I have been in Company D for 1.5years.
On 18th of May, I accepted a job offer from Company G.
On 18th of May, I informally informed my manager that I accepted a new job offer and will leave the company in 2 month time ( 2 month notice as stipulated in contract).

I handed in my resignation letter 2 weeks later on 4th of June officially.
The reason why I only handed 2 weeks later was out of good faith to my manager as he was overseas for 2 weeks (1 week business trip + 1 week vacation).
It was also to allow him a full 2 months to find a replacement.

This didnt sit well with new Company G. But I was able to persuade them to wait an extra 2 weeks on top of 2 month notice.

Three weeks later (25th of June), many attempts to find a replacement failed miserably.
I sat in the interviews, i know.
25th of June, manager requested for me to perform duties out of my job scope that I have been reluctantly perform over the course of 1.5 years ( one of the main reason of my resignation).
Duties out of my job scope driving clients around KL and outstation.
Hence, on the 25th of June (after receiving my June salary), i informed that I wish to leave the company this 26th June after deducting my annual leave.
So instead of 2 month notice, i served one month notice.
Manager reluctantly accepted.

Contract stipulates that 2 month notice is required.
Contract isnt really a contract, its more of an employment & service regulation.
But does not mention anything about compensation to company if employee decides to leave early.
Contract also stipulates that non attendance for 2 consecutive days without reason is subject to dismissal.

Have i been wrong?
