So i am quitting my job and recently i received a letter saying that the company will sue me for quitting my job.

Why?

How can it be possible for someone to get sued for exercising his freedom to quit his job?

No, seriously. Is this common in Malaysia where people get sued for quitting their job? How is this possible?

yes they can.. but not worth it

read your contract, don't expect to be spoonfeed

read ur contract.... but how it can happen ? u leave without notice ?

or u join the same line company who selling same things...

I did, but if the company doesn't like me and is being a burden to the company,

why would they sue me if i want to leave?

can. if u MIA. i did to my employee before. 1 month salary and lawyer fee

Only if you didn't give sufficient notice, or have not returned office property,
or are bonded over training or scholarship.

Other than that, no.

firstly, read the letter properly, on what cause they want to sue you? any breach of contract? have you signed any other contracts with them?

I gave notice and i returned everything.

I gave 2 resignation letters, 1 months notice and yesterday's letter.

Like nearlee said. It all depends on your employment contract. What are the terms for quitting. Did you make any promises to your company about staying? Are you in breach of any conditions? Did they provide you any training?

I doubt i've breached any single contract.

mesti tak baca contract ni, main sign saja

Check at the labour office, maybe they can help.
To be honest, most of the cases, the employer will lose if they wanted to pursue. Already seen several cases in my previous company.

you can type the contract here except company name. Let us read and give further advice

The thing is that i can quit after 6 months probation in a 2 year contract.

I finished 6 months and i want to leave for Perth next month.

I didn't make any promises and i receive no training whatsoever.

some ciplak company mnc always use this thing to scare their employee.

sue u la,....company dun gip shit

Than they just main scare lar. Employees also have rights. If you are sure they have no case against you, tak payah risau lar.

maybe ur company has 3 month resignation notice not 1 month as u mention earlier.

counter sue company back for suing u without a proof
