SINGAPORE:  , The second executive who was sacked by Singapore Post this quarter after a sensor into a complainant’s report said that he will challenge the choice.
Former chief executive of the company’s international business unit, Mr. Li Yu, stated in a post on LinkedIn on Tuesday ( Dec. 24 ) that he was “left with no choice but to take affirmative steps to contest the termination of my employment.” He also referred to the sack as harsh and claimed it had no merit.
Along with team chief financial officer Vincent Phang and team chief executive officer Vincent Yik, SingPost terminated Mr. Li’s employment on Saturday.
This came after a sensor into a informant’s report had found “grossly careless” behavior in their management of internal investigations.
” I will also make efforts to uphold my legal rights and defend my private popularity. I will vigorously defend my position in the right forum and agree with the alleged justifications given, but suffice to say for the purposes here.
” With regards to the whistleblowers reports mentioned… I want to express unwaveringly that I reject any and all claims that I lacked integrity and responsibility in performing my obligations and/or that I was in violation of and/or was grossly negligent in doing so.
He claimed that he had made it very clear that he had carried out my obligations in full and orderly accordance with company policies and instructions.
” I am quite disappointed by the company’s choice, and I am angry that the firm has deemed it appropriate to make these complaints against me, which were utterly unwanted,” he continued.
In a statement released earlier this month, Mr. Phang and Mr. Yik stated that they would “vigorously battle” their firing.
