Kamaruddin worked as a Manager at Daya Budi Holding Bhd, an Information Technology (IT) company in Subang Jaya. On 1 December 2021, he posted on Twitter hinting that the company Chief Executives Officer (CEO), Mr Samad, used his position to manipulate clients personal data for his benefit. Kamaruddin also made an allegation saying that Mr Samad sold the clients information to Padu Tech Inc., a competitor in the business.

On 2 December 2021, Mr Samad read the Twitter posting and instructed Human Resources Department to take immediate action against Kamaruddin. On the same day, Mr Samad was called by the Human Resources Department informing him to appear before Disciplinary Board on 3 December 2021. Kamaruddin asked why was he needed to appear before Disciplinary Board, but the officer-in-charge declined to explain.

On 3 December 2021, Kamaruddin received the charge letter at the proceeding. Shocked by the nature of the charge, he asked for the proceeding to be postponed, but his request was rejected. Kamaruddin noticed that the Chairman of the proceeding was Mr Samad. Kamaruddin requested to call the witnesses to testify, but the proceeding panel turned down Kamaruddin request. The panel also disallowed Kamaruddin to cross-examine any witnesses on that day.

Kamaruddin was dismissed after the proceeding. He is very dissatisfied with the dismissal and intents to challenge the decision of the Disciplinary Board in court.

Advise Kamaruddin.
