National University of Sex - Part 2

New case of sexual misconduct surfaced in the best University in Asia.

Here are some interesting details and reactions from some bloggers.

--------------------------------------------------

25 cases involving sexual misconduct in NUS from 2015-2018 and how they were dealt with.

The National University of Singapore (NUS) voyeurism saga is not all that uncommon.

Three PDF documents detailing a comprehensive list of offences from 2015 to 2018 shines light on the consideration given in the cases, and the penalties meted out.

In one case, a NUS student entered a children’s toilet and filmed children in the adjacent cubicle on multiple occasions.

Interestingly, if the victims involved male students, it is less likely that police reports will be made.

Here are the cases that involve insult and/or outrage of modesty.

NUS undergraduate Ms Monica Baey was filmed showering in the hostel by a fellow student from the Faculty of Engineering. She lodged a police report and was told the pervert was only given a conditional warning instead of being charged in court. Past offenders of similar offences were typically given jail sentences.

Ms Baey said she tried to appeal for a heavier sentence, but was told by the investigating officer "You just have to accept the outcome" or "go to NUS and push for action".

We urged the Singapore police and AGC to apply the law fairly and equally to all by reopening the case and charge the pervert in court! Let a judge decide the appropriate punishment to be meted out!

We need to do more to protect our girls from such perverts! Such inaction is unacceptable and will only encourage more perverts to commit such crimes! It will also set an unhealthy precedent for future cases!

SINGAPORE — Education Minister Ong Ye Kung has expressed his concerns to the National University of Singapore (NUS) over the “manifestly inadequate” penalties that it has imposed in the recent sexual misconduct case.

Ong said in a post on his Facebook page on Monday (22 April) that he spoke to the NUS President and Board Chairman about the case on Saturday night.

“From here on, for offences that affect the safety of students on campus, we have to take a tough stand, and send a strong signal to everyone. Two strikes and you are out cannot be the standard application. NUS has to make its campus safe for all students, especially female students,” Ong said.

Ong did not specify the details of the case in his post. His comments come amid the furore over the conduct of a male NUS student who was caught on camera filming female undergraduate Monica Baey showering in a hostel toilet. Many NUS students and others have slammed the light punishments meted out to the offender.

The NUS Board of Discipline had ordered the male student to be suspended for one semester, banned from entering into housing premises on campus, undergo counselling, write a letter of apology, among other punishments.

The first-time offender was also given a 12-month conditional warning by the police. If the student were to commit an offence over the following 12 months after the warning, he would be prosecuted for both offences.

Ong said NUS will review its discipline and sentencing framework “swiftly and decisively”.

He added, “I am confident NUS’ review will result in a more robust process and stricter framework. The NUS Board and President are seized with this matter, and are determined to put a stop to such unacceptable behaviour on campus.”

The minister said he has also asked other universities to review their frameworks for similar offences.

Raging controversy over NUS incident

The incident has sparked many debates and widespread concerns over sexual harassment in university campuses in Singapore.

Earlier Monday, NUS said it will hold a town hall meeting this week to address concerns over the controversy.

“The University has heard your concerns. We are holding a town hall this week for NUS students, faculty and staff to gather feedback and concerns about sexual misconduct on campus and to discuss how the University can further strengthen its disciplinary and support frameworks,” NUS said in a post on its Facebook page.

On Sunday, almost 500 NUS students – with support from 194 students from other local universities and educational institutions – wrote a letter to the top management of NUS, urging them to take immediate steps to tackle sexual harassment on campus.

In their statement, the students wrote that the punishments given to the offender signalled that NUS “does not credibly enforce its stance against sexual voyeurism as a serious offence” and that “those who commit such an offence can arguably expect to receive a relatively light sentence”.

The controversy went viral online after Baey expressed anger over what she perceived to be light punishments imposed on the male student in several Instagram posts.

On Monday, Great Eastern said an NUS student has resigned from the company after it has suspended him for misconduct.

“We are aware of the recent incident involving Nicholas Lim, a Great Eastern financial representative. He has been placed on immediate suspension and has since submitted his resignation,” Great Eastern said in a post on its Facebook page.

“Great Eastern strongly disapproves of any inappropriate misconduct by our financial representatives and will not hesitate to take the necessary action,” it added.

SPF issues statement on Nicholas Lim
There have been public discussions regarding the 12-month conditional warning given to a 23-year-old male National University of Singapore (NUS) undergraduate who had committed criminal trespass and insulted the modesty of a female undergraduate at the NUS.

There are two factors (which are both inter-related and yet separate): the first relates to rules to ensure that premises like NUS provide a safe environment, and the second relates to criminal prosecution. On the first, Police understand that NUS is reviewing its rules, on how such conduct is to be treated.

On the second issue: Police and AGC understand public concerns, on ensuring that our laws and enforcement provide sufficient protection for potential victims, and sufficient deterrence against would-be offenders. That is the approach that Police and AGC take.

