Fatal abuse of Megan Khung: Review panel finds breaches by agencies, Masagos apologises

[alfonsoyy]

it's very sad as sinkie so kiasi. they kept pushing around who to call police, grandma don't want then all give up..
for me even if I'm a stranger on roadside seeing 4yrs old with so many obvious bruises not like fall from bicycle/running , I will even call the police.
Her teacher will suffer from guilt for the rest of her life..

I dun think the teacher gives af & mostly likely will continue to sleep well.

如果道歉有用，我们还需要警察吗

Saw it on news last night

I’m amazed after 6 years and the deceased mum and bf has been jailed and the gal death then they make it to the lime light and involve the social worker and police

Resulting to one of the police resign

An independent review panel found multiple breaches by agencies handling the case of four-year-old Megan Khung, who died in 2020 after more than a year of abuse. The Minister for Social and Family Development, Masagos Zulkifli, has publicly apologized, stating that the agencies accept the findings and are committed to strengthening child protection processes.

The table below summarizes the key lapses identified by the panel and the subsequent actions taken:

Agency Involved	Key Lapses Identified	Actions / Status
Child Protective Service (CPS)	Did not log calls for help; failed to probe for more details on Megan's injuries and situation.	Disciplinary investigation of the officer is underway.
Singapore Police Force (SPF)	Officers failed to follow procedures on a missing person report, preventing timely action.	Two officers disciplined; one resigned, the other was fined.
Beyond Social Services (BSS)	Incident report to authorities was delayed and did not fully describe the severity of Megan's injuries.	Accepted findings; has made changes to its workflows and reporting.
HEART@Fei Yue (HFY)	Did not take up the case for management when referred to them, despite concerning information.	Acknowledged the need for tighter protocols and has strengthened its processes.

The review panel made several recommendations to prevent such tragedies, including clarifying that child protection agencies should manage all child abuse cases and creating a formal appeals mechanism for cases where agencies disagree on risk levels.

In US, if parent's show unfit to take care a child , a simple report & their agency will take away your child for safety. We are so backwards

 

[boredom2012]

I think very difficult... They mostly likely gonna win again...

That's why sinkies need to suffer more.

 

[jack-320]

Apologie to who?

Pre-school teacher still need the pre-school principal's approval then can proceed to the next step.Unless the teacher don't mind the risk to lose her job then she will go ahead and handle this matter on her own.

SG pre-school hired a lot of foreigner teachers especially Pinoy/tiong bu.Do u think they want to risk their rice bowl?tachi to principal and principal just follow SOP can liao.

this is very serious, fell through all the process cracks....so many levels/layers could have avoided this tragedy

he should say sorry to the father personally

for what? the father is a major reason why the child is dead today

 

[106gunner]

for what? the father is a major reason why the child is dead today

Precisely, the dad, mum and the BF are the contributing factor of the child death

Should have apologise to the grandma since she the one who reported twice to police on the gal missing
