The last time I wrote about the terror-supporting owner of the Sinamon cafe in Perth, Ahmed El Sayed Imam (aka Abarai Mido), he was boasting he was going to sue a mining company for racism and discrimination. This after boasting about banning Zionists from his cafe chain.
Oh the irony!
And here’s some more; he has faced court since then, but not for his so-called suit against the mining company. He has been penalized (yet again) – this time for underpaying a young worker.
The owners of the Sinamon cafe chain in Perth have been penalised $31,000 for underpaying a young worker and failing to keep required employment records.
Sinamon – which specialises in cinnamon buns and sweet pastries – operates cafes in Victoria Park, Mt Lawley, Curtin University and Fremantle.
The WA Industrial Magistrates Court found owners Dr Ahmed El Sayed Imam (also known as “Abarai Mido”) and Ms Yan Woon Desiree Hui underpaid the young university student who was working several jobs to make ends meet. The Court also found they failed to pay her any superannuation, and to keep employment records as required by the WA Industrial Relations Act.
The worker gave evidence that when she queried her rate of pay, the couple suggested she find another job if she was unhappy. The worker made a complaint to the Department of Local Government, Industry Regulation and Safety, which subsequently brought proceedings in the Industrial Magistrates Court following an investigation by an industrial inspector.
This is the third time Dr Imam and Ms Hui have faced the Court. In 2021 they were penalised $14,300 for obstructing industrial inspectors, and in 2023 they were fined $89,800 for breaching court orders to produce employment records.
Imposing the $31,000 penalty, Industrial Magistrate Coleman noted that Dr Imam and Ms Hui had demonstrated “blatant disregard” for the compliance regime and their employment obligations.
Private Sector Labour Relations Director Cara Breuder said the size of the penalty reflected the gravity of the conduct.
“This was a young, vulnerable worker doing it tough to put herself through university. The hospitality sector is a high-risk sector for underpayments, with a high proportion of young workers and overseas visa workers,” Ms Breuder said.
“Sinamon has now racked up more than $135,000 in penalties for breaching WA employment laws. The repeated non-compliance is particularly concerning.”
Ms Breuder noted there was a strong correlation between businesses not keeping employment records and not paying their staff correctly.
Naturally, Mr Bully-Who-Plays-Victim is claiming he is being framed:
and even the media is out to get him:
Coming soon (no doubt) from Ahmed El Sayed Imam: This “racist legacy media” is run by the “Zionists.”
Be that as it may, he is getting hammered in the comments to his post exposing his former Sinamon Cafe employee. And I am here for it.
Looks like El Sayed Imam is emulating his Hamas heroes and making things way worse for himself.
And I know this is all getting to him. Besides his snappy comments, he blocked me from his Instagram profile immediately after he saw I visited his stories (to obtain the above screenshots):
Normally, he has remained defiant, even direct messaging me the nastiest things. But here he doesn’t want us to see him getting roasted like some of his coffee beans.
