Vulcann 6th Gear February 8, 2012 Share February 8, 2012 (edited) From CNA: http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/sin...1181839/1/.html SICC sacks GM, accuses him of "grave misconduct" By Conrad Raj | Posted: 09 February 2012 0546 hrs SINGAPORE: A complaint is understood to have been made to the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau regarding the alleged actions by persons linked to the Singapore Island Country Club (SICC), playground of the country's rich and famous. It is not known whether the investigations are linked to the dismissal on Monday of its general manager J P Schneider, who was also the club's secretary. Mr Schneider was sacked by the club, which has about 7,800 members, for claiming in his application for employment dated March 19 last year that he possessed a "master's degree in corporate management". However, according to club president Tay Joo Soon in a notice to members - a copy of which Today has obtained - when Mr Schneider was asked to produce proof, he is said to have failed to do so. Mr Tay also alleged that Mr Schneider "demonstrated grave misconduct" in relation to the participation of Motion Capture Golf Pte Ltd (MCG) in a tender process "and thereby he had breached not only the provisions of the employment contract, but also the club's code of ethics". The club president said more details on the matter would be given in due course. In September last year, an extraordinary general meeting (EGM) was called to establish a committee of inquiry to investigate whether the club's tender policies and procedures were complied with, concerning such things as the purchase of buggies, tickets for this year's Augusta National, construction of the starter huts and the appointment of a project management consultant. The inquiry committee was to also look into whether the club's code of conduct and ethics policy had been breached regarding these matters. The club had previously clarified that, regarding the tickets and flights to America, Augusta National Golf Club had issued two official invitations to the treasurer and golf captain to attend the 2011 Masters Golf Tournament in April. "In compliance with the club's financial protocol, the SICC bore the cost of the airfare of the treasurer. All other expenses for accommodation, transport and meals were borne by the general committee members themselves." It is not known why the checks on Mr Schneider's qualifications were not made earlier. Following the call for the EGM by more than 400 members, former club president Jimmy Yim, a partner of law firm Drew & Napier, and three other general committee members - vice-president Chua Tiang Hee, treasurer Eugene Yang and tender committee chairman H C Chew - decided not to seek re-election. Mr Tay also informed members that, in order to avoid any disruption to the club's operations, the general committee has decided to appoint former Stock Exchange of Singapore general manager Yau Meng Fai (a retired legal practitioner and an economics graduate), as acting general manager, "until a candidate is employed on a full-time basis, following proper employment procedures". The post of secretary will be temporarily held by Ms Rajita Suntharalingam, currently director of corporate services, Mr Tay added. - TODAY Edited February 8, 2012 by Vulcann ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
