Prudential S'pore insurance agent claims he got fired after whistleblowing company, ordered to pay S$120,000 after losing appeal
His wrongful termination suit against Prudential was previously dismissed by the court.
Former Prudential Singapore agent See Jen Sen claimed he was fired after blowing the whistle on the company's misleading life insurance ads on social media. He reported these breaches to the MAS under a pseudonym, and was then terminated by Prudential in March 2022. See then sued the company for wrongful termination, claiming it was due to his whistleblowing.
However, Prudential argued the dismissal was within its rights and that See was not entitled to rewards or long-term incentives since he was no longer an employee at the time. The High Court dismissed both suits, finding no basis for See's claim that he was fired in retaliation for whistleblowing. See was ordered to pay over S$120,000 in legal fees, which he appealed but was then ordered to pay an additional S$40,000.
