Luahan Rasa

Ello all, aku nak buat luahan rasa sikit. Huhuhu, sedeh di hati ini neh.

This morning I went to Proton to collect my offer letter from them. Sampai sana the HR officer was in a meeting, so she gave me the offer letter for me to read first and will entertain me later for any q&a. So I gave a screening, check the salary offered, the job grade and bla bla. So after waiting like an hour ada sorang HR datang.

So tanya itu ini begitu begini, I asked about maternity. Since Im 6 months pregnant, the maternity will be cover or not. Terus HR tuh cam tergamam jap (at that time ku wonder takkan dier tak nampak my perot kan???). Pastu dia cam serba salah, katanya kene masuk dalam and tanya the manager apa kene buat. Masa tu aku dah rasa tak sedap hati.

After a few minutes waiting, he did come back with another clique. Upon the HR tuh duduk jer, dia terus cakap....WE NEED TO RETRIEVE BACK THE OFFER. OUR POLICY DO N OT HIRE PREGNANT WOMAN. WE DO NOT BEING DISCRMINATE BUT ITS OUR POLICY

And depan2 mata aku, my offer letter teros kene amik. Tergamam, terkejut & speechless. The HR tanya kenapa aku tak bgtau awal2. And I was likeee.....apa bendanya tak bgtahu awal. I declared my pregnancy in the interview form. I never hide anything. The simple answer gave by the HR?? Oooo terlepas pandang laaa tu.

I just couldnt understand. Im only pregnant, not mentally retarded.

Takpelah, rezki untuk aku Insya Allah ada dimana2. Anak dalam perut nie pon rezeki dari Allah jua. And rezki bukan in money ajer kan? Good health, good family & good friends also considered as rezki.

MISS S,

thats very sad and alarming as it was done by a so called government link company.

I think ada kes yang camni penah masuk court.

if i was not mistaken nama case tu Beatrice v. MAS.
Pasal stewardess yang kena berhenti sbb pregnant. but in her case, she already secured a job but was retrenched later. so she relied on Article 8 of the Federal constitution to say that MAS action was discriminatory.
Unfortunately her action failed because court kata article 8 is a constitutional law. Constitutional law, as a branch of public law, deals with the contravention of individual rights by the Legislature or the Executive or its agencies and does not extend its to infringements of an individual' s legal right by another individual. Like wise in this case, Proton eventhough is a GLC but in legal perspective, they are still a saperate entity from the Government (being the Legislature and Executive).
So kira kalau la kes ni masuk mahkamah Court akan cakap its a dispute between an individual with another individual . So Court kata dia tokleh cite discrimination issue.

Aku tak sure ko paham ke tak sbb nih mmg purely contitutional law punya arguments. Maybe others may want to share their knowledge in this. Anyhow, In a nutshell, mmg unfair but agak susah nak claim under discrimination.

Takpe MISS S, ko tabah je k..rezeki anak ada kat mana-mana... .

the best thing kalu ko nak buat, hehehhe....ko tulis je dalam suratkhabar bertapa poyonya kita beriya citer pasal masyarakat penyayang tapi when it comes to implementation its the opposite.

Ko sabar k...kesihatan lagi penting. jgn stress...
