just to kongsi this thread.

I face the same situation too, my new employer wanted to buy me off unfortunately my current employer refuse the buy-off and wanted me to serve my 3 months notice. My new employer don't mind to buy off my 3months but my current employer die2 want me to work additional 1 1/2 months.

My probation period only 3 months and Jan is my third month, and i haven't receive my confirmation letter yet and they already assume me confirmed staff so hv to serve my 3 months. I told them i did not sign the confirmation letter yet, but they told me it is auto-confirm which is totally bulls###. But... my superior did verbally say will confirm me during my appraisal la.... any ideas? I plan to tell them, i will only give my 1 month notice or see them in industrial court.