In deciding whether to recommend prosecution for a criminal offence, a number of factors are considered by Police in each case, including the age of the accused, the likelihood of reoffending/rehabilitation, the extent of remorse shown, whether there are aggravating factors (for example, like circulation of the offending images).

In this case, the accused was assessed to have a high likelihood of rehabilitation, and was remorseful. There were also additional factors relating to his conduct which were relevant, such as the absence of other obscene materials in any of his devices.

A prosecution, with a possible jail sentence, will, likely ruin his entire future, with a permanent criminal record. Taking into account these factors, he was given a conditional warning, which means that if he commits any other criminal offence within 12 months, he will be liable to be prosecuted for both this current offence and the subsequent other offence. He will then likely face a jail sentence.

Our criminal justice system seeks to temper punishment and deterrence, with giving offenders a second chance to reform, based on assessment of the relevant factors.

The approach in this case is consistent with the approach taken in other cases. There have been a number of similar cases, where such conditional warnings have been given.

Where other relevant factors are involved, for example, a prior criminal record, premeditation to evade detection, there will often be a prosecution.

Allegations that the man was not prosecuted because he has influential parents are untrue - the Police and AGC did not consider his parents' background. Such factors are irrelevant considerations. It is unfortunate that such untruths have been put out. The man’s parents have agreed for it to be disclosed that his father is a driver in the public transport sector and his mother is a housewife.

The Police are also aware of comparisons being made between this case and a 2015 case involving a 23-year-old man who was charged and sentenced to 10 weeks’ imprisonment for filming a woman showering at Republic Polytechnic (RP).

The accused in the RP case had committed multiple criminal trespass offences, taken deliberate action to avoid detection by covering up the CCTVs in the vicinity and covering his face with a towel, and did not own up voluntarily but was arrested following Police investigations to track him down.

He was a former student of RP and had committed the offences over a period of four months. As such, the Police, in consultation with the AGC, prosecuted him in court. The facts in that case are quite different.

The system has to be fair and just to Nicholas too

The system has to be fair and just, it can't be the more vocal ones get disproportionately more say over the rest...

So the current punishment meted out to Nicholas is based on precedent cases and through the board of discipline ...

NUS did no wrong as this system has been practiced all along. To single out Nicholas for special treatment is manifestly unjust...

The National University of Singapore (NUS) on Monday (April 22) said it has a "second strike and you are out" policy for sexual misconduct cases.

Setting out how the university handles such cases, NUS vice-provost (student life) Florence Ling told The Straits Times that a student found guilty of sexual misconduct for a second time will be expelled.

"For first-time offenders, because we are an educational institution, we want to give the students a chance. Student offenders who appear before the Board of Discipline for the first time are given a range of punishments, but not immediate expulsion," she said.

Corporate Reaction to NUS

SINGAPORE — The fallout over the National University of Singapore's (NUS) handling of a peeping tom incident has widened, with a company declaring that it will cease all dealings with the university while the mother of the victim lashed out at NUS for letting the perpetrator off "so lightly".

Meanwhile, almost 500 students put up a statement addressed to NUS' senior management, including president Tan Eng Chye, provost Ho Teck Hua and dean Peter Pang, calling on the university to take a "stronger stance against sexual harassment and set a positive example for other universities around the world".

The victim, 23-year-old NUS undergraduate Monica Baey, had taken to Instagram to publicise an incident in which she was filmed by a fellow student while she was showering in her hostel bathroom at NUS' Eusoff Hall last November.

She said that the police handed the perpetrator a 12-month conditional warning, while NUS got him to write a letter of apology to her, suspended him for a semester, barred him from entering halls and residences, and made him attend counselling.

She said in her posts that she wanted “real consequences for perpetrators that commit such acts”.

On Sunday (April 21), OnHand Agrarian, an urban farm that has taken in NUS students for internships, said in a Facebook post that it has made "the monumentally stupid decision" to compromise its product and clients by "allowing a criminal" to continue to use its facilities.

Therefore, the company said that it will "suspend all dealings" with NUS until the perpetrator is expelled.

"No talks, no internships, no site visits, no use of our company when you need industry partners to be Co-PIs (co-Principal Investigator) for government grant submissions," it said.

NUS had said on Saturday that it will set up a committee to review its current disciplinary and support frameworks.

The executive committee of the NUS' students’ union then said in a statement on Sunday that it condemns any form of sexual harassment at the institution, but urged fellow students not to harass the perpetrator.

Ms Baey herself was one of 489 signatories in a statement addressed to the NUS' heads on Sunday, expressing deep concerns about the university’s "approach towards sexual harassment".

The statement said: "While we understand the University’s need to maintain a balanced position on the matter and to keep in line with precedence, we find the punishment meted out in this case problematic because it signals to the NUS community at large that i) our University does not credibly enforce its stance against sexual voyeurism as a serious offence; ii) those who commit such an offence can arguably expect to receive a relatively light sentence; and iii) survivors of sexual violence and harassment will not receive adequate institutional and social support even if they voice their concerns to the relevant authorities."

