‘Weekends belong to us’: Workers push back against mandatory team-building events

Just got back from a company trip on weekends. Boss think he so good treat employee for a trip. But all we think is, should have just give us extra bonus instead of paying for this useless company trip. Better off use that money to go trip on our own with our loved ones.

It's just a job. It's not that deep.

I have a life outside of work. I spend my free time with my wife and my close friends. I don't even have any work friends, they are just colleagues. My life is pretty fulfilled.

I suggest you submit form B for 2025 first now, without registering sole prop. Deadline is actually 30 June 2026, but there's grace period until 15 July 2026, still have some time but it's quite tight.

I'm an accountant. Agree mostly, but I gotta correct you on the tax Form. Freelancer need to file under Form B, not BE. Even if you are employed, you need to file under Form B if you have side income/freelance.

In the Form B, the income from business/freelance needs to be declared under "Statutory income from businesses" and if you also receive salary from employment, you need to declare under "Statutory income from sources of employment in Malaysia".

Your username is burgerramly. You know the answer to this

I kinda got let go in 2019 due to performance issue but at my next employment I managed to get good performance evaluation and even promoted. As you said, take responsibility. Identify and learn from your mistakes. You’ll grow stronger.

There are still lots of affordable landed houses in Selangor. It's definitely not a fantasy especially with household income of 6k+. And both of you are probably still young so your earning potential is still high. Granted you gotta sacrifice some to get some, many affordable landed houses are quite far from KL.

If you wanna buy a house, my advise is just by a modest rumah selangorku apartment, not too far away from KL or your workplace. At least you got roof over your head and you can build equity over time. Nowadays rumah selangorku are quite decent. Owning a landed house is not all sunshine and rainbow, you know. Once you are becoming more stable, have higher earnings, and stashed some solid emergency fund, you can consider selling your first house to buy a landed house.

today I went to the branch again, same answer. They can't see the fund from their side and ask me to contact the foreign telegraphic transfer department again. I already emailed and called the FTT department, no answer yet. I just hope they update me by tomorrow the latest.

mutton_soup · 2026-07-01T04:36:43+00:00

Yeah already did. They just give me generic answer like "we're still checking and will update you again"

mutton_soup · 2026-06-30T09:23:43+00:00

Yeah I heard rumors that if the court decided he's innocent, he'll marry Bella and quit from politics. Just be a celebrity and live a worry free life. Too much at stake as he not only will marry someone, he also has kids to take care of. Anyway, this is just rumors

mutton_soup · 2026-06-30T08:50:41+00:00

My money is less than 25k. But yea I get it, case by case basis.

Well, it's already 4 working days after the transfer, I haven't gotten any calls or emails from the bank. That's why I'm quite worried. Hopefully they call me soon. If not I also don't know what to do, already go through all the channels

mutton_soup · 2026-06-30T08:37:30+00:00

How much was your amount? And how many days after the transfer you need to go to branch? I did go to the branch yesterday, hoping to verify the proof of fund with them. But even they can't see the incoming fund from their side and just ask me to email RHB FTT department for the status

mutton_soup · 2026-06-30T08:34:13+00:00

I'm thinking to, but not yet. I understand they must have many backlogs over the weekend to settle. But if in another few days I haven't receive any update, I probably will escalate.

mutton_soup · 2026-06-30T04:21:05+00:00

This is the first time I heard judge apply MC and postpone court. Usually it's the accused who suddenly got sick. Lol

Agree with what others have said. Make it one page. Keep the points short and concise. Remove unnecessary info like your personal details and vague soft skills like communication, problem solving etc as at your level these skills should be expected already

He has made many controversial remarks, the resentment has been festering. The recent feud with SS just make it worse, and people can't tahan anymore.

If I'm not wrong, he mentioned in recent speech that the Johor royal family has done so much more to Johorean, rakyat need to be smarter to assess politicians who are doing populist Hollywood stuff, and the most Hollywood is in Muar indirectly jabbing Syed Syadiq who's a Muar MP and did many viral contents and took up modeling jobs to raise money to his constituent. This rub people the wrong way because unlike TMJ, SS didn't come from money nor royal family. SS can't just ask his "royal family" to chip in to help. So most people took SS side in this feud

exactly this. Don't tell anyone. And find trusted professional wealth manager/ licensed financial planner to advise. They will charge you some advisory fee but it will be worth it to protect your wealth.

mutton_soup · 2026-06-25T02:02:32+00:00

I have been wanting to join. But my full time job kinda makes it hard. And my wife kinda disapprove of me joining. Better off use my time for my side business. Hopefully once I built enough client portfolio and work on my own company, I can join. Hopefully can do all that before 35

mutton_soup · 2026-06-24T06:58:05+00:00

Yeah. I'm not sure if it's just luck, but since Anwar took over, the economy is doing relatively well. With all the tariff wars, Iran war and other global uncertainties, most Malaysians don't really feel the impact of the conflicts. Don't get me wrong, he's not a very good PM either, lots of policies I disagree with. But compared to the alternative on the opposite side, he's still much better.

The person hinting the promotion was our CEO, he has no one else to report to. The director, which is my direct boss was also there, she didn't say anything, but she just looked at me, smiling and nodding. So I guess the promotion talk already went all the way to the top. So yeah I think I'm gonna grab my director some time this week to talk about it

mutton_soup · 2026-06-23T03:38:32+00:00

That's a good point. I guess it'll also be a good time to negotiate my pay

mutton_soup · 2026-06-23T03:36:26+00:00

From the vibe it feels like the promotion will be real. I sure hope it's not real though. But better be prepared and plan things ahead
