#1. Just from heading or Roy's fb declaration of his sacking from TTSH generated a lot of -ve sentiments.
A lot of Roy's supporter is complainting not just TTSH but also MOH too.
See for yourself at Roy's blog:

#2. Did Roy get sack from TTSH?
Yes.
#3. What's the reason?
According to Roy: "Politically motivated"
According to TTSH: misused his time and resources while at work to pursue "personal and non-job-related interests"

Best wishes.

Whether TTSH was justified or not, this is definitely a political blackmark for PAP because everyone is going to associate this with a PAP inspired sacking (whether it was or not).
Another CSJ in the making
What's the reason?
According to Roy: "Politically motivated"
I would be very surprised if Roy did not say the above. In fact, i was tickled when i see it appear at the last sentence of the article.
If his posts/comments were during office time and it was observed that he was surfing the internet for information likewise during, the volume of time spent might alarm any employer. Was he given fair warning first that was officially documented?
If i do not use my smartphone but the office terminal to log on to the internet, I have to use my userid. Therefore, it is possible for me to be monitored.
I think it is totally under TTSH prerogative to fire him when he has been given a warning and continue to do his likely highly time consuming stuff at work
However what I am shocked is this statement: In particular, they cannot defame someone else without basis, which essentially means knowingly stating a falsehood to the public," it stated.
AFAIK the court haven't decided on the merit of the case. This kind of statement brings back old memories. Though like i posted i think Roy deserve it, but one should be presumed legally innocent until proven guilty. TTSH basically 画蛇添足 putting its own self in a spot if Roy has the capacity to sue on wrongful dismissal on wrongful presumption
Interesting one.
Roy MAY have the capacity to sue for wrongful dismissal. But what are the chances of winning? 0.000001%? 0.000002%?
Let's put it this way, even if roy did not get himself with trouble with Pm and he does not work for TTSH and for some private firm instead, if he's fired for one reason or another, he's fired.
Work performance/work attitude/ability to take instruction/etc are all quite subjective. A person is still employed because the company needs him/her to be there and he/she does not get into trouble with the boss/colleagues. It's just the way things are. Work sucks big time especially in MNCs, everyone is just looking after themselves really(so as to have a job and look after their families). Correct or cor-wrong?
It's the reality of life in Singapore. Let's say the roles were changed and Roy is a member of PAP and an office holder. Were he to use some of his office hours to do some party work, reply emails etc, would he had gotten a dismissal?
It harks back to a larger question I have. The business community seems to give a wider leeway to the chaps from the ruling party than the other guys in various areas.
