> The daily also reported that celebrity chef Datuk Redzuawan Ismail, or Chef Wan, has refuted claims that a worker from his restaurant was mistreated.
He clarified that he is not in control of the management or human resources of the Chef Wan Group of Restaurants (CWGR).
He said his responsibility is limited to handling recipes and maintaining food quality.
After checking with the management, he said some employees were terminated or had their salaries deducted due to poor performance, lack of discipline or dishonesty towards the company.
He said he tried to understand the matter from both sides and decided to speak out to protect his reputation.
Previously, a social media post about a worker at De.Wan 1958 by Chef Wan claiming RM1,000 was deducted from his salary went viral.
CWGR’s management said the claim is untrue and warned of potential legal action.
