Seng Kang Green Primary School Bullying Case - with timeline

[Grizz90]

If I am a noob and not even a parent can think about the possible hazard, where are all the scholars and experts ?
None of them coming out NOW to issue any warning ?
Want to wait for mishap to happen than come out ?

pri 4-6 still got 3 more years. plenty of opportunities for bullies 1-3 to strike agn. and by dat time if it happens it might be a little too late..

 

[KPO_SAHM]

Many blind spots.. otherwise how you explain the numerous primary and secondary school kids vaping in school

Have cctv rather than no cctv

She’s no saint. She used slurs at people leh. How is highlighting this a personal attack? I also never say she deserves it. I did say the bullies need to be tackled. But in the long term, is she doesn’t reflect her behavior, she will have a life long challenge in this aspect, is all I’m saying.

Have u ever been bullied continuously before? When u reach a stage of helplessness and anger, do you still think you can behave appropriately and normally?

Dun think the gal can focus on her study any more.

CCTV will not prevent the bullying from happening...it can only be used to review what has already happened. Because everyone knows that no one is 24/7 watching the CCTVs and stepping in when they see an incident brewing. Even if they employ a security guard to watch every single CCTV from his office...you think he got time to rush down from his office to the classroom and stop a fight from happening if he happen to see an argument is brewing?

I think SG is relying too much of CCTV to monitor the situation. This is a reactive action to something which has already happened. We should do more to enforce and prevent such things from happening in the first place. Be more proactive.

Its the same like putting cctvs on the road...did it stop the heavy vehicles from speeding and driving recklessly in the mornings?

don’t twist the facts leh

cctv is a deterrent system
Not a live event management system la



At speed camera zone
Only stupid drivers drive above 90kmh


Speeding lorries - because there is no speed camera on that stretch of road lo
people Do it if they know they won’t get caught.

 

[Teyemittisi]

He has no kids. I honestly think this is difficult for non parents to understand.

Not only that.. it’s 3 vs 1 … it’ll be stupid of a girl to stand up to 3 boys..

 

[Teyemittisi]

her class only 3 boys and 1 girl?
if the 3 boys have been bullying her everyday?
where is her friends?
nobody stood up for her?

I was bullied before in p1..2.. usually everyone for themselves in front of a gang of bullies.. victims will try to avoid or direct the bullies to other victims to save themselves.. I experienced before ..

 

[Teyemittisi]

A primary 3 kid?

if a small kid say to you “f u”
You mean he really going to hav sex with you?

With axe incident , would you treat it as a casual joke if another kid threaten to do that to your kid in front of you? If a kid has the balls to threaten an adult, do you not think he can do that to your child!

 

[Agent_X]

Set up an anti-bullying in every school. Bypass the teachers and principals so no one can cover it up

 

[BradenHeat]

whats so difficult ?

just post the ******* of a kid full page and let the public witch hunt begin.

If police dont want or still dragging or belittling, then take it to the next level. We dont need another axe incident.....

there's a difference between CCTV and speed camera, you know right?
there are CCTVs everywhere on the road. we talk about CCTV not speed camera. Speed camera can detect speed, capture the moment and mete out the punishment later. normal CCTVs can't....so they can't deter people from speeding.

can CCTV detect any arguments from brewing into a fight? so do you think it will deter students from doing something bad? Nope...it will just be used to review what has happened when a complain is made. if the student they bully make a complain that is...and the teachers in charge believe and listen to their complains and start an investigation and review the footages provided the student can give an accurate date/time/location of where it took place.

think about it, even supposedly educated teachers who work in preschools who knows where the CCTVs are and what they are meant for...did it deter those teachers from mishandling the kids till it appear in the news? and its only when the parents of the kids found the bruises on their child, and they make a complain to those schools then they start an investigation and reviewed the CCTVs.

There's so many cases of it of it over the years.

and if the students are smart enough (smarter than most adult educators) know it can be used to review what has happened, what do you think will happen next? they will just bring their arguments/fights/bullying outside the view of the CCTVs ie outside the classroom/school.

Let's not forget, we are talking about this generation of bullies, who even when there are no CCTVs around...they themselves will record their acts of bullying and share it online.

And we have this case of the bully even stupid enough to go and threaten the parent over the phone..when its so easy these days to record phone calls...what are cctvs to them?

Ah ya, chiu all argue here rike debate gotch what use? Monitor lizards are monitor lizards. Nothing will change one rah.

Sengkang Green bullying case: People dissect MOE's statement & ask what more can be done​

Reactions.

The latest bullying case at Sengkang Green Primary School has sparked some conversation on the severity of bullying in Singapore.

The Ministry of Education (MOE) released its statement on the events and the timeline of the whole incident, which started at the end of April 2025 when the victim first reported the incident to her teacher.

