Man denies beating, taking video of workers in the nude

Nikkie Tan, in a video uploaded on Facebook, says he will be making a police report against the three women employees for slandering him and says he has CCTV footage to prove his innocence.

PETALING JAYA: The employer accused of beating, locking up and sexually abusing his employees has come forward to clear his name.

Sin Chew Daily reported that one Nikkie Tan, via a video uploaded on Facebook, said he would make a police report against the three women for slandering him.

According to Tan, he would go to the police station today to help with investigations and make a police report because he was confident police would find him innocent of wrongdoing.

He claimed he had CCTV footage that would prove his innocence and said the allegations against him were nothing more than lies.

“I have made a big mistake in employing you (Nicole).

“You came from Ipoh to Kuala Lumpur for the interview and wanted me to employ you immediately because you had no place to stay.

“I immediately took you in out of pity. During that time, I had no idea about your background.

“It turns out that you have run away from Ah Long (loan sharks) and were begging for my help,” he said in Chinese in the video recording.

However, he said he did not expect that the woman would lie to him to the point that he became headline news in almost all the newspapers as well as on the Internet.

Nikkie reminded his former employees not to make accusations and for outsiders not to be so gullible and easily fooled by hearing only one side of the story, including MCA Public Services and Complaints Department Chief Michael Chong

At the same time, he apologised to his family and fiancé, who were business partners, because he was now being labelled as a psychotic criminal.

Yesterday, Sentul Police Chief ACP R Munusamy was reported as saying that police were tracking a couple accused of beating their three employees at a hostel in Fortune Perdana, Kepong, on May 8.

“Police received reports from a female employee on May 9, who accused her employer of abusing her and her two co-workers with a stick.

“The suspect also said she was treated cruelly with a recording of her naked, which she believes is being used to exploit her,” he said.

The China Press quoted one of the victims, during a press conference with Chong yesterday, who said that during the incident on May 8, the employer brought six men, Indians and Chinese, to the hostel and accused them of stealing RM18,000.

Apart from beating and stripping them, the men involved were also said to have used a metal rod to sodomise the victims before taking nude footage of them to force them to admit that they stole the company’s money.

The newspaper reported that one of the three workers was freed after she promised to repay the money which she “stole”.

Two of the other female employees involved were alleged to have been locked up for 18 hours and were only freed after the transfer of RM1,000 into the employer’s bank account, signing a contract that they would promise to repay the stolen money and promising that they would not make a police report.
