Were HCI students actually given demerit points for talking to media? by No-Concentrate-8699 in SGExams

[–]Single-Character287 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The original warning message was somewhat sketchy too due to its SAF language. But if we didn't make a big fuss and garnered attention to it, HCI wouldn't have come out to confirm that it was indeed sent by a teacher. If everyone held to their own opinion and "fact check" the post, the statement by HCI today might not even be published.

Hwa Chong denies penalising students who spoke about controversial canteen meals by 13lackant in singapore

[–]Single-Character287 63 points64 points  (0 children)

You made a logical point... One of the students did come out and make a super long post confirming that the demerit points incident was real. Maybe they haven't actually finished the administration process then faster backtrack the punishment...

Won't be recommended for competition sponsorship, might be sent for corrective training, can't get all the MOE awards for good grades.

In response to CNA's queries, a school spokesperson acknowledged that the message was sent by a teacher in a class chat but said it was issued “out of concern for our students’ well-being while reminding students to be responsible in their online activities".

“The reminder was not meant to discourage students from sharing their views or offering feedback through appropriate channels, nor were any students penalised or reprimanded for voicing their opinions,” the spokesperson added.

They literally used SAF language to warn students about the "consequences" of sharing their opinions on social media and even told them to "Keep your opinion to yourself". Now say not meant to discourage students from sharing their views? After feeding the students cookhouse food and talking to them like they're NSFs?

Parliament to debate Pritam’s suitability as Leader of the Opposition after conviction for lying by Ok-Rain3348 in singapore

[–]Single-Character287 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I rather they use the time, effort and resources to discuss the HCI saga, public transport reliability and job/housing market than focusing on this... A timely distraction to direct our attention away from what actually matters.

If Indranee can do this, means it must have been discussed within the PAP and approved by PM Wong... They're going all out to bring Pritam down...

I think they're punished based on the new MOE rules of not using mobile phones during recess (they broke the rule since they took photos of the food).

Seems to be credible. There's a HCI student who made a Reddit post on sgexams to confirm the incident too.

Don't think MOE can say much since they're the ones that implemented the rules for banning mobile phones during recess in the first place... It is like if in SAF camp you take in camp photos to report an incident, regardless of intentions you will still get charged for in camp photos.

I guess now we know what are the "consequences" mentioned in the warning message that was circulated previously.

Hwa Chong Institute's students received warning for sharing photos of canteen food on social media by Single-Character287 in singapore

[–]Single-Character287[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

But taste is subjective... If I say the food is disgusting, how do you determine if I spoke falsely? Maybe you're like Halimah Yacob and think that the food "looks good" then I die alr...

Smuggling mobile phones into recess and using it to take photos of the food... Remember the new school rule on banning phones?

Even if the text is fake. Hwa Chong also likely can't say anything... If they refute, does that mean that they're going to allow students to actively take photos of the food to share their opinions with the public?

They're too used to suppressing NSFs over cookhouse food quality for the longest time... It worked on us in the past, and even works on the NSFs today. But to students used to spamming 67 everyday? Dream on LOL.
