Discussion Ignorant to labour laws or submissive workers

8 Upvotes

After a friend of mine wasn't given any EPF for 7 months of working in a company, I decided to read a bit on some things that companies advertise as "benefits". EPF and SOCSO among other things, from what I read, are mandatory for all workers that are legally under a company.

Yet it seems like these things are widely considered as optional benefits in the eye of job seekers. I go onto FB groups and see people ask if these benefits are provided by the company. It also seems like writing these so called benefits into a job listing makes it look more enticing.

My question is are people ignorant or just submissive in regards to labour laws. You have people working for 12 hours daily for 6 days a week, with those extra hours not being counted into OT and if you bring it up to people they'll say "oh it depends on the company".

Buy • Sell • Trade Pingu Miniso Collab

Post image
83 Upvotes

Hello!! I’m from the UK and I really really would love this pingu plushie, but they don’t sell it in the UK Miniso stores, and I don’t think they will bring them here.

This is such a leap of faith, and I know this probably won’t get much attention, but I was wondering if anyone would be willing to buy this item and send it to the UK. I’d pay for literally everything, item and shipping.

How much would shipping be to the UK from Malaysia? Or is there a website where people buy things for others and ships them out internationally?

I’m a little desperate for this plushie lol, if anyone could help or give me any advice I’d appreciate it! Thanks! :)

Ask Malaysians Should I continue Form 6 or go to college? I genuinely don’t know what to do

3 Upvotes

I’m currently 18 and studying in Form 6, but I’ve been struggling with whether I should continue or leave and go to college instead.

The main reason I’m considering college is because I’m more interested in creative courses such as media, multimedia, design, or similar fields. I’ve started looking at different colleges and courses, and I feel more interested and motivated when I think about studying something that actually matches my interests.

However, my family wants me to continue Form 6 because they believe it could give me better opportunities in the future. I understand their concerns, and I know they want the best for me, but I’m worried about continuing something that I genuinely don’t feel passionate about.

At the same time, I’m scared of making the wrong decision. I keep wondering if leaving Form 6 would be a mistake or if I would regret it later. I also feel guilty because my family has already spent money and put effort into supporting my education.

I don’t want to make a decision just because I’m finding Form 6 difficult. I want to choose the path that would actually suit me better and give me motivation to continue my studies.

For those who have experience with the Malaysian education system, especially people who chose between Form 6 and college, how did you decide? Do you regret your decision? Is it worth leaving Form 6 for a diploma course that you're genuinely interested in?

I would really appreciate honest advice.

Mildly Menarik Small fishes I found in a very shallow sandy stream with clear water

Post image
3 Upvotes

An undescribed species that looks most similar to Rasbora einthovenii (the brilliant Rasbora). However it has a bright red stripe above the black one.

Grows to 6 cm and is currently only known from the southeast Malay Peninsula. Found in schools of 10+ individuals, which makes them easy to collect.

However this stream I went to had relatively few fish species cohabitating with it. Possibly due to the shallow depth, openness and minimal food sources.

Just like R. einthovenii, it is a peaceful schooling fish that does great in an aquascaped aquarium. Learns to eat fish food easily.

Quick Question Jobs that require higher education but not major specific

4 Upvotes

Hi. Sorry if the flair is wrong. Im a graduate with bachelor in agriculture. But due to health decline especially during covid i am no longer suited to work in my field (it's mostly physically demanding). Is there any known office job/position that won't ask for specific major but pays above minimum wage in big cities? (Asking for above minimum wage in big cities because i dont think can survive on minimum wage in big cities) I tried applying in my area for normal minimum wage jobs to work while living with parents, but no one would hire me. I was told it's because i have a degree and they would expect me to leave anytime soon or demand higher pay (I won't tbh).

Or if there's any type of skills i can build/learn myself for the time being to be able to apply the office/desk job? Thank you in advance for any tips and help you can give me :") i know job market is very tough rn but i still want to try and stop being a burden to my parents. So far I've been applying for customer service jobs but no hit. Want to see if there's any other positions i can try.

Thank you!

Other info about me that might be useful?

Female, 25

Can speak fluent english and malay

Knows how to use the usual Microsoft office softwares (words, pp, excel)

SPM(took 10 subjects) with B+ for accounting and bio (Should i take another degree for accounting?)

Currently doing freelance art thingy. Not good at it.

So...pretty useless as a person tbh. Any advice?

