From 2nd article
1. Employer cannot force you to take annual leave or unpaid leaves ( if your annual leave not enough to cover the "forced leave period". 
2. Any action from employer not favorable to the employee, cannot be carried out.
3. Unless it is agreed between the employer and the employee in the contract of service or in the collective agreement signed between the management and the union of its employees, it cannot be done.  (note if you getting memo, out of sudden due to certain unique conditions of your company experiencing which required to reduce your benefits, salary, entitlements, a written communication must be made and employee agreement must be obtained in writing)

apa kerja? cuti kene paksa sampai unpaid? means company takder duit. 

So ppl not celebrating those two how??

My current company ditched that practice several years ago since start taking more ppl of various races across different countries. Practice of reopening office on ong days need to die.

The thing about this is, using force leave is the easier way out.

Lets say if the employees want fairness, fine.

Mgmt can decide that those days forced is working day.

But all doors lock, you come and scan only. Wasted trip and resource nothing to do.

I think there is a chance that this company already done survey on all employees. Cause the attendance of the prayer session is compulsory. Sounds like they dont have other non-cina employees.

by the way, pls send your employee to english kelas. thanks.

But if the company has 95% chinese, apa mau buat.

Last time i kena lagi worst.. chinamN company. Late 1 minit will tolak rm 1 from salary
