Dismissed In Kota Bharu? Check Your Claim

Kota Bharu runs on retail and small business around Siti Khadijah Market, with a large public sector presence across Kelantan.

Dismissals here are often handled informally, so it helps to know what the real process looks like.

Where a claim goes from here

You can file a written representation within 60 days of a dismissal without a fair reason, seeking reinstatement¹. That applies whether your employer is a large firm or a small trader near KB Mall.

If the matter does not settle, it moves toward the Industrial Court. JPPM confirms which court branch covers Kelantan.

Work and dismissals locally

Retail and trade around Siti Khadijah Market, public sector roles and small businesses make up most of the local job market. Trading and handicraft businesses often run on spoken instructions, so a dismissal can be a short conversation.

Read how unfair dismissal is judged to see whether that kind of ending was fair.

If a supervisor gave the orders, note the supervisor’s name and the company that paid you.

What the process asks of you

Once your representation is lodged, the department arranges conciliation, and solicitors cannot represent either side at that stage².

You attend that meeting yourself. A lawyer can still help you prepare for it beforehand, and that can be done by message from Kota Bharu.

Your next step

Write down what happened in order, with the dates you remember, even where your employer kept little on paper. Keep receipts, messages and informal notes tied to your pay and dismissal.

Check the deadline calculator and read about the Section 20 representation before you file. Note who else was present when you were told, since a witness can matter later.
