The General Manager of Maldives Inflight Catering Pvt Ltd (MIC), which was established in 1988 to provide inflight catering services in Maldives, has been sacked.
Steve Ng was dismissed after it was revealed that he had purchased goods and used facilities against the company's policies.
Maldives Airports Company Limited (MACL) hold a 65 percent stake in MIC while Singapore Airport Terminal Services (SATS) Limited holds a 35 percent stake in the company.
A source with information on the matter told Adhadhu that Steve Ng was removed from his position after an administrative investigation conducted by MACL revealed that he had acted against the rules in a way that harms MIC.
The loss caused by Steve Ng's actions in violating the employment agreement, HR policy, zero-tolerance policy, employee handbook and other rules in using company resources and purchasing materials could amount to millions of dollars, the source added.
MACL has not yet revealed any information on the matter.
"It is believed that the company has suffered a huge loss. If the case is investigated properly, a massive corruption case will be uncovered," the source said.
Adhadhu understands that work is now underway to review MIC policies.
Steve Ng has more than 30 years of experience in the hospitality and food and beverage industries. In addition to the Maldives, he has worked in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, Sri Lanka and the Philippines.
