Malaysia: Workers Can Abuse Their Bosses, but Only Behind Their Backs

It’s OK to use derogatory and vulgar language about your superiors in the office as long as it is done behind their backs, a Malaysian court has ruled. The Industrial Court said a secretary at Malaysia National Insurance Bhd. was not guilty of misconduct when she sent e-mails from the office computer to friends, griping about her superiors. The court chairman said Ratnawati Mohamed Nawawi’s sacking for misconduct was unjust, and the court awarded her back wages and compensation amounting to $18,570.
