lesson learnt...

yeah..so I have been down & demotivated inspite of trying to move on, most people still tell me not to bothered to do anything more for the bank...and today, I told one of my uncle about how the bank is treating me by taking away my bonus

Uncle M: Dear SHAZ, All the best to you and have a good BREAK before you start. NAK PI MANA 14 HARI???

SMZ:Thanks…I’m going to Singapore from 1st to 4th of May, and then no plans till I start on the 12th… Can’t do anything much, the bank is taking back my advance bonus given in Dec 08, so this month I’m working without any pay for them to recover back the 1 month bonus paid. They are disgusting..! I resigned after the financial year ending 31st Mar 09, which means that bonus, is rightfully mine for the last year performance.

and this is a good advice and nice to hear...

Uncle M: Dear SHAZ,For what they did to you, they will be answerable to ALLAAH and they will pay heavily for this….

More so if the bank is owned by a Muslim… Since the money is rightfully yours. So now you know WHY we should not slog like a dog when we work for companies – may it be ANY company.

In fact I tell my own staff always that they should NOT work 1 min more than the 5pm deadline to go home and on Saturday and Sunday unless they are PAID for the extra hours and time taken…. I make sure my staff get their bonuses even if they are leaving HALFWAY the financial year just to show that we are DIFFERENT from others and to surprise them with our way of ‘giving”…..

These are small things they will value when they experience the other side of life….

Again we ask ALLAH to make our employees benefit from what they do and we pay all our staff a commission for their sales done to others and friends. I have a clerk who earns about RM300-350.00 per month on commission…. It means, not only sales staff enjoy commission, but all so as not to deprive them of an income based on selling our products and taking the trouble to do so!!

We do things differently. Some of our staff benefits include:-

1. Interest FREE loans up to RM5,000.00 paid within 12-18 months based on their salary and affordability.

2. The above loan is applicable every 5 years after first loan. If the amount is less than 2k, then every 3 years.

3. We pay for down=payment for house loans to banks and car purchases – also INTEREST FREE.

4. We pay them MINIMUM 1 month Bonus even if we make a LOSS for that year.

5. We give all workers in the factory a FREE Annual PAID Holiday for them and their Family to any Malaysian destinations including Insurance coverage and pocket money. (Only applicable to those production operators and supervisors earning below 1K).

6.We give them RAYA Money based on what we can give – maybe 100-200 per worker during their own festive celebrations.

7. For HARI RAYA we give them extra 4 days FREE HOLIDAYS to make the closure a full 1 week with the 4 days weekends making it a full 9 days off over and above the 2 days of Public Holidays. (ONLY for HARI RAYA AIDIL FITHRI).

8. For those who work on Saturdays or Sunday (especially for the exhibitions and Fairs) we pay them RM100.00 per day for ANY staff. On top of that we give them FREE Lunch and Tea.


JUST to share some of the benefits my employees get. Some of the have worked with us for more than 15 years and still going. So our staff turnover is almost ZERO. We train and re-train them always and they become smarter and smarter every year!! This is our pleasure in seeing them reaching better positions within the company. We have built for them a Surau that is fully made of wooden paneling and they always look forward to go for prayers there (Opened only from 1.00pm to 2.00pm & 4.00pm to 5.00pm – so that they don’t misuse of make it their Hotel room!!)

All our Muslim workers who join us will eventually wear the HIJAB based on their seeing what is practiced in the company and become good muslims based on the weekly “ceramah” given to then ladies during the FRIDAY 3 hour break we have ( One hour for Ceramah and 2 hours off). On Fridays, we close from 12 noon to 3 pm to allow all male employess to go home to bathe and go for prayers. The ladies can also go home but they prefer to stay back for the ‘ceramah’.

I’ve never shared this with anyone but just to tell you we have such companies in Malaysia….


nice to know that there are good companies in Malaysia and that the staff is being appreciated... I wish my next destination have at least some this quaities...
