If the contract is silent and the employee is covered under the Employment Act, the notice period is minimum 1 day.

Follow the Employment Act or your company current practice.

It should be 24 hours if not mistaken.

As per MOM guidelines, the following applies:

If you and your employer did not previously agree on a notice period, the following applies:

Length of service - Notice period

Less than 26 weeks -  1 day
26 weeks to less than 2 years - 1 week
2 years to less than 5 years - 2 weeks
5 years and above - 4 weeks
