First check your company policy: carry forward or forfeit? Many Malaysian companies allow carry forward of a few days, some pay out unused leave, some just hangus. Legally under the Employment Act, if you are covered, unused annual leave that you were NOT allowed to take should be paid in lieu, boss cannot simply reject everything and then say hangus. Keep proof of your rejected leave applications, that's important. Email your boss and CC HR politely stating you want to clear your balance and asking how they want to handle it. Put it in writing, don't just verbal. If they still block and then forfeit it, that's a case for JTK. Document, document, document.

Some companies actually pay you cash for unused leave at end of year, ask HR directly. Not all forfeit. My friend got almost RM3k payout for her hoarded leave. But honestly rest is more valuable than money, take the break lah.

My old company also like this, always "too busy" to approve. What I did was apply early for January (carry forward) and also apply via the system so there's a record, not verbal. When they reject in the system, that's your evidence they refused, so cannot blame you for not clearing.

Take your MC and leave more strategically next year lah, don't pile everything to December. Spread it out, take one day here and there. Boss harder to reject a single Friday than a full week. Learned this the hard way.
