00:00A formal general manager, Ang Ching Gaik, was awarded nearly RM1.4 million in compensation

00:08for unfair dismissal after his employer, WV Services Malaysia Sindiran Berhad, failed

00:13to attend the trial or defend the claim in the industrial court.

00:18Court Chairman Augustine Anthony said that Ang was only entitled to 20 months back wages

00:23since he had not completed a full year of employment with the company.

00:28The court awarded Ang RM1,380,722.20, which included his back wages and a monthly allowance

00:36of RM200.

00:39The company, which failed to submit any defence or evidence, was absent from the hearing despite

00:43being informed of the trial date.

00:46The court then proceeded with the trial, allowed the claimant to present his case, and ruled

00:51in accordance with the Industrial Court Rules 1967.

00:56Ang claimed he was dismissed without explanation on June 18, 2022, after serving in various

01:02roles with the company since 2015.

01:05Ang's legal team stated that they would seek action for non-compliance if the employer

01:10does not settle the compensation within 30 days from March 3.
