Re: [Legal in Malaysia] New comment on Small Claim Court: Do-It-Yourself (DIY).

Hi,

My question is simple if your not entitle for the bonus why the company made the part payment?

Second question, how could confirm that the bonus paid is only half of it? What if the company say that it was all bonus they offered. 

Anyway, I could not go into detail your matter as I do have much info. 

However, as long as your claim fall within the scope of small claim court. Why don't you give a try.

I was working in this company from 2007 - 2009. In 2007 & 2008, the management withhold part of our bonus said they will release that portion (0.5 months) when we pass our company's internal audit. But the audit was deferred and i left the company in Nov 2009 before they paid the bonus which is in Dec 2009.

I was thinking, since i had performed my work for 2007 & 2008 which helped towards the completion of the audit, shouldn't i be entitled to my portion although i had left before the payout? It was not my fault the 2007 & 2008 audit was being deferred to 2009.

I called up my manager and ask but he said that because i had left, i am not entitled to the bonus.

Do you think i have a case here for small claims or will i just be wasting my time?

Appreciate your advice. Thanks!

Small Claim Court: Do-It-Yourself (DIY)

Salam, Last post I have explained on how simple it would be to claim ' dishonored ' cheque from the drawer in court. And now, in this post I am going to show you another simple claim that everybody can do by themselves. It is normally called 'Small Claim Procedure'. So make it easier to understand, let me put it in point form. What is 'small claim procedure'? Small Claim Procedure is where an individual (not agent or company or person holding power attorney or etc) wants to claim from someone else (debt) using court procedure, i.e. suing in court of law. The total amount of claim must not exceeding RM5, 000-00 The claim must be made through summons in Magistrate Court No lawyer can get involve in this small claim proceeding … (that's bad for me…hehehe), everything is done by the plaintiff himself (person who is suing) with the guidance of court (staff). To illustrate, if B owes A RM 5, 000-00 and B refuses to pay, A can sue B in Magistrate court under this

Hire Purchase: Car Repossessed?

Salam, I have one assignment yesterday regarding one poor chap's car repossessed by his financier. His case is straight forward but one that typical type of problem, the brief is simple:- This guy has a car which is still under hire purchase He defaulted for more than 3 months which gave the bank rights to repossess his car under the Hire Purchase Act, and the bank did. The car was kept at one store somewhere in Penang for 2 months pending auction. He however managed to settle his overdue installments (after getting some soft loan from friends) and wanted to bring out his car. Too bad, somehow when he tried to get back his car from the store, he noticed that some (quite substantial) 'things' and parts of his car is no longer intact. He did a complaint to his bank and then lodged a police report. The police due some reasons (God knows why) asked his just to refer back to the bank and had done nothing till date, in fact he was advised by the police to settle the matter direc
