Anglo Chinese Junior College Hit By Video Scandal

am seldom surprised by ragging photos or videos, having been sanitised via my own experiences. Coming from an all-boys secondary school and having been through NS, I seen my fair share. However the screen grabs below from two ragging videos I saw on youtube truly disturbed me. In the past, there were no digital camera or camcorder to record down the process, but with the advent of technology, such activities are often recorded and the videos or photos end up online, causing further humiliation to the victims. The two videos mentioned are particularly shocking to me because of two factors. First of all, the perpetrators are practically all females, with a few boys in the background cheering. I never knew women are into such cruelty as well. Second, it occurred in bright daylight at a crowded school canteen – where everybody can see! The poor victim was tied to a chin-up bar and attacked mercilessly. All in the name of “celebrating” her birthday.

The school where all these took place is a well-reputed school – Anglo-Chinese Junior College (ACJC). (No point in concealing the school’s identity as the uniform of the students involved is obvious)

Female bullies

When the poor victim was first grabbed by her group of “friends”, she protested that she was wearing a skirt and may zaogeng. Instead of letting her go, they forced her to put on her PE shorts. The victim was then dragged unwillingly from the crowded canteen to a nearby chin-up bar to be tied up for the ensuing ritual.

Forced to put on PE shorts

When she shouted for them to stop, they took a masking tape and stuck it over her mouth. A girl even hit her on the forehead to pin her down.

“Shut her up!”

When she started crying… they smashed her face with cakes and poured milk over her head. Quite a few times, her PE shorts was exposed in the struggle as her skirt was tugged upwards.

Got milk?

When she said she cannot see because the grue got in her eyes, they poured water over her and threw more icky foodstuff at her face.

“Enjoy this!”

Then, ironically… they circled around her and sang her a birthday song,. The group was laughing merrily all the way, seemingly oblivious to their friend’s sorry state. WTF????? There was even a girl who had the cheek to ask the victim if she is “happy or not”!

Left on her own

After all these, they walked away, leaving the wet and dirty victim begging for mercy with her hands tied to the poles, seated in an awkward position. To make things worse, the entire process is recorded down and the video is even uploaded onto youtube. If the victim was my sister or girlfriend, I will report the whole incident to the police as a molestation case. This is seriously demeaning. I mean… I can understand wanting to sabo your friend on her birthday, but obviously, the line of decency has be crossed here. Did the perpetrators even stop for a moment to think how they themselves would feel if they were in the victim’s shoes? To get tied up in public; risking upskirt exposure; have food and milk smashed all over you; worse of all – have the entire humiliating video uploaded online for the world to see.
What is wrong with our youths these days?
Previously, I blogged about how I came across a series of videos uploaded by a bunch of St Andrew’s boys spanking their friend’s butt and attacking his crotch. I do not know if their videos came to the attention of the school authorities or the boys grew up and felt guilty over what they have done to their friend – all the videos have been removed from youtube.
I hope this poor girl’s videos get deleted too asap. I won’t be providing the URL links to the videos. Don’t email me to ask. I hope the relevant school authorities will look into the matter and punish those involved accordingly.
Update: Since the videos have already been deleted, I can reveal more information – the video was actually titled in CAPS: “XXXXX GOT DESTROYED” and was tagged under “loser”. Would friends do this to each other?

Kiasu Parents

 There is always this long-standing saying and had often been made butt of a joke that Singaporeans are ” KIASU” and ” KIASI” ( translated ” Scared to lose” and “Scared to die  ” ). I have many friends and relatives who are Permanent Residents in Singapore. I meant no offense to them in my opening statement, just quoting a commonly known ” fact”. This perception arose mainly due to the higher demands, higher pressure  and needs of the Singapore guy to compete against one another in the small and over densely  populated country. This is a society where money and money related matters talks. This is the country who develop the concept of the 6 C’s to judge one’s level of success in society : Cash, Condominium, Cars, Credit Cards, Capital and Country Club membership. This is a country where the law of the jungle applies without exception – survival of the fittest.
So it was not a surprise to me when I came across this website : http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/
I came across this based on a news report in the local Malaysian Chinese newspaper article that quoted an example the extremes a Singaporean parent will consider when enrolling their child in kindergarten. What is the special consideration that ignited my amusement and puzzlement ? It is TOILET PAPER quality ! What – are you kidding  ?
Yes !  – parents will only consider kindergarten which supply smooth toilet paper over those that use rough recycled paper . This shows the kindergarten has quality and good sense of standards which is crucial to their child early years of education. Or is it to protect and preserve the sanctity of the young child’s butt ?
This website has articles and forum where members has signed up unashamedly to review, discuss , debate and analyze all issues  from babies to teens upbringing, education, social obligations, parenting, etc. You will be amazed at the issues discussed, some that you will not even think of. The crux of all these is just to be the best and if not, at least to keep up with the Jones’s.  If you have the time, saunter over and be convinced by not signing up as a member , it will be your greatest folly and doing a big injustice to your children.

