CBT and theft charge shock for clerk
Allergic: Ong showing her skin condition which developed after her incarceration during the press conference at Chong’s office yesterday.
When 28 year old Ong Siew Peng, returned to collect her salary from her former employer, she was due for a shock.
Policemen were waiting in the office of her manager who accused her of stealing RM 400,000 and two Rolex watches.
She was taken to Kepong police station and from there transferred to the Bukit Jalil police lock up.
Ong Siew Peng developed rashes all over her body but was refused medical attention.
Ong said that her troubles began in June when she started working with the company and found it difficult to get along with her boss. At the office of MCA Complaints Department head Datuk Michael Chong she said, “He always found fault with my work.”
Unable to take it any longer, Ong resigned on August 25th and went to her hometown of Sitiawan, Perak.
When she returned on September 13th to collect her salary she had to face the police.
She explained, “It would not be sensible for me to return to collect RM 1,400 if I had stolen money and watches worth nearly half a million Ringgit.”
Ong who is pregnant, was later released on bail and was yet to receive her salary.
Chong said that he would take up Ong’s case with the concerned authorities and take legal action if necessary.
