Selangor agency’s dismissal of staff for info leak to Chegubard upheld
The Industrial Court found that drafts of two statements on alleged corruption, released by Chegubard, had originated from files in Khairi Salleh’s possession.
The Industrial Court has upheld Yayasan Selangor's decision to dismiss Khairi Salleh in 2024 for leaking confidential company information to former Bersatu leader and activist Chegubard, also known as Chegubard. In May 2023, Yayasan Selangor dismissed the staff member after finding him guilty of disseminating two documents containing confidential information to Chegubard.
These documents formed the basis of a letter Chegubard wrote to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) and a press statement containing corruption allegations. The court found that Khairi's explanations during the trial contradicted his pleadings and witness statements. The company's IT department discovered that the drafts of both documents originated from Khairi's Microsoft Office account.
The court concluded that the company had proven a balance of probabilities that Khairi had committed misconduct on two charges. The misconduct was so severe that it destroyed the trust necessary for the company to continue his employment.
