In what is believed to be a first here, a Singaporean man has sued his former company, claiming he was harassed into leaving his job because he is gay.

In papers filed in the High Court in December, Mr Lawrence Bernard Wee Kim San, who turns 40 this year, is claiming "constructive dismissal" against Robinsons.

He says his former boss at the departmental store, Mr Jim McCallum, had harassed him because he did not agree with Mr Wee's sexual orientation. Mr Wee worked for Robinsons for six years before resigning last August.

Robinsons, however, denies his claims that he was unfairly harassed by Mr McCallum.

It denies that any of his claims are true, including his claim that Mr McCallum had told Mr Wee's direct supervisor that Mr Wee "is wrong already as a person".

This has got to be a laugh. Robinsons has a history of taking in gays for yonks. It is probably the first gay friendly employer long long before it became trendy to politically correct.

He probably was touchy feely. Not difficult to spot them. Especially those working at model agencies.

You really don't expect him to be a gay if he does not open his mouth. Look at his picture. The look of a typical pub chiongster. Next time I'm in the public loo, I better watch out for my ass

I really don't think so. Could be his work performance.

The gay thing is just an excuse for his poor (work) performance.

Some more the boss is ang moh ang being gay Is something very normal in the west.

Yes maybe in the past. Now Robinsons are owned by the christian taliban crooks lippo group.

I had a declared gay subordinate before. Very open with his sexual orientation.

very good in his work, but I think he is the more feminine kind.

Can throw tantrums and can be moody, I was confused as fuck on how to deal wit him.

And more gossipy than other female. v good at gossipping and back biting.

Weird people, I cant understd how they find similar sex attractive, they have what you have, wheres the mystery?

Anyway, its up to them.
