PETALING JAYA: When Jaclyn Lim told her prospective employer that she was six weeks pregnant, they withdrew their job offer even though both parties had signed a contract.

“They accused me of lying to them during the interview and refused to believe me when I told them I didn’t know I was pregnant at the time. They made me feel as if I did a really bad thing by getting pregnant. They insisted that my pregnancy would hinder me from carrying out my job to their expectations.
