Since he departed from Mdada, Pornsak has received much attention from fans, other media personalities, and haters. Notice how I didn’t mention his co-founders, Michelle Chia and Addy Lee. That’s because they didn’t respond. That is, until now. Michelle Chia & Addy Lee “Disappointed” at Pornsak’s Sudden Announcement of Leaving Mdada On Thursday (5 January), Mdada released a statement on Instagram detailing their response to Pornsak’s Instagram post and AsiaOne’s article about his leave. To contextualise, AsiaOne broke the news of his leave from the e-commerce company and announced that he left the company due to disagreements with the other two co-founders. Now, Mdada can’t keep mum any longer. In the company’s statement, they announced they were “surprised by the statements made by or attributed to Pornsak.” Apparently, when Pornsak put in his resignation letter, his attitude was completely different from when he spoke to AsiaOne. “In his resignation letter sent to Mdada, Pornsak did not state any of the matters he has now raised.” In other words, Michelle and Addy weren’t aware of their alleged disagreements with Pornsak. They clarified that Pornsak left with an optimistic and grateful attitude, contrary to how AsiaOne portrayed it. “He expressed his gratitude for the opportunity given to him in Mdada,” they wrote. According to Pornsak, they were often conflicted due to an age gap between him and the other two team members, and thus he left. In response to this, Mdada raised that they were "unclear (as to) what ‘generation gap’ Pornsak (referred) to." To be clear, Pornsak will be 41 this year, and Michelle and Addy will be 47 and 51, respectively. What generation gap?! On the minor age difference, they highlighted that Pornsak would know about this issue even before he started the company with Michelle and Addy. Moving on, they addressed how Pornsak implied Mdada was "untrustworthy with customers’ purchases or orders." Deeming the suggestions “wholly untrue and baseless,” they pinned the operation responsibilities on Pornsak. In other words, even if there were delays in shipping or any other inconveniences, the fault would lie on Pornsak. Next, the company said they were “deeply disappointed” at their ex-CEO and director for releasing the issue to the public instead of attempting to settle it internally. According to them, it has “affected Mdada’s reputation and value” and “hurt Michelle, Addy and all employees of Mdada.” It’s safe to say they aren’t happy about the episode. What’s ironic is Pornsak told AsiaOne that he’s still supposedly on good terms with them. Well, looks like that’s another lie. Using the incident as a lesson, Mdada reminded their current and past employees of their "obligation under their contracts of employment. "In particular, employees have a legal obligation to maintain the confidentiality of information relating to the business of Mdada." Last but not least, they spoke on self-improvement to better serve their customers. "Mdada is admittedly still learning," they wrote. "We cannot profess to be perfect at what we do, but what we can assure our customers and fans is that we will always strive to improve, not just in our product offerings but in our various processes."
