Seng Kang Green Primary School Bullying Case - with timeline

[I_m_limpeh]

No wor. Mandatory is primary school only. Not sure about the school having to find the next school if expelling it's students. Apparently per Gemini, it is the parents that need to ensure attendance of primary school.

Not if it's the school who expelled the student. It's only the parents responsibility to enroll kids in school for normal circumstances.

Dunno why when I see this thread title again I kept misreading it as "Sai Kang".

**Long-Term School Bullying and Death Threats—To Everyone Concerned About Student Safety**

I never imagined that one day I would have to seek justice for my daughter in this way.
This is not just about my child—it could happen to any child in any Singaporean family.

### **Background of the Incident**

On **July 24, 2025**, my daughter (9 years old, Primary 3 in a Singapore government school), who has always loved learning, excelled academically, and even received a government scholarship, came home from school emotionally devastated, crying and saying, *“Mom, I don’t want to go to school anymore.”*

After repeated questioning, she finally revealed that for nearly half a year, she had been relentlessly bullied by three boys in her class: they insulted, mocked, shoved her, destroyed her stationery, and erased her homework. She was also repeatedly subjected to racially discriminatory and deeply offensive slurs, including:

- *“******”*
- *“Shut up”*
- *“F*ck you”*
- *“Dumb ass”*
- *“****”*
- *“Qi bai”* (Hokkien for *“prostitute’s child”*)
- *“Stupid”*
- *“Bitch”*
- *“Shut up at your family’s grave”*

The immediate conflict that day (July 24) occurred when my daughter asked her classmates to quiet down in class, and two of them **hit her**.

### **The School’s Response**

Over the past few months, my daughter repeatedly reported the bullying to her teachers, but **no protective measures were taken**. The bullying began when she was suddenly moved to the **back corner of the classroom**—the spot farthest from the teacher and right next to the bullies—making her an easier target for verbal and physical abuse.

On the evening of July 24, I contacted the mother of one of the boys who hit my daughter to explain the situation.

The next day, the Form Teacher called to say that both sides were told to *“apologize to each other”* and claimed my daughter *“agreed not to change seats.”* However, when I checked with my daughter, she confirmed she was **forced** to agree, not willing.

### **Escalation to Death Threats**

On **July 26, 2025**, at around 4 AM, my family and I completed a detailed complaint letter and sent it to the school office and all relevant teachers.

Yet, just **three hours later**, at **7:07 AM**, I started receiving a barrage of harassing calls from different unknown numbers. The caller first confirmed I was *[daughter’s name]*’s mother (directly stating her full name), then sent multiple voice messages, including the following exact words:

> *“I might dissect her… I might dissect her into pieces like you. So which one do you want me to do? Dissect her? Or end her life in school? Choose one. Either don’t want one, I will kill you instead and your husband.”*

The threat came from **one of the alleged bullies**, who explicitly stated in the audio that this was **retaliation** for me reporting the incident to his friend’s mother.

### **Police and Follow-Up Actions**

I immediately **preserved all evidence** (phone numbers, original voice recordings, screen recordings), canceled my work commitments, and went with my husband to file a police report.

Even while at the police station giving my statement, I continued receiving harassing calls. After documenting all details and reviewing the evidence, the police advised us to **call immediately if any physical attack occurred**.

That same day, we formally submitted the incident (including the death threat recording and police report) to the school, the **Ministry of Education (MOE)**, and our **Member of Parliament (MP)** to ensure urgent attention and action.

### **Current Situation**

On **July 28, 2025**, after meeting with the school’s vice-principal, year head, and Form Teacher, they assured us they would handle the matter and take necessary measures. **We trusted them.**

However, on **August 1**, the same student who issued the death threat **attempted to attack my daughter again in school**. The school claimed they were unaware—we only found out by asking our child. We emailed the school expressing our concerns, as the retaliation was ongoing. **Unfortunately, the school did not reply.**

On **August 6 and 7**, my daughter was **attacked three more times** by the same student—all successful. Yet, **all teachers claimed ignorance**, saying my daughter should have reported it herself.

Now, my child is **too terrified to return to school** and has missed **four consecutive days**. She is currently receiving **professional psychological support**.

As of today, **MOE’s only response has been**:
> *“We have shared your email with our officer for their follow-up and they will be responding to you. We seek your understanding and patience should we take slightly longer to reply if more time is needed to look into the issue(s) you have raised.”*

Similarly, the **MP’s response was**:
> *“I understand the distress you and the family are going through. I have already sent the appeal and request to MOE when you first surfaced the request for assistance. I understand that you have alerted the authorities, including the School's leaders and Police, to the alleged bullying of your daughter. The agencies are looking into your daughter's situation and will work with you to address and resolve the issues. We will monitor and assist.”*

After living in Singapore for **16 years**, I never expected this. But since my daughter was bullied, the information I’ve found is horrifying. I’m in this group because my child is also a *“Monkey Baby”* (born in the Year of the Monkey). For the past two weeks, our family has been unable to live normally—our child is in constant fear. **All we want is for things to return to normal, for her to study in a safe environment. That’s it.**

i tell ya moe had put too much emphasis on paper education and learning, but never touch much on grooming proper social behavior. we are seeing more and more students behaving like hooligans. where is the school discipline that we used to see in the past?

