Rope-skipping coach sexually abuses teenage student for years, sentenced to 25 years' jail
Roger Yue Jr, a rope-skipping coach convicted of committing sexual offences against a student, was sentenced to 25 years in jail on Monday (March 19) - after the judge made the uncommon move of imposing a sentence longer than the one recommended by the prosecution.
Describing the 60-year-old's crimes as heinous, Justice Aedit Abdullah said that "while the court should not impose a crushing sentence nor one that operates as an effective life sentence", he did not regard this as an absolute rule.
He also said that the sentence must be measured against the criminal conduct of the case in question.

Sexual abuse cases of students involving teachers on rise
For students, schools are their second home, and during the school hours, teachers are responsible for taking care of them just like their parents. But what will happen if teachers forget their responsibility and behave like sexual predators in front of students?
Latest reports coming from Singapore indicate that cases of sexual molestation involving teachers have witnessed a dramatic rise in the recent years. Two such incidents were exposed in the past two days, and it will surely compel everyone to think about the safety of our children at schools.

Recent spate of inappropriate behaviour by teachers leads MOE to step up vigilance
The Ministry of Education has announced that it will be working more closely with local schools to step up vigilance and ensure that students are better protected from errant teachers.
This, after a recent spate of inappropriate behaviour by local teachers brought disrepute to the profession. Multiple cases involving teacher misconduct went to court so far this year, with offences ranging from sending students inappropriate messages, committing indecent acts on students and even getting pupils to buy drugs for teachers.
MOE to step up vigilance after misconduct by teachers
In light of cases of teacher misconduct, the ministry is doing more to ensure safety of students.
One teacher got her student to buy her drugs. Another molested his male student. A third teacher committed indecent acts on his female student.
The latest case of a National Junior College teacher being sacked for sending his female students inappropriate text messages has again thrown the teaching profession into disrepute.

Teacher and Student - rose with thorn
Recently, there were a slew of reports about teachers having inappropriate relationship with their students. Nine out of ten of the teachers were male, having illicit liaison and relationship with their female students.

Teacher scandals rock 'disciplined' Singapore
Their affair started with her giving him a copy of the mushy memoir "Eat, Pray, Love". It ended with the 32-year-old female teacher in Singapore getting a jail sentence for illicit sex with her 15-year-old male student. The case, which shocked Singapore, was the latest in a string of scandals involving Singapore educators, who in the past year have been caught embezzling college money, committing lewd behavior, peddling drugs and a couple of times having sex with students. At least 10 such cases have reached the courts this year.
In a country known for its orderliness and strict laws where even jay-walking and public spitting are punishable offenses, the scandals are raising questions about whether the government — in its hugely successful efforts to control political dissidence and crime — has ignored declining moral and social standards.
More surprising is that such egregious cases have been recorded in Singapore's highly regarded educational system, where both teachers and students are conditioned from first grade to be disciplined, rule-fearing and committed to academic excellence.

Singapore hit by sex scandals involving teachers in blow to its strait-laced reputation
Their affair started with her giving him a copy of the mushy memoir "Eat, Pray, Love." It ended with the 32-year-old female teacher in Singapore getting a jail sentence for illicit sex with her 15-year-old male student. The case, which shocked Singapore, was the latest in a string of scandals involving the city-state's educators, who in the past year have been caught embezzling college money, committing lewd behavior, peddling drugs and a couple of times having sex with students. At least 10 such cases have reached the courts this year.
In a country known for its orderliness and strict laws where even jay-walking and public spitting are punishable offenses, the scandals are raising questions about whether the government — in its hugely successful efforts to control political dissidence and crime — has ignored declining moral and social standards. More surprising is that such egregious cases have been recorded in Singapore's highly regarded educational system, where both teachers and students are conditioned from first grade to be disciplined, rule-fearing and committed to academic excellence. A student's academic future is determined at age 10 through a streaming system, which pushes over-achievers into a fast-track schooling. At age 12 they take a national test to get into top schools.
"This over emphasis on results does not directly contribute to falling standards of probity in schools. Rather, what it did was to reduce the importance placed on values, character and integrity," said Eugene Tan, an assistant professor of law at the Singapore Management University. "In a sense we took our eyes off the ball when we shouldn't have. I think the matter is a lot more complex with multi-causal factors, including a general societal decline in moral standards," he said.

