If that was really the case, then I think s'poeans should petition to have HC closed down, the principal sacked and have MOE explain what sort of values are they teaching our kids. ;(

Why do we need to shed our pitiness and give the boy a second chance when he never even take the opportunity to feel remorse and apologise for his media statement? THAT chance is hard to come by and sorry to say, he gave the only chance up. He still thinks he's right by saying he has committed an "accident"
And pls dun get the "middle-class" or "high-class" comparison here. By throwing his punch in the 1st place, he dun deserved to be in ANY of the "class". Why tok abt income classes here? He already cant handle the harsh facts in schooling life, let alone the working/social life?
Worse, the school is famous of its Chinese heritage teaching, which I believe will disappoint a lot of those alumus
Moment of weakness?I agree with everything you say. I'm not too happy that the school made such a poor press statement.
I was from RI. I remember this case, where a boy stole a dictionary from Kinokuniya. It was an expensive Jap-English dictionary which he needed for his class, and he probably could not afford it... so in a moment of weakness, he took it. He was caught. The principal apologised asked Kinokuniya to let the school handle the matter. After that, he caned the boy on stage during assembly. Before he did that, he gave a speech. In this speech, he pleaded to everyone to learn from this lesson, and not to treat the boy any differently after this. He said that the boy has paid for the mistake, so he should be given a 2nd chance. I remember the boy was very sad and reclusive after that for a while. But in a few months, he was normal and went about his life.
As for army, I'm sure he will have a few things to learn in the army. The army is discipline and character building. Actually, I think it will be good for him.

I don't recall stealing things.... 'in a moment of weakness'. I'm taught from young, "If u can't afford, save until u can do so."
Yes... he should not brush it off by saying that it's an accident. But right about now, he should be feeling more fear than remorse.
I do not pity him. I sympathise with him. Why? I just do. Just as I feel your anger, I feel his fear...
I wasn't the one who labelled him as an elite... and I agree that class comparison is irrelevant here.
And pray tell... what is so harsh about the facts in schooling life... what is the relevance of working/social life? And what do all these have to do with what he deserves?
Anyone with good English can help to write to MOE, Strait Times or whatever channel to complain the fact that HC principal should not just brush the whole issue off with "it was just an accident!" and should have more responsible upon dealing with such cases.
What the principal did really pissed me off! :angry:
Next time his student killed people (like the VT uni case in the USA), the principal also say "it was just an accident!"???

I dun really agree abt having the instinct straight from born.
As u mentioned, parents play a part in the education. Schools play another, perhaps in the ways of getting along with much many different others. Something u cant experience at home.
Ya, in moment of weakness, i can rape a chiobu, steal money from banks, set fire to any house we dun like and do many stuff that make myself happy and see others suffering in pain....
Cant blame me leh, I was in "moment of weakness"
How?
:embrass:
God, I cant believe pple dare to use that as a reason for committing a crime.
eh, bro we diff lor... we can live without a dictionary... heck, i got dictionary also never use...
most of the time, things 'we' wanna buy are things that are not in priority, hence we save... ask from parents... maybe like nottipig say, he can't afford... but i wonder how come never go library instead...
Not only "moment of weakness", it was also "just an accident"! The chiobu's private part is just there and your private part accidentally poke inside it! :bsmilie:
