4-743/06 between encik adar bin ya and proton ... - Industrial Court

According to the claimant, upon knowing this, Sugimoto who is the
coordinator of the company became upset and scolded him for the
mistake done by the technician. He further alleged that despite politely
explaining the situation to Sugimoto he is still not satisfied and rudely
pointed finger at him. The claimant then requested Sugimoto not to
point his finger at him and not to interfere with operation of the
workshop. At that time he said Hatai came and took both of them
outside the workshop and again he requested Sugimoto to talk to him
politely and not to point finger at him. The claimant alleged that when
he tried to leave Sugimoto and walked back to his office Sugimoto
grabbed his shirt around his shoulder but he told Sugimoto to let him go
and he further said to Sugimoto that should he wish to talk to him he
must do it properly. However, he said Sugimoto was not happy with his
explanation and grabbed him by the collar and lifted him off his feet with
his right hand. At the same time he said Sugimoto's left hand was
clenched into a fist and was poised to give him a punch to his face or
head. Acting in self defence, the claimant said he brandished a “parang”
which he took out from the car boot at Sugimoto and warned him not to
come any closer. The claimant denied that the “parang” was displayed in
an aggressive attacking manner and claimed that it was done as a self
defence and in fear of grave physical harm by Sugimoto.
With regards to the DI, the claimant alleged that Sugimoto was not called
during the inquiry. He also claimed that he knew one of the panel
members that is Suhairi Saad for almost ten years since he has worked
with in the company. The claimant's second witness is Mahadi bin Ariff.