Are we Students, or are we Lovers?
In a student’s journey from the formative to the educated, teachers are the beacons of light illuminating the path before us. Playing such an important role, the teacher-student relationship is inevitably close, and in some situations, almost intimate. The question then arises: when does such a relationship cross the threshold from professional to personal? Is a casual invitation to the tutor’s house, or perhaps a cup of coffee at a nearby café, an illicit affair?
Recent headlines have revealed such a complication, with the relationship between student Darinne Ko and professor Tey Tsun Hang branded as ‘sex for grades’ by the media. Conversely, both parties have alleged that their relationship was born out of mutual attraction, with the gifts given out of affection, not bribery, and the grades awarded out of academic excellence, not partiality. In every teaching contract, there is invariably a clause stating that a teacher must maintain professional boundaries in his or her interactions with students. In NUS, for example, the Code of Conduct mandates staff members to ensure that their private activities are not in conflict with professional obligations. The university enforces this by demanding that their staff declare any personal relationships that result in a conflict of interests, as well as any gifts received from students that are worth more than a hundred dollars.
However, while boundaries of professionalism are demarcated, such clauses are often vague and fail to explicitly and specifically detail the limits of such a relationship. Yet it is admittedly difficult to determine the exact degree of familiarity that begins to contravene a professional relationship, given the infinitely complex nature of interpersonal relationships.

Teacher-student sex: A Sin and a Confession
The state of sexual morality in Singapore is in rapid decline. Today's edition of the Straits Times runs a story "Teacher pleads guilty to sex with pupil, 13" (5 March 2013), where a married teacher, who is mother of three children, had a three-month long relationship with a Primary 6 pupil, culminating in sexual encounters in a park, at her home and at the staircase of an HDB block. On 19 July 2012, when she was leaving to collect fast food for the boy, the vice-principal told her to go to the principal's office. When the principal asked if there was anything going on between her and the victim, she denied it. She was then asked to write a report. Feeling guilty and suffering a sleepless night, she did not want to tell her husband the full story. She then went to church the next day and confessed to her pastor, and also to her principal, before making a police report at Woodlands Neighbourhoood Police Centre.
She pleaded guilty to two charges of having sex with the boy, then 13, in a park and at her home between May and July 2011. Four other charges, including committing an obscene act with a child and performing oral sex on the victim, will be taken into consideration when she is sentenced. District Judge Kamala Ponnampalam adjourned the case to next Thursday for her lawyer Ravinderpal Singh to mitigate.

Sexual predators targeting minors – disconcerting number of cases
The State Court on Thursday dealt with three separate cases of sexual offences committed by men against minors. They are the latest in what seem to be a frequent occurrence in Singapore, going by news reports, of such cases involving minors. (See definition of “minor” here.)
In the first case on Thursday, 48-year old odd-job worker, Lee Kia Kit, was sentenced to seven years’ preventive detention and was also given one stroke of the cane for outraging the modesty of two girls, aged 13 and 15, when they were on their way to school in March.
The Deputy Public Prosecutor told the court that Lee had also had three previous convictions for sexual offences since 2011. The DPP thus argued that imprisonment had “no rehabilitative or deterrent effect” on Lee whose previous offences, the court was told, were committed against victims aged between nine and 45.

Singapore's Ministry of Education fails to prevent teacher misconduct
In the latest case of teacher misconduct, a relief physical education teacher in Singapore has been fired for inappropriate behaviour
The former National Junior College (NJC) teacher was found guilty of sending inappropriate messages to female students from April to June this year, including asking one to meet him in his hostel room. He is currently a student at Nanyang Technological University.
One of the victims had complained to NJC’s vice principal. “Our vice principal was alerted by the student’s parent about the inappropriate message sent in one encounter,” NJC’s spokesperson said. “An immediate investigation was carried out. The relief teacher had admitted and apologised for his inappropriate actions. The relief teacher is no longer with the school.” This puts the total number of reported cases to four – just over a span of three weeks.
In July, The Educator reported three cases of teacher misconduct in Singapore. One teacher was jailed for having an inappropriate relationship with his 15-year-old student. Another was found guilty of molesting his 13-year-old pupil. The third case involved a shocking drug scandal: a secondary teacher had asked her student to buy methamphetamine for her. The Ministry of Education (MOE) dismissed her from service during the investigation in 2017. Both teacher and student were charged separately.

