I pernah dipecat kerja due to some isu disiplin. But that was a year ago. I dah berubah. Now I want to start new. This year I dah start apply kerja although belum dapat offer. My question is, should I be honest and inform during IV that I kena pecat from company before OR should I just cakap I berhenti je? Macam mana kalau diorang buat background check?

Just be honest but keep it casual. You can mention you had some issues with discipline before, but talk about how you've learned and grown from that experience. If they ask about your past directly, just be truthful. Most companies do background checks anyway, so honesty is key. Just focus on showing them how you've improved and you'll do great!

You can mention that you were let go from your previous job due to disciplinary issues, but frame it in a way that shows accountability and maturity. For example, you might say something like, "I had some challenges in my previous role, but I've taken responsibility for my actions and have worked hard to improve myself since then.
