Rocelyn Deserve Her Salary

Rocelyn Tubal Reneses is fighting for her right to against her former employee Port View Seafood Village Sdn Bhd of wages/salary amounting RM4,232.70. This cases have been in Labour court and move on to High Court, still Port View Seafood Village Sdn Bhd still disputing the wages/salary claim by Rocelyn.
I think, I'm agree that the overtime rate is based on the basic salary but unnecessary deduction for work pass, hair clip, walkie talkie and uniforms is too way far. Even if they are contract staff the company should provided those item. What a stingy restaurant.
Besides that, the restaurant also dragging this issue for quite sometimes by not attending court hearing as they know her visa expires on 16 Nov 2010.
We hope the court ruling is in favor to Rocelyn. As a human, she deserve what she had work for. And as for the restaurant, don't just making money out of others misery and taking advantage of poor uneducated people.
People should boycott this restaurant for treating their employer badly. Shame on you Port View Seafood Village Sdn Bhd. Shame on you.

Sabah Still The Poorest State

Referring to Online Daily Express report on 11 Nov 2010, World Bank reported that Sabah still the poorest state in Malaysia. Many Malaysian know this as well as Sabahan themselves.

It sad to see Sabah is still rated one of the poorest state. In my opinion, the reports correctly said that majority of the poor family are located in rural area. Most of them are working on their own to support their family. If they are working for somebody, the pay is not enough to support their family. One example, when i was working in Keninagu, the security guard pay to for a month to look after our office is only RM400. What you can buy with RM400 now days? If you have kids and it definitely not enough.

Our government have a long way to increase standard of living for this rural area as majority Sabahan still staying in rural area. There is a lot of infrastructure need to be build before we can achieve this. We hope the government really look at this issue.

No comment or suggestion from me as this is a very broad topic.
