A SUPPORTER of opposition National Solidarity Party (NSP) is claiming she was wrongfully dismissed by her company, which manages the Jurong Town Council.
Ms Geraldine Soh, 25, has accused Esmaco Township Management of asking her to go because of her political affiliation.
But Esmaco said yesterday she was asked to leave on Monday because her performance had not been up to scratch for several months. As a customer service officer, she had to relay residents' calls to the relevant staff and contractors.
Town council general manager Ho Thian Poh said she had displayed 'weaknesses in attending to calls from residents, and following up on calls'.
He denied her claim that her dismissal was linked to a colleague spotting her selling NSP merchandise at the party's rally in Jurong West Stadium on May 1.
She told The Straits Times that she was supporting her boyfriend Joel Kong, 26, a legal executive and NSP member who had volunteered to help candidate Steve Chia, who was contesting single-seat Pioneer.