Since then, numerous people have taken a look at the statement and timeline, questioning what more could have been done by the teachers and school and if the case could have been handled better.

It has also led to discussions on teachers' roles when handling bullying cases.

The duty of the teacher​

One parent took to the Facebook group Singapore Primary School Parents to ask how teachers can be equipped with "the power to mete out harsher punishments in school", which would serve as a form of deterrence.

The parent also asked if teachers can be trusted to handle disciplinary incidents or if they should resort to police presence in schools in the future. They reasoned that teachers are "not trained in interrogation and investigation to get the true facts from any incidents," and questioned if the police would be in a better position to deal with the incident, especially when death threats were made.

"This way, we can also free up teacher's bandwidth from handling these issues that they are not trained for, so that they can focus on their teaching duties."

A Singapore content creator, Familee, also weighed in on the teachers' roles in such bullying cases.

He said teachers should not be blamed when such incidents occur, as they are already overwhelmed by their workload.

To expect them to be able to expertly identify and handle "complex bullying cases" on their own is not realistic, as it can be challenging to differentiate between children playing and "actual bullying," he added.

As such, he suggested that the responsibility be shifted away from teachers and that the MOE should establish an "anti-bullying unit" in every school.

The unit would be comprised of trained professionals, such as investigation officers, to investigate bullying cases.

He also suggested a safe way for children to report bullying, either through an online form or a physical form they can collect from the school's general office.

He argued that a three-day suspension is insufficient as a punishment, likening it to a "mini school holiday for these bullies".

He also called for corrective work orders in schools, such as clearing the school yard or washing dishes in the canteen.

"Instead of blaming teachers, let's build a system that truly protect our kids."

Dissecting MOE's statement​

In MOE's statement, it said that when parents choose to publicise a "dramatised, one-sided account on social media, it causes further emotional distress for their children and hinders school efforts to rehabilitate and reconcile".

Ex-TOC editor Andrew Loh likened MOE's word choice to dismissing the victim's mother's account of what happened and found it hard to believe the mother's account was "dramatised".

He also argued that it was "highly unnecessary for MOE to attack the mother by accusing her of 'dramatising' the matter."

Former ST editor Bertha Henson provided a summary, saying that MOE has defended the actions of the school, maintaining that it had acted in a timely manner in a case of alleged bullying that surfaced on social media.

A comment on Reddit felt that MOE's statement felt like a "villainisation" of the mother by "policing her actions".

With many in the comments of news articles and other forums wondering if action would have been taken as decisively without the social media furore.

Stand up to bullies​

Ex-Nominated Member of Parliament Calvin Cheng took a different stance, sharing his belief that children should be taught to stand up to their bullies instead of "appealing to 'teacher' and authorities".

He claimed that those children would grow up to be adults who "report police" for every small matter, and outside of Singapore, such behaviour would "invite mockery".

He also said that Singapore seemed to "blithely accept that nine-year-olds who misbehave should be caned as punishment."

"We joke about this... But to be honest, it's a very uncivilised way to punish people," Cheng added.

How MOE handles bullying incidents​

Previously in Parliament, former Second Minister for Education Maliki Osman said that any form of hurtful behaviour is not acceptable and has no place in schools.

When an incident is reported, a school will conduct thorough investigations to understand the facts before deciding on the appropriate course of action, Maliki said.

This could include both disciplinary and rehabilitative actions if a police report is filed.

He explained that the Ministry of Education (MOE) and schools would "prefer to handle each case sensitively to provide space and privacy for the students involved to learn from their mistakes and grow from the experience."

However, if a case is made public online, and the information provided is "unduly skewed," MOE may need to release details of the case, including actions of all who were involved, to provide "a balanced view of the entire incident," he said.

This is to be fair to educators and all parties involved, he explained.

"While we would hope that members of the public can remember that what they see or read online may not present the full facts of the case, they will often react emotively to what they see online, and form quick judgments on what had happened, or who was in the right or wrong in that incident."

MOE shared in 2024 that in the last five years, the average number of bullying incidents has remained steady.

For every 1,000 students, there were an average of two incidents in primary schools and six incidents in secondary schools annually for any form of bullying, both within and outside of school.

Sounds like the mum is being "bullied" in the end for standing up.
Or do we want to stand up when it is too late ?
If that is the case, what is the point ?

saw some comment in FB asking the victim to transfer school, the correct way is to sack the 3 boys then ask them to apply other school.

Victim should transfer and where she posted be kept secret.

If 3 boys sacked, they can always come back and wait for victim at school gate. So moving the 3 boys away is not the solution. Let the 3 boys stay and let the principal rehab them.

The 3 boys will turn into BEAST like the student who threatened the teacher with a knife on the other thread.

Victim‘s mother is always seeking for transfer

now she decided to stay at school
