Foreign bank to employee: Transfer or retrench

Cheah Bee Hoon, 40, an employee of a foreign bank claims that she was harassed over the last one month and was threatened with retrenchment if she refuse to take up the transfer to KL with effect from 29 June 2012. The National Union of Bank Employees is looking into this case seriously, as they slams slave principle lead management over the way they treat Cheah. Cheah has two children and is taking care of two elderly parents. She said her current salary barely covers the expenses in Penang and she cannot imagine surviving the high cost of living in KL.