The group of signatories made four recommendations, including suggesting that NUS make a "stronger statement against sexual harassment on campus" than the one dean Pang had issued, and publicly committing to a "zero-tolerance policy against sexual harassment".

"As one of the world’s top universities, we hope that NUS would take a stronger stance against sexual harassment and set a positive example for other universities around the world," the statement said.

Meanwhile, the victim's mother has called the 12-month conditional warning issued by the police to the perpetrator as "completely ridiculous".

"What this means is, the police are giving him a slap on his hand and say don't do it again within 12 months," Mrs Mary Baey commented on Facebook.

"How can we know this is not going to happen again and how can there be no serious consequences for such action?"

She also criticised NUS for letting the peeping tom off "so lightly with an absurd and pathetic apology, and a suspension of a semester", describing the punishment meted out as "completely unacceptable".

"I was given to understand that this is not the first case, there have been many cases, some reported to NUS and some that went unreported," Mrs Baey said.

"How can we place our trust in NUS, a national and international institution? This trust is now broken."

Keppel Corruption Scandal

In a press release by the Singapore authorities on Saturday (Dec 23), Singapore’s state-owned company Keppel Offshore and Marine (Keppel O&M) was fined S$567 million (US$422 million) for bribery corruption in exchange of several projects in Brazil. The fine will be distributed to three governments in the following shares: Brazil 50%, US 25% and Singapore 25%.

The US Department of Justice uncovered the Singapore corruption where Keppel made a total of S$472 million (US$351.8 million):

“Investigations showed the payments were made between 2001 and 2014 to officials of Brazilian state-run oil company, Petroleo Brasileiro (Petrobras). This was in order to win contracts with Petrobras and/or its related companies. KOM concealed these corrupt payments by paying commissions to an intermediary, under the guise of legitimate consulting agreements, who then made payments for the benefit of officials of Petrobras and other parties.”

According to court papers, a Brazilian agent made several undisclosed bribes representing Keppel to secure engineering projects with Brazil’s state-owned company. Keppel initially denied that they were involved but investigations from the US Department of Justice found that 5 Singaporean Keppel executives were involved.

The 5 Singaporean executives of Keppel have their identities covered up, there is no information provided to the public by Singapore’s Attorney General’s Chambers (AGC) and the Corruption Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB).

OIL, BRIBES, POLITICIANS: WHAT HAPPENED TO ‘CLEAN’ SINGAPORE?

Lee Boon Yang

Singapore’s state-backed corporate heavyweights – collectively known as “Singapore Inc” – will face tough questions in 2018 on their commitment to the Lion City’s vaunted anti-corruption ethos, observers say, as a shocked public comes to grips with a graft scandal that has engulfed oil rig builder Keppel Corp.

One political observer went as far as to describe 2017 as “annus horribilis” for the city state’s corporate sector. That sentiment echoed the hand-wringing among government critics that followed last week’s announcement by US prosecutors that Keppel’s offshore and marine arm, Keppel O&M, agreed to pay a US$422 million settlement to avoid a criminal trial for bribing Brazilian officials.

Keppel O&M, according to court documents released by the US justice department, engaged in a scheme between 2001 and 2014 to pay US$55 million in bribes to win 13 contracts with Petrobas and Sete Brasil – two Brazilian oil companies deeply mired in the country’s wide-ranging Operation Car Wash graft scandal. Keppel O&M is the world’s biggest builder of oil rigs.

The US$55 million topped the nearly US$19 million in bribes that were involved at a scandal at state-linked shipbuilder Singapore Technologies Marine, making it the biggest corruption case to hit one of the so-called Singapore Inc companies linked to state sovereign wealth firm Temasek Holdings.

The case – which culminated this year with seven people including the company’s former president being jailed – had already raised worries over whether the Lion City was slipping in its intolerance for graft.

Sons, mothers, money and memory: theories about the Lee Kuan Yew family feud
The country’s squeaky clean image, buttressed by its high rankings in international anti-corruption indices, had already taken a beating when Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong in July was forced to emphatically refute allegations of nepotism and abuse of power levelled by his own siblings.

Local political observer Eugene Tan said the latest case raised “serious questions about the Singapore corporate sector’s commitment to anti-corruption and ethical business dealings.”

“Given the scale and the length of illicit dealings, it raises legitimate questions of corporate governance, board leadership and stewardship,” said Tan, a law professor at the Singapore Management University.

“The scandal caps a year where Singapore’s branding, reputation and integrity have been negatively impacted. 2017 has been Singapore’s annus horribilis.”

Online, questions were swirling over contradictory statements Keppel O&M had made on its involvement in the scandal. When reports of the probe first broke in 2016, Keppel O&M denied any of its executives authorised bribes paid by its Brazilian agent Zwi Skornicki.

