Was Your Kajang Dismissal Unfair?

Kajang is a growing commuter town and manufacturing area at the end of the MRT line. Its industrial estates support a large working population.

Dismissals here often come from factory or logistics employers cutting whole groups of staff at once, and the way they choose who goes is sometimes unclear.

Where a Kajang claim is heard

You can file a written representation with the Director General of Industrial Relations within 60 days of the dismissal². The Industrial Relations Department (JPPM) confirms which Industrial Court branch covers Kajang.

For a genuine redundancy, the usual selection rule is last in first out within the affected category. An employer needs justification to depart from it¹.

Waves of layoffs

Manufacturers and logistics operators near the industrial estates often restructure in waves. That makes it hard for one worker to tell whether their own dismissal was justified.

Smaller employers around the town centre tend to end jobs one at a time, often with little on paper.
