  • Female Malay Teacher Jailed 6 months for Tryst with Student

    A 42-year-old teacher was jailed for six months on Wednesday for committing indecent acts on a 13-year-old boy who was studying in the same school.

    She had pleaded guilty on Feb 5 to kissing him on the lips and giving him love bites on his neck and shoulder.

    In passing sentence, District Judge Ng Peng Hong noted that the case involved “the sexual grooming of a young victim by a teacher” and said that a jail sentence was appropriate as it is the public policy to protect the young and vulnerable.

    He also said that the teacher had breached her duty to the school and to the boy’s parents. Judge Ng noted the wide age disparity of 29 years between the boy and the teacher as an aggravating factor.

    The teacher and the boy had met in early 2012 when the boy was in Primary 6. He was in the same football team as the teacher’s son. She also taught his two sisters Malay dance at the school, which is in the west of Singapore. The boy and his sisters became friendly with the teacher and her four children, and he would also chat with her on Facebook.

    On four occasions from Oct 22 and Nov 13, 2012, he played truant to join her on trips to the movies, Sentosa and the Botanic Gardens. It was in the parks where she would kiss him and give him love bites. It was after their trip to the Botanic Gardens that the mother spotted the love bites. The boy revealed to her his relationship with the teacher.

    The parents informed the school and got their son to lodge a police report. The teacher was suspended and charged in court.

    Defence counsel Peter Fernando had asked the court to consider imposing a fine or placing the teacher on probation. He said his client had been suffering from a major depressive disorder but she is now coping well with treatment. However Judge Ng said that there was no psychiatric evidence of “a causal link” between her depression and her committing the offences.

    The woman, who had been teaching the Malay language for 11 years, could have been jailed for up to five years or fined up to $10,000 fine, or sentenced to both. She cannot be named as it could lead to the identification of the minor.

  • Cikgu Melayu buat hubungan sulit dengan murid

    A MOTHER noticed a love bite on her 13-year-old son’s neck.

    When she asked him how he got it, he revealed that it was from a teacher at his primary school. The woman was more than three times his age – and seven years older than the mother.

    Yesterday the 42-year-old teacher pleaded guilty to committing indecent acts on the youngster on a string of dates.

    A district court heard how he would play truant to join her on trips to the movies, Sentosa and the Botanic Gardens.

    They had met in early 2012 when the boy was in Primary 6. He was in the same football team as the teacher’s son, and she also taught Malay dance to his two sisters at the school – which is in the west of Singapore.

    The boy and his sisters became friendly with the teacher and her four children, and he would also chat with her on Facebook.

    One day in October that year, the lad set off for school in his uniform – but stopped to change, then met the woman for breakfast at McDonald’s at Nanyang Technological University.

    After taking a bus to a nearby park, she kissed him on the lips and gave him a love bite on his shoulder.

    They then went to see a movie at Clementi Mall before parting ways.

    She kissed him again on a trip to the Botanic Gardens on Oct 31, and did the same again at Sentosa the following day, as well as giving him another love bite on his shoulder.

    Two weeks later, they kissed and she bit his neck at the Botanic Gardens.

    But the following day, his mother spotted the mark and the boy spilled the beans.

    The parents informed the school and got their son to lodge a police report. The teacher was suspended, and charged in court.

    She cannot be named as it could lead to the identification of the minor.

    Deputy Public Prosecutor Santhra Aiyyasamy asked for an appropriate jail sentence yesterday.

    The maximum penalty for such offences is a $10,000 fine and a five-year jail term.

    She said the teacher had built a relationship with the pupil and taken advantage of him when he played truant.

    “Sexual exploitation of such young victims is completely unacceptable,” she added.

    Defence counsel Peter Fernando asked the court to consider placing the teacher on probation instead.

    He said his client had been suffering from a major depressive disorder when she committed the offences, but she is now coping well with treatment.

    The lawyer also said that his client, who had been teaching the Malay language for 11 years, was unlikely to break the law again.

    Her husband and family members were in court and tried to console her after the hearing. She will be sentenced on Feb 19.