But in its statement following the December 22 settlement, the company acknowledged the US justice department findings that the corrupt payments were “made with knowledge or approval” of former executives.

Also under scrutiny were court documents that showed the settlement was reached after one of Keppel O&M’s lawyers cut a deal with the justice department and cooperated with investigations.

The case was resolved without trial because Keppel O&M agreed to enter into a deferred prosecution settlement, while its US subsidiary pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

Singapore’s attorney general’s chambers and anti corruption agency said the settlement was part of a “global resolution”, and that local authorities had served the company a “conditional warning” in lieu of prosecution given the substantial cooperation it had rendered during investigations. Investigations into individuals involved in the case “are ongoing,” the two agencies said in a statement.

Pritam Singh, one of six lawmakers from the opposition Workers’ Party in the 89-seat legislature, said on Facebook that he was “most surprised” the two agencies did not provide “any substantive information on this scandal” apart from its media statement.

Family quarrels, cold wars: emails put Lee Kuan Yew’s private life on show as daughter’s feud with Singapore PM heats up

The opposition party was planning to quiz Lee and finance minister Heng Swee Keat when parliament next sits on January 8, Singh wrote on Friday, describing the development as “what must be one of the largest corruption scandals in the history of Singapore’s government linked companies”.

Elsewhere, political blogger Andrew Loh said questions remained on why the company’s top brass – including its chairman Lee Boon Yang – were not aware of the extent of the graft.

Lee is a former cabinet minister and concurrently holds the chairmanship of Singapore Press Holdings, the publisher of The Straits Times newspaper.

The court documents said the bribes were paid between 2001 and 2014. Lee Boon Yang took over as chairman in 2009. His predecessor, Lim Chee Onn, also a former minister, helmed the company from 2000 to 2008.

“If the chairman and CEO and the board did not know, then they must be grossly incompetent,” Loh wrote.

Jeffrey Chow, the former Keppel lawyer who pleaded guilty, had reportedly said in his plea hearing that he became aware of the graft when he drafted contracts with a company agent who was being overpaid by millions of dollars.

“I should have refused to draft the contract that we used for paying bribes and I should have resigned from Keppel,” Chow said, according to a Reuters report quoting court transcripts.

The deferred prosecution agreement published on the US justice department website said Keppel O&M received “full credit for its substantial cooperation” into the investigations.

Among other things, seven employees implicated in the saga were “separated” from the company, and it imposed some US$8.9 million in “financial sanctions” on 12 former or current employees, the documents said. The US$422 million settlement will be distributed between the US, Brazil and Singapore.

A Keppel O&M spokesman told This Week in Asia the company was “deeply disappointed” by the saga, and had taken steps to make sure it would not happen again.

Still, it will take time for Lion City to restore its pristine international reputation left tarnished by 2017, observers say. “Keppel’s conduct smears the Singapore brand and suggests Singapore is not exceptional at all. It owes Singaporeans an apology,” said Tan, the law professor.

National University of Sex

While I hate to bash a highly reputable local University, that is ranked amongst the top ten in the world, but the truth must be spoken, and hopefully this will help make the University even better in the longer term.

For parents, if you are watching this video which was forwarded (the link) to me via WhatsApp, the girl or the boy could be your kids when they enter the University or Polytechnic in future. Imagine if they are subjected to such sexually demanding acts? This is just the orientation. Are they going to be doing this to each other naked upon graduation? Perhaps, it is a good idea after all, to send them to some foreign university instead.

Have this got something to do with the kind of foreigners we are enrolling into our Universities and Polytechnics? Some, of course, were reported to have dubious qualifications from their home countries. Weren't they supposed to have more superior genes than our locals?

For our future references, here are some valid points mentioned in some reports. Starting from Stomp.com.sg, which I believe is where the video originated.

[ A tertiary school's orientation game depicting a guy pushing his crotch against a girl's face has raised some eyebrows for being too sexually-suggestive.

Stomper Anonymous sent in this video to Stomp, which she got from a friend. 

In the clip, the students seem to be playing a game, where the guy does a pumping exercise on top of the girl -- with his crotch against her face.

The other students even told her "not to cover" her face, as they purposefully push him down.

Does this really promote bonding, as they say, or does it go too far?

According to blogs, camp facilitators have made girls lick whipped cream off a guy's chest or neck. 

There was also a sexual-themed activity called 'Secret Pals'. “They wake the participants up at 3 a.m. and blindfold them, and make the girl sit on the guy’s lap,” an organiser said.

Other games include passing MnM chocolates to each other using only their mouths.

Stompers have also written in to share about chalets where students were made to take off their shirts.

According to AsiaOne, students from some schools said their orientation camps often included risque games and forfeit, while others are milder. ]

The Straits Times have this to say:

[ Students say NUS orientation camp games increasingly sexualised; some told to re-enact rape scene

The girl had to lie on the floor, then the guy pretended to kick open a door and say, ‘Kor kor (big brother) coming.’ The girl had to respond, ‘Mei mei (little sister) don’t want.’ He then kicked open her legs and did push-ups while lying on top of her.