MOE should enforce all schools need to escalate all disciplinary cases to minister to determine the punishment. He is a lawyer sure know what law and punishment to wack the student until the parent cannot say anything.

 

[Medicated Oil]

all crimes are investigated and trial individually..
but there are baselines to take reference from.

I put it in simple terms.

You are investigating a case with no solid evidence
(unless there is physical injury or video recording or CCTV footage) and unreliable statements from both parties
(what are the chances of the small kid giving you an accurate account without any interference from the parents or threat from the bullies.)
It is not forgetting that both parties still need to be in the same class for their lesson during the investigation.

I am not against any action or investigation to be taken.
However, I am foreseeing the difficulties faced by the teachers in getting TRUE account of what happened.
Without any solid evidence, it is very tough for the teachers and management to conclude on what ACTUALLY happened to mete out the fair punishment.
Which is also why the teachers are reluctant to perform the necessary actions.
It is not forgetting that they will also be tormented by the parents from both side.

Made me recall the SASS school student who threaten to end the teacher's life



School students can be scary

Thanks for helping us recall...."St-An..Secondary Sch boy threatened to end teacher's life":
1) many teens/youths are nowadays TALLER than teachers

Above went viral.....unsurprising if looots "invisible" other cases of educators' IMPLICIT threats by defiant wayward youths, esp TEENS r now generally TALLER than (older gens) teachers.

Would teacher risk his/her life to punish/correct the DEFIANT wayward youths/teens/kids?

All exacerbated by new-age woke-ism school culture as... punishing become SOFT counselling (baby-talk ) ...and this has root-causes in proliferation/rampant vapes/k-pods by youths,

Excessive youths entitlement lead to youths' rights to threaten educators, youths rights to vape.....whats next?

If primary school cannot resolve then it's impossible to do it at the secondary school level......

you are highlighting the investigation part.
before that, you can separate the kids , not place them next to each other in class.

i am talking about setting the baseline on punishments for bullying. (which is after the investigation).


But to say it's hard to investigate and not do anything is wrong.
So when you set out the baseline of punishment for bullying , then it's up to MOE to distill the SOP for investigation or containment strategy before the investigation outcome to the schools and staff.

Dont say hard to investigate or prove and then let's drop it.

The kids can still mingle with each other after each lesson and class.
So, the bully will not lay a finger on the victim ?

Maybe you can enlighten me about the baseline for the punishment.
The bullying itself is not as clear cut and defined as your typical crime.
How to define the degree of bullying ?

Is Desmond Lee busy playing football with Jeffrey Siow? No time to address the public?

The whole purpose of taking a tough stance on bullying is a deterrent to would-be bullies.
We cannot prevent the hardcore ones from bullying even after being separated from the victim, but that's where punishment are meted out.

baseline punishment for bullying is suspension at the minimum with public caning. worse one pack to boys home for 1 month.

Degree of Bullying is up to the MOE to define.


We take a tough stance on drugs usage and distribution.
baseline on what constituted offences are set by the government.

it's similar.

going by your logic that even if we make it tough for drugs to come into singapore but drugs distributors/users still get their drugs economy going, we should not do anything.

 

[niefeng80]

not say I want to say but the parents of such bullies cfm bullies themselves.

I guess we better stop our discussion here and let the unit in charge crack their brain if they want to.
(Using an adult mindset to tackle a kid issue may not work all the time.)

As for your last paragraph, I already addressed it in my previous comments.
I never mentioned about NOT doing anything.

For some things, you need an adult to deal with the kids.
Dont think like the kid to deal with the kid.
Don't Woke and take care of the feelings of the bullies.
They have taken away that right when they bullied someone.

It is what it is.. thanks to the many unreasonably demanding parents nowadays, MOE and it's school staff have become soft... During my time, I've never heard parents threaten to sue the school and caning was quite common... 羊毛出在羊身上。Now, people try to act tough and demand bullies to be caned...but if they are their children, they will wack MOE saying that caning is child abuse...how??? So, it is what it is... Thanks to the parents for this kind of education system to have evolved through the years....

 

[testart]

MOE teachers are all very scare of bully’s parents nowadays. No wonder can’t do anything. The victim’s mum is really helpless. So sad.

Who can punish bad students in school?
