The Kota Kinabalu Industrial Court has awarded a former senior manager RM931,770 in compensation after ruling she was constructively dismissed by a state-owned company without just cause or excuse three years ago. Court chairman Indra Ayub said Borneo Samudra Sdn Bhd’s transfer of claimant Siti Mariam Abdul Rahman to the company’s Tawau office was in effect a demotion and "certain to force (her) out of the company".. Borneo Samudra is a subsidiary of Sawit Kinabalu Sdn Bhd, an entity wholly owned by the Sabah government.
