Wife's Workplace always ask for money

Hi all. Just need some advice. My wife is working under contract with one of federal department. They have an office for every district. This one district is headed by one supervisor, with around 50 staff. The problem is, whenever there is office function, the supervisor will ask for collection money from the staffs, up to RM50 per function. Sometimes she made the attendance compulsory, sometimes optional, but also have to pay. Sometimes they need special attire for these functions, she will make the staff to buy from supplier of her choice with the staff's own money. I see a lot of wrongdoing here but don't know where to report.

Headache With Sister in Law family

intelredmi — Tue, 12 Sep 2017 15:21:18 +0800

Let me share about my sister in law and her family. She's a senior executive at a GLC, making at least 6K monthly, maybe more. 4 children age between 2 to 10. Her husband on the other hand refuse to work for other. Both are tertiary educated. For me, if its only her and her kids, 6k++ is more than enough.

The problem is the husband. He inherited a few pieces of lands from his dad, and sell them off. Made a few hundred thousands. He use the it to open a small health and beauty product shop but failed miserably. Closed shop, have to borrow here and there (from the wifes parents, and her siblings, my wife included).

Then he sold another piece of his inherited land, and open a cafe. Also not going really well. A few times his wife come to us and her parents to borrow money as he is unable to pay the workers and the shop rent. My wife lend her sister some money without telling me, and I got really angry when I found out this morning. The husband mati2 dont want to find job, or even drive uber or grab. Always want to be the boss even have to beg from us. His own siblings dont even care to help him at all. FYI his wife's salary alone is more than me and my wife's combined income.

I pity my 66 years old father in law have to keep working, because he's worried about his daughter and grandkids. Even have to dig their savings to help the daughter. What you will do if you re in my sister in laws husband position? Will you look for a job? Drive uber/grab? Close shop and try other business? Or just bertahan with the losing cafe business?
