Dear Mr
Devaiah

We have been approached by Ms Veron Tee after she was dismissed by your
agency when she returned to work few weeks after her maternity leave.

We are a non-profit organisation registered with the registrar of societies
here. We mainly provide counselling and coaching support services for our
clients.

Ms Tee is also currently suffering from depression and we are offering her
our counselling service.

We also learnt from Ms Tee that her position is currently been held by her
coverer – someone who is supposed to be covering her duties on a temporary basis
when she goes on her maternity leave for four months.

It will be a tragedy if our Singaporean women have to worry for their jobs
when they go on maternity leave. No women will then be willing to give birth in
our country if this happens too often.

We also understand that you are a registered foreign business entity and we
welcome foreign investors to start businesses in our country but we hope that
there is fairness in how you deal with our local executives.

There is this feeling by Ms Tee that she is been replaced by a Indian
national who only came in to cover her duties temporarily.

We also want to highlight to you that this case has been showcased on social
media recently which has a reach of close to 200,000 readers both locally and
abroad.

We don’t want your esteemed company to drag through the publicity mud of
perceived injustice and hope that you will do the right thing.

Moreover, many companies in future may not want to do business with you after
reading about this unfair incident widely on social media.

On behalf of Ms Tee, we are appealing for some form of compensation for her
in view of the fact that she has three small kids and a elderly mother at home
to take care of.

Her job is already gone and we hope that based on the merit of her 13 year
commitment to the parent company AT & T, you will accede to her request for
a fair compensation for her abrupt dismissal.

We will also be writing in to AT & T to appeal for justice to be meted
out and we hope that you won’t lose your contract with them.

As a last resort, we are looking at seeking legal assistance and I am sure
that your company don’t want such adverse publicity which will affect your
business here.

I am sure that Singaporeans will stay united against your labour malpractices
and it will be difficult for you to stay in your business here if such errant
practices continue in your company.

Please let us know of your option so we can work out a amicable settlement
with you and our client.

NB: This mail has been forwarded to manpower minister Mr Tan Chuan Jin and
both the local and international press.

Thanks & Warmest Regards,

Gilbert