- Kim

These were just examples of the sexualised activities that hundreds of freshmen were made to participate in some of the National University of Singapore’s (NUS) orientation camps in the past two months. One was asked whose bodily fluids she would like to drink, while another watched her peers re-enact an incestuous rape scene.

Some students said they attended the camps to make friends, but they were instead pressured to take part in increasingly sexualised activities. 

“Every time I didn’t take part, I was so scared that the orientation group would write me off as a prude and ostracise me,” said Chloe, who requested not to be named for this reason.

She added that the camp’s cheering and chanting was also sexualised, with references to the male anatomy, that made her blush.

“(The cheers) were so senseless. I hated them, but apparently it’s tradition that has been passed down from previous batches,” she said.

Another 19-year-old freshman, Kim (not her real name), told TNP that she was grabbed from multiple directions by different students during a game that involved soap and water.

“I didn’t even know where they were touching. It was so physical. I ended up in pain, and it was a scary experience,” she said.

One of the forfeits for a game required a male and female freshman to re-enact a rape scene between a young man and his younger sister, which was even uncomfortable to watch.

The activities have also become raunchier, with this year’s games at the National University of Singapore (NUS) being the most lewd and explicit.

In 2006, The Straits Times (ST) reported that activities involving lip contact and the washing of armpits at the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and the NUS orientation games left students flustered.

This was followed by a similar report in 2008, in which ST quoted an NUS student who sat out an activity where male students did push-ups on top of female students.

In 2011, The New Paper reported that a girl cried after orientation games at the Singapore Institute of Management-University of London became too close for comfort.

The activities were similar to those at NUS in 2008, with male students leaning over female students on the ground.

In 2014, NUS was again in the spotlight after complaints that a male student was stripped to his shorts before being blindfolded and bound with tape, as female students licked whipped cream off his neck.

LAWYERS: SUCH ACTIVITIES COULD BE AGAINST THE LAW

Instead of building a culture of respect and consent, such sexualised activities will promote a culture of rape and bullying.

Ms Jolene Tan, 33, programmes and communications senior manager for the Association of Women for Action and Research (Aware), said such activities are uncalled for, and that more should be done to protect the students.

“Such activities are very inappropriate, and promote bullying, the objectification of women, and is an unhealthy trivialisation of sexual violence,” she told The New Paper.

“They are alienating rather than bonding, and potentially traumatising to anyone there who has experienced sexual assault previously.”

She added that new students feel pressured to take part or be left out, resulting in many choosing not to voice their discomfort.

“Even if they are uncomfortable, they won’t say it because they don’t want to be a spoilsport.

“The whole culture needs to change. There needs to be a policy in institutions that is explicit about harassment.”

A survey of 500 young people aged 17 to 25 conducted by Aware in 2014 found that one in three had experienced sexual assault or harassment, said Ms Tan.

The reported behaviours included unwanted sexual remarks, receiving of unsolicited pornography, and rape and other physical sexual assaults.

Lawyers told TNP that such activities outrage the modesty of women, and police reports should be made by individuals who feel violated.

Criminal lawyer Ravinderpal Singh of Kalco Law said such activities could easily be considered to be a violation of the Penal Code, which criminalises any word or gesture intended to insult the modesty of a woman.

“If the woman takes offence and feels outraged, she can make a police report,” he said.

“The school can also be liable if it is negligent, and fails to provide a safe environment.”

He added that the school has a duty to ensure the well-being of all students.

“You cannot evade liability even (if students sign) a form,” he said.

“There definitely should be checks done by the school to ensure that such things do not happen.”

Another criminal lawyer, Mr T.M. Sinnadurai of Regent Law, said: “The words they used are gross and could be considered offensive. In my opinion, it is wrong.

“Even if there is no physical touching, it is still a violation.”

The father of a 20-year-old girl said that if his daughter were placed in a similar situation, he would immediately make a police report.

“I would be outraged if someone did something like that to my daughter,” he said.

“No one should be forced or pressured into such activities, and a police report should be made.

“A school is a place where you have to learn to get your morals right. If the school teaches these things, then it is the wrong place to start your learning.”

Each time, the replies from the universities to queries follow a similar pattern.

The universities would highlight the guidelines in place and that they do not condone such behaviour. They would then promise to investigate and take action against anyone who breaches the rules.

They also mention that participation in the camps is voluntary. But freshmen say they feel pressured to take part for fear of being ostracised.

In recent years, the institutions have implemented channels for feedback.

Yet, a decade on, nothing has changed. ]

And this is from the Horse's Mouth. 

An article in the NUS's Campus Eye (blog.nus.edu.sg) written in 2014 reproduced here for quick reading and reference:

[ SINGAPORE, Sept 18 (Campus Eye) – Orientation camps at the National University of Singapore (NUS) often feature sexual activities, according to students from the university.

