Employment contract - Read carefully before you sign

I recently resigned from an multinational company and the ending wasn't what I'd expected. All the contribution I gave to the company went down the drain. After i resigned, they slapped me with a REMINDER letter about my employment contract. The strange thing was that when I resigned the first time (this is the second time I resigned), I didn't have to go though all that. In fact, first time i resigned, I joined a product solutions company too. No REMINDER letter.

The different of this second time is that I somehow hold a 'managerial' position. The company I joined now is their sister company's client. What amazed me is that they would think that I can't differenciate personal and business. In fact they came up with a law that if I don't sign the letter, they won't release my last salary. What a brave attempt. What they don't realise is I have facts, lots of facts to back up myself. Information that i can give to my govenment and authorities that will affect their business in Malaysia. Word of advice, when you want to sue, make sure you don't have problem with the Malaysia labour law. Word of advice, if you want to sue, make sure you're a local company or foreign company with good reputations.

When a company already had 2 cases that was settled outside the court, 1 case of labour law that had to settle payment in front of a judge, one has to rethink its action against an employee who didn't nothing wrong but contributed much to the company. when a company owe a few months of overdue contributions to EPF and income tax department, one need to realise its pro and con should the company go ahead with legal or commercial action.

The company need to realise that the law in a developing country might be different from the origin country of my ex-beloved company. An example: I have so many good friends who works in international and local advertising companies. When they resigned, they ONLY go to their competitors. Besides that, quite a number of my friends brought alone their accounts too. Trust from their clients enable them to do so. However, I have never heard of anyone suing them, specially this industry is so competitive.

Here's some of the site about labour law:

I might be persive as a gullible person, but I'm not and when I have to defend myself, I am all focus and facts only kind of person. It helps being an honest person.

I will post the clauses from my reminder letter in my coming post.
