Disgruntled staff should lodge proper reports with the authorities first, before taking any complaints about their bosses to social media.  

The HR Minister says without proper reports, the relevant authorities cannot investigate or take the necessary action.  

He said this after a viral social media post accused a ramen chain of handing out fines to workers for various reasons, including misconduct and taking sick leave. 

The alleged fines, between RM30 and RM500, led to a huge public outcry and calls for authorities to act.
