      http://www.todayonline.com/Singapore/EDC110511-0000331/Dismissed-for-poor-performance--Town-council


      04:47 AM May 11, 2011
      SINGAPORE - The Jurong Town Council has cleared the air over the termination of an employee, dispelling online rumours that she was let go because of her involvement in events held by an Opposition party.

      It said the matter involving former customer service officer Geraldine Soh is related to her poor performance. Ms Soh, 25, was an employee of EMASCO Township Management, the managing agent for the town council.

      \"We would like to clarify that this was purely a human resource management issue between ESMACO and the employee ... Council members of the Jurong Town Council are not involved in EMASCO's human resource decisions,\" said town council general manager Ho Thian Poh in an email reply to MediaCorp's queries.

      \"The staff concerned was terminated by ESMACO for reasons of under-performance over a period of several months. This included weaknesses in attending to calls from residents and following up on calls. Counselling of the officer by her supervisors did not lead to improvement and her continuation on the job would have demoralised other staff,\" Mr Ho added.

      Questions regarding Ms Soh's dismissal began surfacing online yesterday, after her boyfriend, Mr Joel Kong, alerted netizens and online social political websites about the incident.

      Ms Soh, who was given her last pay cheque yesterday, told reporters she had been suspended from work since last Tuesday. The weekend before, she had been helping to distribute National Solidarity Party (NSP) pamphlets and sell party merchandise at its rally at Jurong West stadium.

      Ms Soh denied that she had attended counselling sessions because of her work. She claimed that she had been called into the office \"about four to five times over the last three years\" following complaints from residents. But this was a \"common occurrence\" among colleagues, she said.

      In response to MediaCorp's queries, a Ministry of Manpower (MOM) spokesperson said it has not received any complaints officially lodged by Ms Soh.

      wow, wrote till like that. this lady no need find job le, everyone see her name will :siam:

      The timing with which she was terminated of her services is 'fishy'. Even with the explanations, nobody is convinced.

        Haiz ... Give her a chance to prove herself la ... Anyway some ladies who earn lesser then her already got LV bag .... so having a Kate Spade which is about half the price or more even more cheaper then LV .. Is ok la ....

        Ya lor, it's only a Kate Spade.
        With her salary she can easily afford it, so i don't see the hoo ha about it.
        However if it were an hermes, then maybe it would be too extravagant.
        There again if she can afford it, why not.

        I know of people who scrimp and save and skip meals just to buy an LV bag.

          Grace Fu expressed her \"regret\" if her analogy of comparing some opposition parties to unprofessional insurance agents (who appear only once every 5 yrs) caused unhappiness. No sincere apologies lei.. :skeptical:

            I did not sense much in that letter too.
            Her clarification was very swift!

                Pardon my ignorance, how does a kate spade bag (?) look like?
                My bag is only that $19.90 bought during a sale in the department store.

                  Jessica, I'll suggest you search for a 45mins youtube video titled \"A nation under ....\", if you have not seen it yet. It was posted by 1 of the member in the original thread.

                      i dnt think she will be remove lei. saw yday news that she alrdy started open her stall at \"mac-person\" and personally see abt 50 residents, 1-by-1 Q up and see her. got a few residents commented she's very good and patient with their complaints and said she will help them, maybe the reporter only interview those who said good things abt her :lol:

                      It also mentioned that she has worked from 8pm-1am .. convincing them that the education and health cost is affordable .. so that they do not have to worry. šŸ˜‰
