00:00The Industrial Court has awarded RM703,664 in compensation to a former Maxis Broadband

00:09Sindhiriyan Berhad manager for wrongful dismissal.

00:13In an award dated July 16, the court noted that Ang King Singh's performance had never

00:18been appraised as unsatisfactory throughout his 25-year stint with the firm.

00:24Chairman Zul Bahrain Zainuddin said, between 2016 and 2019, Maxis rated Ang's performance

00:31as partially meets expectations, but despite this, it went on to thank him for his contribution

00:37and commitment, even awarding him RM26,132 as a token of appreciation of his efforts.

00:45On September 1, 2020, after three consecutive PMA ratings, Ang was placed on a three-month

00:52ad-hoc performance improvement plan by the Human Resources Department.

00:56He was given 12 deliverables to accomplish over and above his core duties, which Zul

01:01Bahrain said caused Ang hardship and affected his concentration when carrying out his daily

01:07duties.

01:08As a result, Ang failed at all three appraisals and was told that his services would be terminated

01:14with effect from February 28, the following year.

01:18Zul Bahrain, however, found that the PIP deliverables had obstructed Ang's discharge of his core

01:24duties and was not designed to improve his performance.
