Tan Tock Seng Hospital dismisses blogger Roy Ngerng

[opmi]

given the 不求有功，只求无过 attitude of the civil service, it is quite impossible to think the TTSH Mgt and Board will score points with the dismissal. Sticking out neck without justification is career suicide. Easy path for self-preservation is do nothing. Unless the dismissal has damn good justifications.

Who can not see it coming-The SACKING? But TTSH has fumbled in the process. Maybe too eager to please the ATAS.

I think it is totally under TTSH prerogative to fire him when he has been given a warning and continue to do his likely highly time consuming stuff at work

However what I am shocked is this statement: In particular, they cannot defame someone else without basis, which essentially means knowingly stating a falsehood to the public," it stated.

AFAIK the court haven't decided on the merit of the case. This kind of statement brings back old memories. Though like i posted i think Roy deserve it, but one should be presumed legally innocent until proven guilty. TTSH basically 画蛇添足 putting its own self in a spot if Roy has the capacity to sue on wrongful dismissal on wrongful presumption
