JOURNALS OF LIFE THAT WILL REMAIN AS MEMORIES
The case was about the ‘Unfair Dismissal due to Sexual Harassment’
Claimant (H) was employed by KBH and his last position was Bar Captain in 2004. He was charged due to grave offense, verbal sexual harassment to one of female employee (Z) during working time at their outlet. Hotel and KBH had a Domestic Inquiry for this case and the panels has decided to terminate him based on all the statement given including the Q&A with all the witnesses.
Claimant filed a case against KBH about his unfair dismissal and claims to reinstate. The question now, HRKR no longer belong to KBH but belong to AV.
The hearing started when the Chairman asked the defendant (KBH) to call their witness one by one. KBH brought three witnesses for this hearing. One of them was the victim of the sexual harassment (Z). The second witness was one of the Panel during the Domestic Inquiry, and the other witness was a Waiter who happened to be there during the incident happened.
After finished with the defendant's witnesses, the Chairman asked the Claimant's lawyer to call their witnesses. They started with the Claimant (H) himself, followed by the other two witnesses who also happened to be there during the incident.
From my obsession, if you want to file a case, you must provide a very strong evidence such as all related documents and witnesses. Claimant (H) didn't provide related documents as an evidence when KBH's lawyer asked for that documents. Claimant failed to produce the documents. Besides, Claimant(H)'s witnesses not strong enough to support him to win this case. They tend to get confused with their own answers. When you provide not a strong witnesses, they get confused with the questions asked by the defendant lawyer, and they gave the wrong answer. So, defendant will get point here to defend their client. Of course, defendant came all the way with well prepared and looks strong during the hearing. They tend so confident during the hearing.
After they finished call all the witnesses, the Chairman gave a due date for both, Claimant and Defendant to submit their written submission to Court with one month and another two weeks for the reply. Since as per Chairman, this case not so complicated, the judgement will be somewhere end of April.
Pray God that we will win, I mean KBH or Defendant will win. Not the Claimant (H). I know I was an observer, but of course, it also relate to us, those who worked with the new Owner.
,I was in Kuala Terengganu for about 3 days. There was a hearing for court case for the former employee against former owner of my current workplace. But the former owner needs witnesses who are currently working with us now and I need to go as an observer for new owner.

Day 2, Wednesday
Had early breakfast at
Industrial Court, Kuala Terengganu
We stopped by at a famous market in Kuala Terengganu, ‘Pasar Payang’ and I bought a few packets of keropok for my parents.
We had our dinner in the Chinese Restaurant nearby Hotel. After dinner, we planned to go and find any pub or at least a live band. First stop was at Primula Beach Resort. Knowing that the Hotel was the biggest in the town, we though they might have the Live Band thing but unfortunately, they don’t have any. We asked the Concierge guy, and he told us there are two places that we can try out. So we drove to this one plaza first, where based on what that Concierge guy told us is a ‘club’. But when we reached there, it was actually a small room for karaoke and a snooker/pool club. Can you believe that??? Ok la, we were thinking, ok, never mind, maybe we should try the other one. So, we drove up to this hill called Desa Motel while thinking where actually those rich people here having their night life. When we reached up, from outside, we saw a lots of big cars Beemer, Mercs, etc. So we were like “Owh, this is the place la all the rich people hang out at night”. And to our surprised, that place was actually a restaurant with a Malay live band that performs those old malay songs. OMG. I can’t believe. We didn’t sit there, and left that place and went back to Hotel and wondering what the people here, especially youngsters doing at night? Or where they go? How their night life looks like? And I slept that night, with those questions in my mind.