These activities came to light on Jul. 31, when a letter criticizing these activities written by an NUS student’s aunt was published in the Real Singapore, a social-political website.

“The camp facilitators were making the girls … lick (whipped) cream off his neck, his nipples and also rub (their) hands on his thigh, trying to sexually stimulate him,” wrote the author, who identified herself as “Ms. Ng”.

Most students who were interviewed had either seen or heard of similar activities.

A student who attended a camp organised by Kent Ridge Hall witnessed forfeits such as Seven Wonders, in which two students touch each other as instructed by their peers, and male students doing push-ups over females.

The student, who declined to be named, said these activities were passed down from earlier generations of students.

Forfeits are typically unplanned, and agreed upon by leaders and participants, including those who are not doing the forfeits, just before they are done.

Psychology Camp organizer Lau Boon Yen described a similarly sexual-themed activity called Secret Pals.

“They wake the participants up at 3 a.m. and blindfold them, and make the girl sit on the guy’s lap,” Lau said.

PLAYING WITH OPTIONS

An NUS spokesperson told the Straits Times that participants can opt out of activities they are uncomfortable with.

However, Yong Yen Lu, a Cultural Activities Club Social Camp participant this year, disagreed.

“Some of them (orientation group leaders) didn’t know their limits … If you didn’t want to, they would say no,” Yong said.

In contrast, Tembusu College orientation organizer Alison Chew said group leaders know where their limits are, and would allow participants to opt out.

Chew said she trusted group leaders to be responsible for the “image of the college” because they were interviewed.

TRUE PURPOSE OF CAMP ACTIVITIES?

Both Chew and Lau also said participants were encouraged to give feedback to their leaders, which were then used to make changes to the camp program.

Physical activities are often planned, as they facilitate group bonding, said Lau.

However, the anonymous Kent Ridge Hall camp participant felt these activities were a reflection of society’s patriarchal attitudes.

“I don’t think we should be blaming the students; we should all just reflect on our own culture that sexualises women on a daily basis.

“We should be looking at the kind of images, the kind of messages we allow in society, through media, and through just our daily conversations because, after all, patriarchal attitudes are inherited,” she said.

Jack Neo Sex Scandals

Jack Neo will tell all
DISGRACED filmmaker Jack Neo will tell all about his two-year affair with a freelance model after the dust has settled, said his manager Tang Wing Fai.

Chinese daily Lianhe Zaobao on Monday reported that Tang had discussed with Neo, who said he would meet the media 'once and for all' when he has settled the matter with the affected parties. For now, he said Neo's priority is 'to make peace with his wife and children'.

Neo's wife, Madam Irene Kng, 46, told Zaobao that the whole family has moved out of their Pasir Ris semi-detached home and is staying temporarily at another place, leaving the maid to look after their home. She would not disclose details of her current location.

Jack Neo’s wife has forgiven him for his 2 year- extramarital affair with a 22 year old model, Ms Zhong Jiayan, Lianhe Wanbao reports.

The famous Singapore comedian turned movie director has made the headlines lately after it was spilled to the media that the model had leaked the affair to Jack Neo’s wife, Mdm Kang Meifeng.

According to Ms Zhong, she first knew Jack Neo while filming “Money Not Enough 2″ 2 years ago after which Jack Neo started courting her. They started dating a week later.

Jack Neo admitted that he had thought of ending the relationship, but Ms Zhong always threatened suicide to keep him by her side.

Ms Zhong had gone to Jack Neo’s place at Pasir Ris yesterday to expose their 2-year affair to his wife. To her surprise, Jack invited her into his house and asked his wife to meet her.

Mdm Kang asked her what she wants and told her calmly that she already knew about their affair a year ago. She suggested they have a talk outside so as not to disturb her children.

The three proceeded to talk at a Crowne Plaza restaurant together with Ms Zhong’s father and sister as well as Jack’s pastor and family friend who joined them later.

Ms Zhong revealed that she had gone overseas with Jack on four occasions during their relationship. Jack has since apologized to his wife who had forgiven him.

Jack Neo sexual approach on Foyce Le Xuan

Lianhe Wanbao on Monday identified the latest woman as 25-year-old Foyce Le Xuan (above), who alleged in an interview with the Chinese evening daily that Neo had sexually harassed her when she was a member of the Liang Jia Ban (Neo's Family Group).

HE WOOED her with the promise of grooming her into 'Fann Wong No. 2', and even booked a hotel room so they could get to know each other better.

This claim was made by a second woman who has decided to speak out on Singaporean filmmaker Jack Neo, just days after a 22-year-old freelance model Wendy Chong broke the news of her two-year fling with the Cultural Medallion recipient.

Lianhe Wanbao on Monday identified the latest woman as 25-year-old Foyce Le Xuan, who alleged in an interview with the Chinese evening daily that Neo had sexually harassed her when she was a member of the Liang Jia Ban (Neo's Family Group).