NYGH teacher checked students' bra
A school did conduct a uniform check, and a teacher did proceed to check the colour of bra straps during the inspection. As it is, this is how it all went down.
According to Chinese daily Shin Min Daily News, a female teacher, believed to be the Secondary 4-year head, had unbuttoned students’ uniforms to verify the colour of their bra straps during the attire check. Apparently, Nanyang Girls’ High students are permitted to wear only white or beige undergarments.
Having supposedly done the attire check on behalf of the male form teacher, the teacher allegedly undid the collar buttons of students’ attires and pulled out their bra straps.
Pre-school teacher who humiliated 5-year-old boy suspended
A pre-school teacher who humiliated a 5-year-old boy for spotting long hair has been temporarily suspended by the school. The boy’s father had written a lengthy email post on Saturday (9 Jul) recounting how the teacher made his son stand in front of the class for sporting long hair, and put a “girl hair clip” on him, “much to the amusement of all the other kids”. The teacher further threatened to repeat the action the next school day if the boy did not cut his hair by then.

- 16 JULY – A male teacher squeezed a 13-year-old child’s chest and touched the boy’s groin and buttock as he told him that he resembled a Japanese pornographic comic character. The teacher is presently out on bail and will return to court on 14 August.
- 25 JULY – A district court heard that a teacher at Meridian Secondary School told her student about her methamphetamine consumption, prompting the student to offer his help to find her a cheaper drug supplier. The teacher gave her student $200 to buy the drugs but the boy was caught during a CNB spot check. While the student was sentenced to probation of two years and three months, MOE sacked the teacher.

In light of cases of teacher misconduct, the ministry is doing more to ensure safety of students.
One teacher got her student to buy her drugs. Another molested his male student. A third teacher committed indecent acts on his female student.
The latest case of a National Junior College teacher being sacked for sending his female students inappropriate text messages has again thrown the teaching profession into disrepute.

Teacher scandals rock 'disciplined' Singapore
Their affair started with her giving him a copy of the mushy memoir "Eat, Pray, Love". It ended with the 32-year-old female teacher in Singapore getting a jail sentence for illicit sex with her 15-year-old male student. The case, which shocked Singapore, was the latest in a string of scandals involving Singapore educators, who in the past year have been caught embezzling college money, committing lewd behavior, peddling drugs and a couple of times having sex with students. At least 10 such cases have reached the courts this year.
In a country known for its orderliness and strict laws where even jay-walking and public spitting are punishable offenses, the scandals are raising questions about whether the government — in its hugely successful efforts to control political dissidence and crime — has ignored declining moral and social standards.
More surprising is that such egregious cases have been recorded in Singapore's highly regarded educational system, where both teachers and students are conditioned from first grade to be disciplined, rule-fearing and committed to academic excellence.

Singapore hit by sex scandals involving teachers in blow to its strait-laced reputation
Their affair started with her giving him a copy of the mushy memoir "Eat, Pray, Love." It ended with the 32-year-old female teacher in Singapore getting a jail sentence for illicit sex with her 15-year-old male student. The case, which shocked Singapore, was the latest in a string of scandals involving the city-state's educators, who in the past year have been caught embezzling college money, committing lewd behavior, peddling drugs and a couple of times having sex with students. At least 10 such cases have reached the courts this year.
In a country known for its orderliness and strict laws where even jay-walking and public spitting are punishable offenses, the scandals are raising questions about whether the government — in its hugely successful efforts to control political dissidence and crime — has ignored declining moral and social standards. More surprising is that such egregious cases have been recorded in Singapore's highly regarded educational system, where both teachers and students are conditioned from first grade to be disciplined, rule-fearing and committed to academic excellence. A student's academic future is determined at age 10 through a streaming system, which pushes over-achievers into a fast-track schooling. At age 12 they take a national test to get into top schools.
"This over emphasis on results does not directly contribute to falling standards of probity in schools. Rather, what it did was to reduce the importance placed on values, character and integrity," said Eugene Tan, an assistant professor of law at the Singapore Management University. "In a sense we took our eyes off the ball when we shouldn't have. I think the matter is a lot more complex with multi-causal factors, including a general societal decline in moral standards," he said.

Are we Students, or are we Lovers?
In a student’s journey from the formative to the educated, teachers are the beacons of light illuminating the path before us. Playing such an important role, the teacher-student relationship is inevitably close, and in some situations, almost intimate. The question then arises: when does such a relationship cross the threshold from professional to personal? Is a casual invitation to the tutor’s house, or perhaps a cup of coffee at a nearby café, an illicit affair?
Recent headlines have revealed such a complication, with the relationship between student Darinne Ko and professor Tey Tsun Hang branded as ‘sex for grades’ by the media. Conversely, both parties have alleged that their relationship was born out of mutual attraction, with the gifts given out of affection, not bribery, and the grades awarded out of academic excellence, not partiality. In every teaching contract, there is invariably a clause stating that a teacher must maintain professional boundaries in his or her interactions with students. In NUS, for example, the Code of Conduct mandates staff members to ensure that their private activities are not in conflict with professional obligations. The university enforces this by demanding that their staff declare any personal relationships that result in a conflict of interests, as well as any gifts received from students that are worth more than a hundred dollars.
However, while boundaries of professionalism are demarcated, such clauses are often vague and fail to explicitly and specifically detail the limits of such a relationship. Yet it is admittedly difficult to determine the exact degree of familiarity that begins to contravene a professional relationship, given the infinitely complex nature of interpersonal relationships.

