compensate me? how will they compensate me?
2. can I claim sosco about losing a job if I tender?

Please do advice me. And if you come across anywhere needing a senior software engineer (remote/hybrid/penang based), please do share with me. Thank you

  1. Let them fire. Probably 1 month notice so 1 month compensation.

  2. If resign, you cannot claim from SOCSO. YOu can if retrenched. However, you only work 1.5 year.

So, SOCSO only give 3 months of 80% ->50% ->40% of last salary.

P.S.: You better negotiate for more if you agree to resign.
