*Some of the 399 former Shell employees known as “Team A”
Tuesday, November 20th, 2007
KUCHING: The Federal Court (FC) here has granted leave or permission to 399 former employees of two major petroleum corporations to appeal against their ex-employers in connection with their pension funds.
The FC yesterday agreed that there was merit to their application for leave.
The applicants led by one Chong Thian Fook contended that the pension funds namely Retirement Benefit Fund or Provident Fund (lump sum) had been miscalculated and as a result had shortchanged them.
They argued that under the companies’ policy, any employee who has worked with these companies for more than five years was entitled to the pension funds.
The case was first heard at a Miri High Court on Sept 20, 2004 which decided in favour of the applicants.
The court said these pension funds were additional benefits offered to employees apart from the provident fund or retirement benefit scheme set up by the government and that their EPF deductions from the lump sum were unlawful.
On March 23, 2005 a Court of Appeal reversed the decision of the Miri High Court and held in favour of the corporations.
It held that the EPF deductions from the lump sum did not deprive the affected employees.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
