Fast-food chain Burger King Singapore felt there was a need to clear its name after a user's forum post on one of its staff went viral.
The post on Jan 8 lashed out at a Filipino shift manager at one of Burger King's outlets at Tampines North Community Club, claiming the manager had showed his unhappiness when a crew member asked for leave to go for reservist mobilisation.
According to the post, the Filipino manager had said that employing male Singaporeans was very troublesome as they needed to go for army duties, so it was "best not to employ them".
Burger King Singapore immediately investigated and clarified that there was no Filipino manager on duty that day, and that the manager on duty was a Singaporean male.