Ms Le, described by the Chinese daily as 'sexy and beautiful' and drew comparisons with Hong Kong pop star Coco Lee, was a member of Liang Jia Ban for a year from 2004.

In the interview with Wanbao, she claimed that Neo wooed her aggresively after she joined his entertainment group. Once, he allegedly told her that he had made a reservation at a hotel and was waiting for her so that they could spend 'quiet and private' time together to 'get to know each other better'. She did not show up.

She also said that when she first started out at Liang Jia Ban, Neo offered to send her home as she lived in Tampines, which was near his Pasir Ris home. But these rides turned out to be more than innocent, she claimed.

Shortly after, she alleged that Neo tried to hit on her. She said once in his car, Neo grabbed her hand and said, 'I want to groom you into 'Fann Wong No. 2'. I will direct a film and make you the lead actress.'

'At that time, I was only 20, just a small girl... I didn't dare to speak out... When he held my hand tight, I didn't even dare to resist,' she told Wanbao.

On her decision to go public with the affair, Ms Le said: 'After reading the reports on Wendy Chong in Wanbao, I was reminded of a very unpleasant period in my life. Jack Neo's wooing methods are the same. He asks for your number, sends you an SMS, and says all sorts of sweet things to his 'prey'.

She added that she 'admired Wendy Chong for standing out to reveal the truth'. This, she hoped, would prevent similar incidents from happening.

There were totally 8 persons from both of sides. They discussed about two and a half hours before leaving.

Jack Neo asked for Zhong Jia Yan’s handphone number

According to Zhong Jia Yan, two years ago, she went to audit for a small nurse role at Neo’s film That NOt Enough 2 and he requested her handphone number and invited her to the film scene to watch his filming.

“This sort of things, I thought it can only take place in the movie, never expected to happen to myself. His special attention to me [for the film] took me by surprise. So we began flirtings after one week.’

She said, both of them were “attracted each other,” in the first three months they never said “I love you,” but they had a common sense in their minds and only hoped they could be together as long as God wishes.

“Cheating On me”

Zhong Jia Yan said, she and Jack Neo had been in a relationship for two years, the reason why she decided to go public for their affairs on Friday was because she was unsatisfactory with Neo’s demeanor.

She said, the night before yesterday’s, when she met up with Jack Neo, he stared her eyes and said “I love you”

On Friday morning, they should have went to watch Fann Wong Fong’s Happy Go Lucky together.

“Although I said I did not want to go, in fact, I had finished the make-ups and prepared to go, did not anticipated he told me, since I did not want to watch the movie, he must go to the lawyer’s office to help his wife do something on the contracts.”

Zhong Jia Yan said the two had used to report each other’s wherebout, but after Jack Neo told her he couldn’t go to the cinema, he neither operated calls from her nor said of his whereout.

“In the beginning, I felt there must be something wrong, suspecting he goes to see other women. I had accumulated piled-up grievances in the past few months. So in a moment of anger I rushed to his house to foul around.”

Mr and Mrs Jack Neo

Overseas Lovebirds
Zhang Jia Yan said Jack Neo bought her a ticket to go with him together when the director flied to Kuala Lumpur to film his Love Matters.

“Last May, he went to Taiwan to promote his That Not Enough 2, other than producer Tang Si Wei, he also took me on his side.”

Zhong Jia said, later when Jack Neo Chee Cheong went to Thailand to attend the film festival or worked at Batam Island, she accompanied him.

” When he was working, I went to do shopping on my own. But after he finished his work, we stayed together and enjoyed the world of two persons overseas.’

Bonus, a few details from The Tamasek Review

Jack Neo admitted that he had thought of ending the relationship, but Ms Zhong always threatened suicide to keep him by her side.

Ms Zhong had gone to Jack Neo’s place at Pasir Ris yesterday to expose their 2-year affair to his wife. To her surprise, Jack invited her into his house and asked his wife to meet her.

Mdm Kang asked her what she wants and told her calmly that she already knew about their affair a year ago. She suggested they have a talk outside so as not to disturb her children.

The three proceeded to talk at a Crowne Plaza restaurant together with Ms Zhong’s father and sister as well as Jack’s pastor and family friend who joined them later.

Ms Zhong revealed that she had gone overseas with Jack on four occasions during their relationship. Jack has since apologized to his wife who had forgiven him.

This looked like Jack Neo and Ms Zhong Jiayan's video during some "negotiation".
The resemblance is entralling:

Chinese, Burmese and Indonesian women are generally willing and good cock
suckers.
Any one who like to have a good cock sucking wife should marry these
nationalities or race.
Forget about Vietnamese, Thais and Filipinos. They will bite your cock off
instead.

'I shouldn't have continued affair'

FREELANCE model Wendy Chong has regretted letting her affair with Jack Neo drag on for two years.

She told Shin Min Daily News in an interview: 'The last two years has been tumultuous for us, ending with both of us deeply hurt and scarred.

