'Kung Fu him' | £30k payout for Asda worker 'kicked in backside' by female colleague

An Asda worker has been awarded £30,000 at an employment tribunal after being kicked in the rear and “humiliated” by a female colleague.

Choon Seng Goh, the supermarket employee, will receive the five-figure sum after a judge had previously ruled Asda had discriminated against the worker on the grounds of his gender, as the supermarket hadn’t taken his bullying claims seriously.

At a tribunal held in summer 2023, Goh stated that a man would have been “sacked on the spot” if they experienced the same thing as him, having been kicked and kneed twice by a female colleague.
