I was really surprised to see a failbrand in Malaysia. FYI, they pay their employees in Australia below minimum wage. That's how cost cutting they are. The fabric - low quality.

As a student on a low low budget I'd frequent their shop, but I can't justify paying those prices converted to MYR for them. The only thing I actually liked were their monotone polos and hoodies. But they don't sell hoodies in MY due to the weather.

Oh yeah, and their sizing. Whenever a student club would print their t-shirts, if they were cottonon we'd get them 1-2 sizes bigger for guys, because their sizing was for both men and women. I think I have an XXL which is equivalent to a standard guy's L.

I gotta agree with this person regarding the employment matter. My girlfriend used to work for them. my girlfriend told me they treat their employees like crap. not only that, when payment time, they always make excuses say no money and stuff but still got money to expand and hire new staff.

I think u guys should boycott their brand. Don't think Malaysian only consider cheap price and quality second. How about working ethnic? Their company is listed in retail fashion industry as number one for not paying their staff salary, EPF and SOCSO...Sucks ha?

The best thing..they are racist!!!They don't hire Malay!

agree with the person above. but, you're wrong on certain things. they're not racist and they do hire malays. maybe when you were looking for job, they were full.

lol its funny how malaysian consumers are ignoring the comments above. typical. rather go for cheap and plenty, don't care about the people involved. no such thing as labour laws or whatever here
