"Starting a contract of service
The contract is in effect when the new recruit turns up for work on the appointed starting date.

If the recruit fails to turn up:

The Employment Act does not apply, as the employer-employee relationship did not start
The employer cannot claim notice pay or any compensation in accordance to the Act
Any claims for compensation by the employer will have to be a civil claim through a lawyer"

yes. signed and dont turn up without prior notice will confirm be blacklisted.

but showing interest in the verbal offer and then reject eventually is perfectly fine, you will not be blacklisted. don't worry.

ps: HR didn't commit anything to you either when they make a verbal offer. the verbal off you rcv is for them to put up approval paper to hire you. at that point in time, they cant even give you a confirm designation and salary.
