Third executive fired by SingPost to contest sacking, calls decision ‘without merit’

SINGAPORE: &nbsp, The second executive who was sacked by Singapore Post this quarter after a sensor into a informant’s report said that he will challenge the choice.

In a post on LinkedIn on Tuesday ( Dec 24 ), Mr Li Yu, the former chief executive of the company’s international business unit said&nbsp, he was “left with no option but to take affirmative steps” to contest the termination. &nbsp, He also called the sack cruel, saying it was without 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’ll also make efforts to protect and defend my private popularity. I will vigorously defend my place in the right forum and do not agree with the reported reasons given, suffice to say for the purposes here,” said Mr. Li.

” 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 it was very obvious to him that he had carried out his duties in full and orderly accordance with company policies and instructions.

He said,” I am very disappointed by the company’s decision and angry that the company thought it was appropriate to make these allegations against me, which were utterly unnecessary.”

I am left with no choice but to get racial steps to contest the termination of my job and the alleged reasons, as well as the reported administrative proceedings, which were either expected nor fair, because the company escalated the matter despite my desire to resolve matters peacefully, he added.

I’ll even make efforts to protect and defend my reputation in court.

Earlier this month, Mr Phang and Mr Yik said in a speech that they would “vigorously battle” their fire.
