Cheers fires employee following New Year’s Day incident with police at Lau Pa Sat outlet
SINGAPORE: An employee of a
Cheers convenience store at Lau Pa Sat has been fired, following an incident with police officers on New Year's Day.
FairPrice had directed its Cheers franchisee to dismiss its employee after conducting an investigation. TikTok videos of the incident showed the user in a verbal exchange with three police officers at the outlet.
The staff member in question had been placed on administrative leave after Cheers was alerted to the incident, said a FairPrice spokesperson on Wednesday (Jan 4).
"We have since spoken with the staff and assessed the incident and have instructed our franchisee to dismiss the staff," the spokesperson told CNA.
"All staff, regardless of whether they are employed by franchisees, are required to comply with the authorities. We do not tolerate acts from staff who seek to undermine the authority of the police."
