An internal investigation found that the Rela member on duty had acted beyond the organisation’s security control procedure, Socso said in a statement.
It was responding to an incident on Wednesday when a woman was stopped from entering its office in Jalan Burmah here by a Rela member for “indecent dressing.”
An internal investigation found that the Rela member on duty had acted beyond the organisation’s security control procedure, Socso said in a statement yesterday. “Socso takes seriously the issue of unexpected action by a security guard at the Penang office who prevented a customer from entering because of her dressing.
“An internal investigation conducted by Socso management found no instructions were issued by the management or the office manager to the Rela member to prevent customers from entering the premises.“The individual has since been suspended with effect from June 29 until the investigation is completed,” it added.
