The 17-second “Singapore office bully” clip, uploaded to the video-sharing website YouTube, showed the boss repeatedly slapping a younger man described by local media as a 29-year-old intern.
When he confronted the boss, the supervisor claimed there was a reason behind the abuse.
“He said that my colleague apparently has an inferiority complex and apparently my supervisor is trying to ‘nurture’ him to get over it,” he said.
Its reported that the bullied intern may seek compensation from the firm.
