Khairul Amin Kamarulzaman, better known as Khairul Aming, is a popular and beloved figure among foodies thanks to mouthwatering recipes that he shares on social media and his numb-inducing Sambal Nyet.
Aside from that, he’s also known to be an extremely generous boss, as seen in a recent video he posted on Twitter.
Wanted to reward employees
In the close to 2-minute video posted last Friday (Apr 7), Khairul told his staff that the factory will be closed for the day and that he had a special announcement for them.
It turned out that he had an array of activities for them during their day off as a reward for their hard work and celebrate the Sambal Nyet’s massive success.
As of August 2022, a million bottles were reportedly sold out and raked in over RM14 million in revenue in just 1.5 years.
Staff go on shopping spree and get RM3,000 bonus
In the clip, all of Khairul’s employees were taken to a shopping mall, where they were seen picking their Raya outfits.
Right after their shopping spree, each employee was given a fat bonus, where it was reported to be around RM3,000 according to Sin Chew Daily.
Many of Khairul’s employees were touched by his generosity, where they were seen shedding tears of joy and gratefulness.
The final treat was a poolside catered buffet with a stunning view, allowing the employees to break their fast in style.
This is not the first time Khairul Aming has made headlines for the exceptional treatment of his staff, where he once organised a two-day staff retreat at a resort, booking at least 17 chalets for the occasion.
‘I want to join too!’
Khairul’s act of generosity has garnered a positive response from netizens, with some jokingly explaining why he should hire them.
“Mr Khairul, I feel 60 employees isn’t enough. Need 61 instead. I’m a hard worker and I only took an MC during the 4th year of my job.”
“If you need someone to swat mosquitoes, you can Roger me.”
Many also praised him for taking such good care of his employees and making sure that they had a work-life balance.
