In its defence, the company contended that it had conducted due inquiry, adding that Leong was given the opportunity to be heard and explain his account.

The company said the interviewers at the meeting took him through various documents relating to the tender, including e-mails and quotations.

It said senior management decided to terminate his employment after the Aug 1 meeting, during which he admitted to disclosing the company’s budget for a tender to a vendor.

The company said Leong had acted in flagrant breach of its code of conduct and procurement policies, matters that are independent and separate from the CPIB investigations.

The civil case is pending in court. The next case conference is scheduled for Nov 16.

If this is true that he admitted to leaking budget to vendor for tender then he deserves to be fired since for most companies this is a clear breach of COI

If win is company tank cost right? Can look for pro-bono also right?

Many times the AGC withdrew charges not because the accused was innocent, it may be because of the lack of evidence. If that was the case here, it may not be wise to pursue a civil case for it might rock the boat.

This is a sticky case.
He may still lose even if he is very right.
The company should be able to come up with some BS reason to justify his release.

Lack of evidence means he is innocent til guilty mah

True. But innocent according to the law may not be innocent in fact.
