My cut is 60%. I was told by my employer that there will be no EPF contribution as the company is paying out high in royalties etc etc. If apply for EPF, my employer states that my cut/share will further reduce to 53%, which means my contribution would be 18%! (11%+7%) and my employer merely contributes 5%!.. To add up my frustration, some part of the student fees is already gone to "admin" fees rendering my cut well below 50%!! ex:- Student pays rm120 a lesson. rm 20 goes to "admin", and the balance is cut 60/40 .. In truth, basically my cut is 50/50 as half of it clearly goes to my employer. Thus, if my employer reduce my cut by 7%, i would get 43% share in return of EPF contribution for the long hours i've worked.. Am i clearly been exploited? Should i file a report?

They are willing to guide you the procedure. There is hope in our federal government agencies.

Where are they going to get the capital from? Some workers earn so little, they barely have enough money to save and have to end up borrowing from Ah Longs. “Gerakan K”, it’s not easy for workers to start their own businesses.

Need license? Apply direct from city hall. The registrar is slow or insists for some lubricant? Forward your complaint to PEMUDAH. Within 24 hours, the problem solved. I had done this before. Trust me. It works! So funny, isn’t it? Need license? Apply direct from city hall. The registrar is slow or insists for some lubricant? Forward your complaint to PEMUDAH.

One thing for sure, FDI or not, there should be more protection and independence for unions and employees must be encouraged to join unions. However, the unions must be constructive and democratic and not monopolised by politics or people with ulterior motives. But for a start unionisation must be encouraged just like it is in developed nations. We must move in this direction. Oh my God, the level of awareness about workers rights is shocking.

So the better option is to start your own business. For an easy business, try hawker business. Experiment some snack/quick food at home and sell it. Then you are your own boss and you can do whatever you wanted to including granting a day off for your own birthday! It is difficult to fight against the bosses.
