Former workers sue telco firm for RM22mil


IPOH: Some 476 ex-workers of Time dotCom Bhd are suing their former employer for more than RM22mil over the sale of the company in 2009 without their knowledge.

The plaintiffs claimed that the company had kept the move secret to avoid paying termination and layoff benefits, and caused them to lose their jobs in 2010. The suit was filed in the High Court here yesterday through their counsel Vengetraman Manickam, with Norma Taharim, the spokesperson for the group, named as the lead plaintiff.
