ayoyo! ... was with a fren the other day, he was saying his bro-in-law, who's working with one of the electronics MNCs based in Penang, was laid off - given only a month's severance pay - and his bro-in-law has 4 mouths 2 feed. Apparently quite a number of MNCs have started laying off theirs workers - I heard somewhere about 15,000 workers were laid off! Dunno how true .. but if it is ... real scary-lah!!!