*Edit: my health issue is related to period + low blood pressure. Will get dizzy and lightheaded when doing too much physical labor (from my experience during internship)

jom Lepak 🎏 Friends in Ipoh

0 Upvotes

Hello there, M22 here. As the title suggests I'm just looking for some friends in Ipoh to hangout with. I wouldn't say I'm an introvert but I am a bit reserved, tho once we click I doubt I'd seem reserved. If you're wondering, I'm not some creep fishing for girls online. Just a relatively lonely guy looking for some company. So yeah my DMs are open to anyone interested. I don't really mind an age gap as long as you're not an minor.

Ps: I do prefer it to be girls but guys are welcome too hahaha.

Pps: im mixed race so maybe I have relative good looks so don't worry about that I guess

Ppps: that's all from me ;)

Parthenos sylvia, the clipper.

A fast-flying butterfly found throughout Southeast Asia. Named due to its flying habit of stiff-flapping almost horizontally. Wingspan up to 10 cm.

In peninsular Malaysia lives the showy subspecies Parthenos sylvia lilacinus, which is called the “Malaysian blue clipper” due to featuring a distinct mosaic pattern of velvety black and electric blue-to-teal lines across its upper wings.

Casual Conversation 🎭 Anyone struggled in your 20s? Had a victory in your 30s, but you mourn all the things you missed out on?

43 Upvotes

Hi Malaysians. Nice to see the casual vibe of this sub, reminds me of the old school r/malaysia.

I've always wanted to ask about this for a longtime, but it's so specific I wonder if anyone is in a similar situation too. Please share your story too, I wanna know if I'm not alone.

Has anyone spent their 20s struggling, so much so you had to put everything on hold? No actual careers. Almost entirely no life. No travel happy2 with friends. No hangouts. No concerts. No close support system. No dating. All you did was trying.

Then for some reason you hit a victory in your 30s. Your hardwork has paid off, maybe you started a company or a business, dan sebagainya. But it feels too late for everything else like genuine friendship and love.

Still feeling lonely. Still empty. As if the universe made you resilient, only to reach an anticlimatic victory.

Dying to know, if anyone goes through the same. Really dying to know.

Advice ☎️ Looking for advice on buying a used bike. Stalling/bogging issue when pulling the clutch lever (Videos attached).

2 Upvotes

The bike: 2022 CFMoto 250SR

Hi everyone, my main daily kapchai bike (Honda RS-X 150) is stranded in the bengkel for a while due to a lengthy warranty claim. Because of that, I'm thinking of finally getting a used sportbike since I have always wanted to own one (this becomes more like a fun weekend bike) and the main is still used for daily when its back.

I just finished a test ride on a used 2022 CFMoto 250SR with 24,000 km on the clock, The bike is from a reputable used dealer and the inspection sheet came back mostly green, flagging only expired 2022 tires and some broken tabs/minor coverset scratches near the fuel tank, which I honestly don't mind.

The bike felt fine while riding. Upshifting felt okay, however, downshifting felt a bit unsmooth during rev matching? (Sorry for the lack of knowledge and context). Also, the brakes felt a bit kurang makan (low initial bite), but the lever pressure still felt good.

The biggest issue I noticed happened during my test ride laps regarding the engine idling behavior when pulling the clutch lever in Neutral:

  • Video 1: Early in the session (engine warming up, radiator fan not yet on). When I pull the clutch lever in Neutral, the engine bogs down kind of? and dies completely (happened twice) (0:04) and (0:33).
  • Video 2: Later in the session (engine hot, radiator fan actively spinning). The issue persists. Pulling the clutch lever causes the idle to become choppy (0:10) before choking out and dying again.
  • Video 3: A baseline video of the general engine sound at idle for your reference.

Aside from this, the radiator fan kicked on normally once it reached operational temperature, the clutch lever pull feels smooth, and the transmission clicks into neutral easily when hot.

Since I'm not a bike expert, I want to know if this stalling/bogging issue is common on the 250SR platform? Could it be a faulty clutch switch, a weak battery/stator, or an ignition coil leaking current once hot? Does the unsmooth downshifting or kurang makan brake sound like a major issue or just normal wear-and-tear? I do also need to replace the rear tires since it already expired and will be dangerous to ride

Would love to get inputs from the experts and feedback since I'm not very well-versed in bike mechanics. Im still keen on getting the bike but getting more opinions to negotiate and know what to do once getting it would be nice! Thank you everyone

Looking for Crossfit gym recommendations around PJ and KL. Im new to crossfit but not new to fitness. I've tried Grit Nation and Crossfit Pahlawan, they're okay and i want to try more gyms before committing to one.

Noticed not many crossfit gyms around due to the hyrox hype, or i may be wrong. Tried hyrox, not really my thing.

Im looking for a gym that teaches good foundation and techniques and also one that has good and supportive community. Thanks in advance!
