Actually, this is very true... Mainly because in schools and college or uni, students are not thought to think in such ways...

Malaysian bosses believe that employees = slaves... The moment you don't OT, they question your loyalty to the company... Even by law, employees cannot work more than 48 hours in a week (if I'm not mistaken)... And yet, you can see the enforcement is so bad... You'll find that employees are not willing to compromise since they've got no choice...

But most Malaysians don't see this is the root cause of all those racial problems..

Exactly... In Malaysia, bosses will claim, "why reduce productivity??? Force employee stay back and work 12 hours... Afterall, we paying big salary (when actually, the employee is only earning peanuts)"...

Ya la... Most companies are like that in Malaysia... Plus, there's no cap on extra working hours... Government should do something about it... Kids are growing up without even seeing their parents at home... That's just sad...

Dude... you misinterpreted my statement... I'm not condemning engineers la... I'm talking about employment in general...

I'm not an engineer, so I'm can't talk about engineers... But yeah, I'm talking as in, Malaysian Bosses in general... I remember when I was working, my boss will give assignments and task until cannot finish during working hours, have to stay back extra 4 - 5 hours a day... Plus OT paid and no medical claim...

I've had some really bad experiences in that company... Its a fact... Malaysians aren't getting paid for the effort they put in... Malaysian bosses usually don't recognize the hard work employees put... I know this cuz I've seen really shit stuff in front of my eyes...

R u a some sort of manager? lol!

I've worked for both Malay, Chinese & Indian bosses... All oso the same... They get the credit even though sometimes the employee is the one safe their butts...

Its got nothing to do with race... Personally, you've got some serious issues...

For example, if you look at Banking sector, their employees are pretty much protected... Like when I was working in a VERY prominent bank in Malaysia, max OT is 2 hours, basic RM 2000, OT is 1.5, 2.0 and 3.0... Great right? But only for execs... Clerks, well they getting less than that but they are still pretty much covered...

But in another company I was working in, they were abusing employees to the max... I used to work like 12 hours a day and 6 days week... Audit time worse, had to stay longer... The reason is, boss will give work cuz got limited time... Directors expect everything immediately... So because of that, the boss force employees to work long hours but we don't get paid OT or aren't even given Medical benefit... salary was around RM 1500...

One more person working in that company for nearly 15 years working under same condition but salary was RM 1200... Somemore, nearly 50 years of age, hubby retired and due to medical reasons, can't work... Plus got 3 kids who are still in primary school...

You can't say Malaysians are generally lazy... That's not fair... But if they are, when you see companies like these, can you really blame Malaysians not having the motivation to work harder? In fact most of them should be depressed... Work hard, earn peanuts, no time for kids... That kind of life, you should go insane...
