I think this is a concern for everyone in Singapore who have kids, mum-to-be as well as the public. I hope the media/news can reflect what is the stand/feedback from the relevant authorities/ppl involved, i.e. MOE, Police, Principal, Teachers, Parents, the relevant professionals (counsellor, psychiatrist, lawyer, etc) etc.
Further more,
- Had the students learn their lesson?
- Is the student's future ruin or another chance being given?
- Is the principal/school not appropriate in the way they handle the issue? If yes, other than apologise, what other actions had the principal/school undertaken to show their sincerity?
- Is there a system/check in-place to assist all schools or schools that need advice?

yea, watching AV in classroom, kena caught n came out in the papers lohOriginally posted by karen17:watch video in school? really? then wat happen? -
I think the teacher should not have called the police.
It is so easy to get porn nowadays. Instead of getting the police to catch the sellers, we are penalising our students who are young, impressionable, at a puberty stage.
I think the teacher just want to impress the principal and get promoted to Head Of Dept.

SINGAPORE : The 17 boys involved in the recent porn VCD incident at Kent Ridge Secondary have expressed regrets over their actions.
Some parents have also approached Mr S. Iswaran, MP for West Coast GRC, on Monday for help, expressing unhappiness that the school had referred the matter to the Police before speaking to them.

Like many other teenagers, the boys love football, hanging out together and watching VCDs.
This time though, it was porn VCDs.
Despite their light-hearted banter with reporters, the underlying tension was apparent.
The boy on bail said: "A little bit pressured waiting for the charges the Police are going to press against me. And when I will get back to school?"
The boy promised he would now study hard and go to a polytechnic or a junior college.
He said his mother initially felt angry, but later feels very sad for him, and has told him to change himself.
The parents met their MP for more than an hour, expressing concern over the fact that the school referred the matter to the Police instead of calling them.
Mr Iswaran said: "The parents are concerned about the fact that the school went to make a police report on this matter.
"The other part of it is that the parents are unhappy about the manner in which this whole episode was dealt with by the school from the time when they first started looking into the matter to the time the parents were brought in and the police were brought in.
"I will take this up with the Ministry of Education on two counts. The first is to ask whether the ministry has specific guidelines on how to deal with such matters. The other of it is also specifically what has happened, whether the school could be more forthcoming with a written apology to the parents."
The MP said he might also bring the matter up for discussion in Parliament.
Mr Iswaran said: "These are 14-year old boys. From what I understand, most of them have got pretty good or clean disciplinary record. If that is the case, then maybe we could have given them the benefit of the doubt...well everybody makes mistakes."
The boy on bail said: "I hope they will give me a chance to turn over a new leaf, and I hope I will not disappoint them, by studying hard and not repeat the same mistake again."
The Ministry of Education said the school should have handled the matter better - from letting the students concerned have their meal breaks, especially the boy with the special medical condition, to explaining the situation better to the parents.
Nonetheless, the Ministry said the school decided to call in the Police because of concerns over the source of the VCDs, as well as the possibility the problem might have been spread beyond the 17 students concerned.
The Ministry said the principal had the discretion over whether to call in the Police.
In this case, schools should not be disparaged for doing so, especially when there is evidence of illegal activity, it said. - CNA -
SINGAPORE : The principal over-reacted -- this is the general sentiment among many Singaporeans interviewed by our news team over the porn in school incident.
The principal had called in the police after finding a pornographic VCD on a 14-year student.

The investigation into porn at Kent Ridge Secondary has created quite a stir.
One secondary two student ended up in hospital because he was not allowed to eat for seven hours; another is out on bail and two more have been questioned by police.
"It's not as serious as stealing or injuring someone. They shouldn't treat it so seriously," one person interviewed said.
"If it's their first time, the action taken was just too much," another said.
"It'll definitely affect them. Though their action was illegal, it could have been handled differently or with some special care. They are still students and have got their lives ahead of them," a third person said.
But the principal of Kent Ridge Secondary has defended her decision to involve the police.
She said in an e-mail: "I decided to work with the police because this is a serious matter.
"I believe the police will be able to help us determine the extent of the problem and work with us to come up with viable solutions.
"I also informed the parents of the boys of my school's decision."
So what is next?
"The parents and the school should communicate and find out why the school made the police report. They should put aside their animosity and work together and find out the child's problems," said Arthur Ling, executive director of Fei Yue Community Services.
Curiosity about sex aside, Mr Ling says moral education about sex is just as important as sex education itself. - CNA -
Boy falls ill during investigation into porn VCD at school
By Derek Cher, Channel NewsAsia
SINGAPORE : An investigation into pornography at Kent Ridge Secondary School has taken an unfortunate twist -- one of the 17 boys hauled up by the principal has ended up in hospital.
The drama began after assembly on Monday, when 17 boys from a secondary 2 class were questioned about a pornographic VCD that had been confiscated from one of them.

