A National Solidarity Party (NSP) supporter by the name of Geraldine Soh Shin Lin was sacked from her job at Jurong Town Council without any valid reasons given.

According to Ms Soh’s boyfriend Joel Kong who alerted us to the case on our Facebook, Ms Soh has been working at Jurong Town Council for three years without any incidents or warnings to note.

On 1 May, she was spotted by a fellow collegue selling merchandise at a NSP rally. On 3rd May, she was suspended without any valid reason by her superior Ong Ah Hai for seven days.

After her suspension, the Town Council informed a RC member who told Ms Soh’s father that she was suspended because she had ‘passed confidential information to the Opposition’ which Mr Kong vehemently denied.

Ms Soh was dismissed today after arriving in office for ‘poor performance’, but the Human Resource did not compensate her for the termination in accordance to MOM guidelines except a vague promise that she will be contacted again.

Mr Kong remains perturbed at his girlfriend’s sudden dismissal without a proper explanation being given:

“Compare this to her other colleagues who were told to support the PAP during Nomination Day, and subsequently missing from office for the whole day, my girlfriend did not use working hours to support the Opposition, while those who did suppoting the PAP were not penalised. Is the residents’ money supposed to fund PAP’s electorial campaign? She is currently unemployed as a result of this morning’s happenings,” he wrote.

The person who suspended and sacked Ms Soh is Mr Ho Thian Poh. He can be contacted at 6561 2222.

When a nation cannot differentiate between what's white and black, the ppl suffer. Actually it is the MIW who are abusing their power.

Trying to control everything to instill fear of PAP. Wait till the opposition comes into power, then the table is turned.

Would be better for NSP to check if what Geraldine's boy friend claim is true or not. Not gonna expect any reply from Jurong TC's manager Ho Thian Poh. If situation remains in stalemate and just allow to dissipate quietly to oblivion then next coming GE 2016, NSP will probably have banglas or Ah tiongs only to mans their stores.

Applaud to kojakbt89 for writing to the various ministers concerned, but do expect the usual standard reply because these MIWs will never admit their underlings mistake and deal out the appropriate punishment.

Another option is for Geraldine Soh to lodge a complaint to MOM against Jurong TC for wrongful dismissal due to her political believe and party affiliation. Sure this will be the first case of its' kind for MOM to handle and also set a precedent for other suits to follow. But it will still be 'the egg hitting the rock' scenario but at least we get the see the rock being smeared.

So is NSP going to response to this TR's article or said it's a private matter between an employee and employer, albeit she being a NSP supporter ?

It's good that the MSM had picked up TR scoop on this matter thus allowing those who were not net-savvies to know about it.
Coming back to the MSM it did appear blatantly clear the report is lopsided in favor of Jurong TC. Why have they not interviewed Geraldine Soh for her side of the story in order to have a more balanced reporting for us readers. I just hope what Ho Thian Poh had said to the MSM is with clear conscience and not to live with this stigma for the rest of his life. Why ? - b'cos what he had just did is character assassination of poor girl career.

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.

Re: NSP supporter sacked from Jurong Town Council after being caught selling NSP merc

So am I right to say this Ho Thian Poh is under the employment of Jurong TC and not ESMACO ?

If I am right then this Ho Thian Poh is speaking on behalf of ESMACO to clear off any doubt of Jurong TC's involvement in this fiasco ???

If I am wrong then who the fxxk is this Ho Thian Poh to come to the defence of Jurong TC ???
