Describe malaysian employment law 1955?

EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS
The Malaysian Employment Act 1955 sets out the statutory minimum protection for Malaysian employees earning up to RM1,500 per month. These stipulations relate to, amongst others, notice periods, manner and timing of payment of wages, working hours, holiday, sick leave, maternity leave for female employees and overtime payments.

Where a contract of employment falls outside the ambit the provisions of the Employment Act (i.e. generally where the employee earns over RM1,500), the parties are generally free to contract on their own terms. Notice periods, holidays and payment of salary and other benefits will be dealt with in accordance with the contract of employment. Where no written provisions dealing with the notice of termination are provided, an employer will be obliged to give "reasonable" notice of termination. What constitutes reasonable notice will depend upon a number of factors including seniority and length of service.
