SingPost Fires Three Senior Executives Over Whistleblower Investigation Failures
The executives, including the CEO and CFO, were dismissed for gross negligence in handling misconduct within the company's international e-commerce logistics business.
- The whistleblowing report alleged that employees manually altered parcel delivery statuses to avoid contractual penalties, leading to an internal investigation.
- Three managers directly involved in the misconduct were dismissed, and a police report was filed against them by SingPost.
- CEO Vincent Phang, CFO Vincent Yik, and International Business Unit CEO Li Yu were found guilty of gross negligence and serious misrepresentations to the audit committee.
- The terminated executives dispute the allegations, claiming procedural unfairness and asserting they acted in line with company policies.
- SingPost’s share price fell by nearly 11% following the announcement, and the company faces challenges in rebuilding leadership and restoring stakeholder confidence.
