Do I Have to Terminate My Current Job if My Future Employer is Applying for My Hong Kong Work Visa Change of Sponsorship?

How do you handle the conundrum of keeping your old job whilst seeking permission of ImmD in regard to your Hong Kong work visa change of sponsorship?
QUESTION
I hope you’re doing well. Do I have to terminate my current job if my future employer is applying for my Hong Kong work visa change of sponsorship?
I have received and signed an offer with my future employer and believe I have the qualifications and skills to give me a good chance at receiving a work visa.
However, for my future employer to start my work visa application I was asked to provide an employment reference letter confirming my termination date of my current employer.
This would mean I have to terminate my current job before the visa is granted for my new job.
Please let me know if you could help me out with my questions. Thanks for your time in advance.