Teacher-student sex: A Sin and a Confession
The state of sexual morality in Singapore is in rapid decline. Today's edition of the Straits Times runs a story "Teacher pleads guilty to sex with pupil, 13" (5 March 2013), where a married teacher, who is mother of three children, had a three-month long relationship with a Primary 6 pupil, culminating in sexual encounters in a park, at her home and at the staircase of an HDB block. On 19 July 2012, when she was leaving to collect fast food for the boy, the vice-principal told her to go to the principal's office. When the principal asked if there was anything going on between her and the victim, she denied it. She was then asked to write a report. Feeling guilty and suffering a sleepless night, she did not want to tell her husband the full story. She then went to church the next day and confessed to her pastor, and also to her principal, before making a police report at Woodlands Neighbourhoood Police Centre.
She pleaded guilty to two charges of having sex with the boy, then 13, in a park and at her home between May and July 2011. Four other charges, including committing an obscene act with a child and performing oral sex on the victim, will be taken into consideration when she is sentenced. District Judge Kamala Ponnampalam adjourned the case to next Thursday for her lawyer Ravinderpal Singh to mitigate.
The Sin:
- This case is morally deplorable on so many levels, and only the surface of which is only scraped by the law. Being married, a mother of three, a teacher, and the fact that the boy was merely 13 at the time, acts such as these simultaneously violate a wide plethora of duties, which the rights-centric discourse of our day is barely able to grasp:
- One's own bodily integrity. Contrary to the assertions of John Stuart Mill, over himself, his own body and mind, the individual is not sovereign. Any form of sexual conduct outside marriage is a defilement of one's bodily integrity, misdirecting one's sexual passions in acts of lust.
- To one's husband. The marriage vow is sacred, and represents a lifelong duty of mutual faithfulness, love and respect. The marital vow is a promise made before God, family, relatives and friends, and pleads for their sanction. Most importantly, it is made to one's spouse. By committing an act of adultery, that duty is violated and the marriage bed defiled. One extremely shocking aspect of this case is how this teacher had sex with her student in her own home.
- To one's children. It is a terrible thing for children to suffer that the womb that bore them and the breast that fed them should be have the seed of another sown and to be fondled by one who is not their father. The energy and passion that had been directed in lust should have been better spent nurturing and caring for the children.
- One's duty as a teacher. A teacher is a moral exemplar to her students, and should not only educate children in their school subjects, but to model life to them. Sex education of this sort is definitely not the kind of education parents send their children to school for.
- To the boy. To the boy, these sexual acts are a horrific corruption of his innocence. Even though the Child Guidance Clinic found that he was embarassed by what had happened but showed no evidence of any adverse psychological effects, the teacher's acts have robbed him of his virginity and sexualised the child at such a young age when he should have been left to grow and develop properly.
- What would a virtuous person do? Of course, a virtuous person in the shoes of this particular teacher would not have done what she did, because it is inconsistent with the nature of virtue to do so. However, in a world where humans are "only human", we may have to live with second-best.
- The virtuous thing to do after one has erred is not to conceal one's error. In this, the teacher has done one right thing in confessing to her pastor, the principal, and then submitting herself to the authorities. She has done a further right thing in pleading guilty to the offences.

Sexual predators targeting minors – disconcerting number of cases
The State Court on Thursday dealt with three separate cases of sexual offences committed by men against minors. They are the latest in what seem to be a frequent occurrence in Singapore, going by news reports, of such cases involving minors. (See definition of “minor” here.)
In the first case on Thursday, 48-year old odd-job worker, Lee Kia Kit, was sentenced to seven years’ preventive detention and was also given one stroke of the cane for outraging the modesty of two girls, aged 13 and 15, when they were on their way to school in March.
The Deputy Public Prosecutor told the court that Lee had also had three previous convictions for sexual offences since 2011. The DPP thus argued that imprisonment had “no rehabilitative or deterrent effect” on Lee whose previous offences, the court was told, were committed against victims aged between nine and 45.

