Nasty Emails Land Engineers in Trouble

2 engineers and one executive from a well-known oil and gas company, together with the company and its subsidiary, are being sued by a consultant after a series of nasty emails broke his family apart and ended his marriage with a divorce.
The three workers were sued for alleged sexual harassment, defamation and abuse of power.
In the claim, Baharruddin Hamzah, the consultant, stated that the company workers have been sending emails, using the company’s email and domain, to his wife containing pornographic materials and some offensive wordings beginning on July 2007, and continues until recently.
After finding out about the emails, an argument and fighting broke, which resulted his wife moving out from their house. They later divorced. Worse, their three children also discovered about the email circulation, and added to embarrassment and loss of dignity.
The consultant is seeking RM10 million in compensation.
