I’ve been with my company for almost 14 years and recently, I’ve been hit with a situation that’s left me fuming. I submitted a claim for around RM 54,000 for various expenses related to a China Factory Test I paid for upfront. These expenses included things like hotel, food, and travel for 11 people, plus 3 months of monthly expenses (petrol, tolls, phone bills, and entertainment). The total was about RM 40,000 for the factory test-related expenses and the rest for the other monthlies.

Here’s where it gets weird: the company’s finance team has now withheld RM 54,000 from me, citing things like a RM 900 JPJ fine (reduced to RM 450) and a RM 1900 MPPJ fine (reduced to RM 600) as reasons for the withheld the claims. These are small amounts in the grand scheme of things, especially when you consider the total claim.

To make matters worse, I feel like I’m fighting alone here. My direct boss (Executive Director) is aware of the situation, but he’s acting like it’s no big deal and hasn’t done anything to help me resolve this. The finance team seems to be imposing new requirements out of nowhere. After working with this company for so long, it feels like I’m being treated unfairly.

Has anyone here dealt with a situation like this?

I can move out of this company, but it feels like they win. Should I reach out to a lawyer? I fear, going to a lawyer will only result in them asking me to settle this amicably. The thing is, I usually get away with things by talking to the MD directly.

I dont want this. I want to win, while I can find job outside, I want this to escalate so bad, it results in her getting fired.

I clear my saman . I pay .. my question is can they withheld my claims though because of this ?

my Saman cannot claim . they hold my monthly claims I submit averages between 2800 to 3000 . So usually I fork out my own money , especially when comes to entertaining client ..

usually we don't have this issue , finance just pay up . only recently being anal about it , insist Ur car have majilis so we are not processing your claims .

because busy

no I'm not claiming the saman . the Saman I eventually got discount from jpj and Majilis .

this is why I didn't settle immediately. I usually collect and request for discount .

don't want to go to him every time .

ok I'm going to summarize this .

A) Im not claiming Saman from the company .
B) there is no issue with my claims . my claims I'll submit following proper procedures .
C) finance refuses to release my claims due outstanding car saman.
d) my car Saman is negligible when compared to my claims .

the car im using belongs to the company .