'I feel I have grown up a lot overnight. Previously, I didn't give a damn to anything else in the pursuit of love. I just wanted to possess him, regardless of whether I was right or wrong. And I got myself into a mess.

'I now realise I was wrong and I have hurt many people. I shouldn't have gone into an affair in the first place, shouldn't have fallen in love with him.

'It's like taking drugs, you think you have control of your feelings and yourself, but in the end, I couldn't get out of the mess. I just got myself more and tangled and eventually found myself at a dead end.'

THE 22-year-old model who spilled her two-year affair with filmmaker Jack Neo said she won't return to him again.

Wendy Chong told Shin Min Daily News: 'Disappointment and sadness have replaced my love for him. Even if there was a shot at a second chance, I wouldn't want it. Even if he wanted to return, I wouldn't accept it.

'But I know Jack. He won't turn back. He is probably feeling very remorseful and guilty about his actions.'

In an interview with the Chinese evening daily, Chong also expressed guilt and regrets for alerting a reporter to the meeting with Neo and his wife last Friday at Changi Airport's Crowne Plaza Hotel, after she showed up at his Paris Ris home.

'I was a little rash and wonder if I have caused harm to innocent children. But the next day, after reading the reports, my guilt subsided. Because Jack Neo lied. He told me that besides me and his wife, there weren't any other women.

'He also swore to god countless times, that if he had other women, he would be hit by a car, and asked me to believe him.'

'But later I found out that even his wife knew that there Jack Neo had trysts with other women. Looks like I came out looking sillier in this incident.'

Chong also apologised to Neo's wife, Madam Irene Kng, 46, and her four children, as well as to her own parents for causing them embarrassment.

She advised other 'third-party' women to cease their affairs with married men as 'it's tough to be a mistress.'

In an interview with the Chinese evening daily, Wendy Chong (above) also expressed guilt and regrets for alerting a reporter to the meeting with Neo and his wife last Friday at Changi Airport's Crowne Plaza Hotel.

Wendy Chong reveals that PBM Jack Neo tried to commit suicide twice because of her during their affairIn an interview with Chinese tabloid Shin Min Daily, a former mistress of PBM Jack Neo revealed that he had attempted suicide twice during their tumultuous two year affair.

This seemed to contradict earlier statements by PBM Jack Neo that he was unable to break off with Wendy earlier due to her repeated threats to kill herself if he leaves her.

Wendy claimed that PBM Jaack Neo cried no less than 10 times in front of her and tried to kill himself on two occasions. In one instance, he wanted to open the window and jumped off a building. In another, he was drink-driving on the road.

“I was at Raffles Town Club and had a huge fight with him because I suspected that he was meeting another girl. He was very angry and anxious and threatened to open the window and jumped off. Fortunately, the window did not open……There was once when he was angry with another guy going after me and we had a quarrel over it. He ran to East Coast Park and drank a lot of beer. I went from Yishun to East Coast to find him and asked him to return home. He sped along the road and hit a bus. Though I asked him to slow down, he still continued speeding to end his life together with mine,” Wendy was quoted as saying in Shin Min Daily.

PBM Jack Neo is a prominent grassroots leader and a close friend of George Yeo who had openly called for Singaporeans to “rally” around him almost immediately after the eruption of the scandal when he had maintained a two month silence on a road traffic accident involving a Romanian diplomat which robbed the life of an innocent young man.

JUST a month after meeting Jack Neo at an audition for Money No Enough 2 in 2008, freelance model Wendy Chong(Zhong Jiayan) had sex with the Singaporean movie director in his car.

She revealed the lurid details of their tryst in an interview with Shin Min Daily News on Sunday. She claimed that Neo had curtains in his car and the windows were tinted, and they had to be careful not to leave hair behind.

The 22-year-old model, who broke her two-year affair with one of Singapore's most successful film-makers in the Lianhe Wabao evening newspaper last Saturday, told Shin Min: 'I got the role of a nurse in Money No Enough 2 and I was excited as it was my first big screen role.

'That day, it was Jack who came over to me and began chatting. He even asked for my number. Of course, I gave him my number - the most famous director in Singapore asked for it.'

Chong said she did not take Jack seriously but claimed the 50-year-old director called her the next day, inviting her to his set. Days later, she went with him to a production house in Outram Park to see how movies were edited.

One day, after watching Neo direct a movie, Chong claimed he offered to take her home, and later inside his Toyota Alphard, they had sex.

She told Shin Min: 'His car has curtains and the windows are tinted, so even though we had sex, it was safe. But after we were done, Jack was careful to get rid of all traces of our tryst. He said no strands of hair should be found and the inclination of the car seats should be adjusted back to where it was.'

Neo has been married for 27 years and has four children with Madam Irene Kng, 46. Neo's affair with Chong was exposed when the mistress showed up at his semi-detached home in Pasir Ris on Friday, demanding to see his wife.
