No.

Also it doesn't matter whether he has AWS or not. Monthly pay means base monthly pay you receive every month at your company.

Including AWS or any other bonuses is retarded. That makes 0 sense. By definition,

monthly pay = base monthly pay. If it's not written on your monthly pay slip, you are NOT earning that amount.

Not sure if the new employer has done the background check. What do you think I should do?
Nothing you can do. Just pray they don't ask you to sign background forms allowing them to perform full background check and check your income tax / CPF etc or ask you for your previous company's payslip.

Imo you're overly worrying about this. Also pretty stupid to assume that companies will pay you close to your previously drawn salary... who told you this ********? like that no one would ever job-hop because they will earn the same amount so why bother?