Singapore's Ministry of Education fails to prevent teacher misconduct
The former National Junior College (NJC) teacher was found guilty of sending inappropriate messages to female students from April to June this year, including asking one to meet him in his hostel room. He is currently a student at Nanyang Technological University.
One of the victims had complained to NJC’s vice principal. “Our vice principal was alerted by the student’s parent about the inappropriate message sent in one encounter,” NJC’s spokesperson said. “An immediate investigation was carried out. The relief teacher had admitted and apologised for his inappropriate actions. The relief teacher is no longer with the school.” This puts the total number of reported cases to four – just over a span of three weeks.
In July, The Educator reported three cases of teacher misconduct in Singapore. One teacher was jailed for having an inappropriate relationship with his 15-year-old student. Another was found guilty of molesting his 13-year-old pupil. The third case involved a shocking drug scandal: a secondary teacher had asked her student to buy methamphetamine for her. The Ministry of Education (MOE) dismissed her from service during the investigation in 2017. Both teacher and student were charged separately.

NYGH teacher checked students' bra
CAUSED STUDENTS TO FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE; SCHOOL HAS APOLOGISED
A school did conduct a uniform check, and a teacher did proceed to check the colour of bra straps during the inspection. As it is, this is how it all went down.
According to Chinese daily Shin Min Daily News, a female teacher, believed to be the Secondary 4-year head, had unbuttoned students’ uniforms to verify the colour of their bra straps during the attire check. Apparently, Nanyang Girls’ High students are permitted to wear only white or beige undergarments.
Having supposedly done the attire check on behalf of the male form teacher, the teacher allegedly undid the collar buttons of students’ attires and pulled out their bra straps.
Pre-school teacher who humiliated 5-year-old boy suspended
A pre-school teacher who humiliated a 5-year-old boy for spotting long hair has been temporarily suspended by the school. The boy’s father had written a lengthy email post on Saturday (9 Jul) recounting how the teacher made his son stand in front of the class for sporting long hair, and put a “girl hair clip” on him, “much to the amusement of all the other kids”. The teacher further threatened to repeat the action the next school day if the boy did not cut his hair by then.
In his Facebook post which has since gone viral with over 2000 shares, the boy’s father Eric Cheong said that his son told him that he felt like dying. The father, painted the teacher who he identified as Ms Theresa, as ‘monster’ who the pre-schoolers were terribly afraid of. Eric said:
“What has happened to my son today is just one of the many, I would have to say improper conducts, for an early childhood teacher to be exhibiting. A few other parents also feedback Ms Theresa would use marker or pen that she is holding to poke on our children’s foreheads when they answered wrongly to her questions. She will use a water spray and spray into the kid’s mouth if they ever seen yawning in her class. She had in a few situations, tied up the kid’s legs together if they swing their legs in class. Just last week, my boy’s classmate vomited in class and she had the decency to make the kid clean up the vomit by herself, even though she was unwell.”read more
Primary school teacher investigated for abusive punishment of students
Several parents, unhappy with how a mathematics and science teacher was disciplining students in Gongshang Primary School, have lodged complaints with the school & the Ministry of Education (MOE).
According to the parents, the female teacher from the school in Tampines -- who has been relieved of her teaching duties & cannot be named as investigations into the case are still ongoing -- had resorted to abusive punishment of her students in the classes she taught.
The punishments ranged from the students being called names, having to kneel beside the teacher’s table, and getting objects thrown at them.
Teacher's Apology Did Not Placate The Boy
Posted on Wednesday morning, the video, taken in secret by a third party, shows a private conversation between “Justin” and his teacher, who tells the boy to “remember your agreement with me” and asks him to go back to his seat. “Justin” goes back to his seat for a while before going to another student’s table. The teacher shouts his name and the boy went back to his seat.
That was when the boy tells his teacher not to shout at him saying: “Am I deaf? Just answer my question…you should not shout, I’m not deaf, okay...Who ask you to shout? I’m deaf, ah?”.
“Justin” demands that the teacher says sorry to him. The teacher is heard apologising to the student for shouting and saying that “Justin” has to sit down.
Protecting Our Minors from Underage Sex Crimes
The 64-year-old man, who cannot be named to protect his grandson’s identity, had also morally corrupted his grandson by showing him pornography as a precursor to the sexual penetration and molest on two occasions, said the prosecution as part of its submissions for sentencing.
Deputy Public Prosecutors Winston Man and N K Anitha asked the High Court for a jail term of at least 12 years.
The prosecution also argued for the need to deter the man, who “demonstrated a degree of persistence in sexually abusing his grandson” in the family home.
