During a two-day trial that took place in January this year, the court found that while Nizatul initially had a cordial working relationship with Ong, the situation soured when she brought up the employees' complaints against how they were being treated by Ong at the workplace. However, whenever she brought the complaints and grievances against him to his attention, he became confrontational, acted aloof towards her, and eventually became vindictive towards her.
According to Paramalingam, the ex-general manager, as a result of being vindictive and wanting to punish Nizatul for bringing up employees' complaints against him, purposely rated her as "below expectations" in her work performance review to deprive her of the bonus and increment due to her. The court, while questioning the testimony of the company's witness, Cheah Siow Chuan, who had replaced Nizatul, noted that when questioned about why Ong's employment as the general manager was terminated, the witness "chose to hide behind a non-disclosure agreement".
