HSBC staff accuses union picketers of sedition, criminal defamation

HSBC employee relations head Seetha M Kumarasamy lodged a police report earlier this week against National Union of Bank Employees (Nube) picketers alleging “cyberbullying” and “rude and unprofessional” remarks during a recent protest.

Seetha said that the July 31 picket outside HSBC’s Bukit Bintang branch saw several placards containing phrases depicting her as “mentally insane”, “stupid”, “ignorant”, and “foolish”.