It is believed they were passing the disc around.
The boys were made to sit along the corridor outside the school office and write down their side of the story. They all missed their recess and did not eat for seven hours.
As a result one student had to be hospitalised.
He suffers from a rare disease in which the walls of his intestines start to fuse together if he goes without food or water.
It is understood the boy is still under observation at the hospital.
The principal of the school, who declined to be interviewed on camera, said in an e-mail to Channel NewsAsia, "It was an oversight on our part that we had neglected to let the boys go for a break during the period of investigation. We are sorry that a boy has taken ill as a result. We have visited the boy at hospital to check on his condition."
The school has also involved the parents of the boys and the police in its investigation.
Three pornographic VCDs were handed over to the police, who detained and questioned a 14-year-old student.
He was later released on bail of S$2,000. - CNA -
Singapore Poly survey shows 62% of youths have visited porn websites

SINGAPORE: A new survey has found that almost two-thirds of Singapore's youths have come into contact with pornography on the internet.
The revelation comes just a week after 17 boys from Kent Ridge Secondary School were caught with porn VCDs.

There's no doubt young Singaporeans are comfortable in cyber space.
The latest figures show an incredible 96 percent of people aged 15 to 29 have an email account.
But being free and easy on-line also means there's a greater chance of stumbling across sites that are officially frowned upon.
And figures from the Singapore Polytechnic survey back that up.
It reveals more than 80% of the youths surveyed found it easy to view content considered objectionable including violence, racism and pornography.
The poll of 800 people also found 62% have actually checked out a pornographic website.
Perhaps not surprisingly, more than 70% are males.
Norman Phua, a student involved in the survey, said: "I guess it's just somehow more natural for males to want to visit pornographic websites because males are males."
Said another student Tan Wei Qi: "Males have this natural tendency to be interested in such things, and being hot-blooded youngsters, you might be more interested in such material online. Furthermore there will also be the factor of peer pressure."
A third student also involved in the survey, Ho Sie Sie, said: "The society is generally conservative, so there will be a natural curiosity among the teenagers to go into such sites and view the content. Because some of their parents may not be willing to share these information with them, so they may be curious."
And just how do people find this sort of thing?
Search engines are powerful tools that can help internet users find information that they need.
But these are also tools commonly used by youths to search for pornography.
Since nearly 80% of the youths gain access to the internet from home, the Singapore Poly feels that more can be done beyond using technology to ban access.
And there's no doubt the internet is here to stay.
The Poly's Director of the School of Business, Maheantharan, said: "We can't stop what's happening at home. So the key I think is education. How can we do it? We can do it by explicitly talking it in the classes.
"The other thing we ought to also do is to educate parents. As you can see from the survey, they access it from home, so parents ought to be aware that this is happening, and probably be educated on what to do to avoid, and also to educate the kids at home. So it should be a partnership." - CNA -
Education Ministry to work with schools to prevent another Kent Ridge incident

SINGAPORE : The Education Ministry is working with schools to make sure they have systems in place to prevent another similar incident at Kent Ridge Secondary where some students were found in possession of pornographic VCDs.
The students were also held for several hours without food.

Addressing concerns over the matter, Acting Education Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam said he stood by the principal's decision to call in the police, but not the way the students were handled.
Matters came to a head after school investigations on pornographic VCDs found on the students led the principal to call the police.
The Education Ministry took issue with the way the students were held during investigations, without a meal break.
Mr Tharman told reporters that the Ministry is helping schools so they can be better prepared for such incidents in future.
Mr Tharman said: "Disciplinary investigations are not a tea party, but you have to conduct them with a certain thoughtfulness and care for your students and in this incidence it was wanting, the principal had to make the difficult decision to call in the police."
The school was also concerned about the source of the VCDs.
There was a possibility that someone had sneaked into the school and supplied the VCDs to the students.
One school, Swiss Cottage Secondary, has put in place a system to protect its students.
Tay Lai Ling, Principal of Swiss Cottage Secondary School, said: "Schools have a lot of access points, the front gate, back gate, two gates. A school is pretty open if you ask me, we have a lot of suppliers, partners, that come in to conduct business. I feel we need to monitor that."
Students have to use a "movement pass" if they need to use the toilet during classes.
And visitors have to get a visitor's pass from the security guard at the school's gates. - CNA -