ACJC Girls MMS Video

This is amazing. Were they both 'girl' girls or was one of them the 'tomboy' kind? Nevertheless I suppose this will be the hottest news for the next few days.

But on the other hand... I didn't know girls liked to film others' private activities in the toilet. Shame on the people filming the video, do schools still teach moral education?

JC students in trouble over toilet-sex video
Students film girls secretly and circulate it among friends
By Jeremy Au Yong

    A STEAMY sex video of two first-year female students caused an uproar in Anglo-Chinese Junior College (ACJC) recently, leading to the duo leaving the school.

    The students were said to have had a tryst in a school toilet, where they were filmed surreptitiously by other students.

    The video was then circulated to several others in the college.

    At least nine current and former ACJC students The Straits Times spoke to said they knew of the incident, with one having seen the video on his friend's mobile phone.

    'What I saw disgusted me,' said the second-year student, who said he could not bring himself to continue watching the rest of the clip.

    The episode, coming hot on the heels of a tragic cyber-bullying case in New York, has raised alarm bells among some child experts about how cavalier young people can be about what they post online.

    In the ACJC episode, it is not clear whether or at what point the girls knew they were being filmed. The illicit meeting in a cubicle of the toilet near the canteen is said to have taken place last month.

    The Straits Times understands that disciplinary action has been taken on all those involved, including stripping some of their positions in co-curricular activity groups.

    In an e-mail response to queries, ACJC principal Kelvyna Chan declined to comment directly on the facts of the episode.

    She would say only: 'We would like to assure you that no one has been expelled from the school. From time to time, students are involved in actions which the school does not condone.

    'With all matters pertaining to discipline, we include engagement with the parents and counselling for the students. The objective is always to learn from our mistakes, do better and be wiser.'

    When asked later if ACJC helped the students secure places in another school, Mrs Chan declined further comment.

    A message sent by The Straits Times via Facebook to one of the girls involved was ignored. Her online profile was subsequently deleted.

    The incident has been discussed over Formspring, a social media site that allows netizens to pose questions to a user.

    The same girl had a Formspring site that was put up three weeks ago and she received queries and messages of support and concern.

    Some told her to stay strong. Others wanted to know what she would do now.

    'Where are you going next?' one asked.

    She responded: 'Where the wind takes us.'

    Her site has since been taken down too.

    One of the girls is said to have been admitted into another junior college and will resume her studies next year.

    The incident is said to be the first such case involving the school.

    In 2008, however, ragging practices caused a stir after a video of an ACJC student tied up and having food stuffed in her face made it online.

    For Ms Wendy Chua, a former school psychologist who now runs a life coaching company, the latest ACJC incident shows how cavalier the young are about the Internet.

    'These days you often see kids freely expressing themselves on sites like Facebook with no regard to their own privacy. There is no self-censorship,' said the mother of four children aged seven to 15.

    'If you don't censor what you put online about yourself, you won't censor what you post about others.'

    Child experts The Straits Times spoke to compared the episode with the recent case of Rutgers University undergraduate Tyler Clementi in the United States.

    Two weeks ago, the 18-year-old jumped to his death after his roommate allegedly streamed online live images of him having sex with another man.

    Those interviewed said the difference between the two cases, was that the American teen had sex in his own room, whereas the ACJC girls were in a public toilet.

    Psychologist Daniel Koh, of Insights Mind Centre, felt several aspects made the ACJC case especially disturbing.

    First was the fact that the incident happened in a public place and involved two girls, 'something society may not accept yet'.

    Then there were the actions of those who filmed what the girls did and then circulated it. Both were troubling acts, he said.

    Agreeing, Dr Carol Balhetchet, director of Youth Services at the Singapore Children's Society, said that filming and circulating the incident was 'a vicious act'.

    'I would almost call it aggressive intimidation,' she said.

    The child experts felt that parents and counsellors need to better educate the young on the consequences of their actions.

    Mr Koh said young people need to understand the power of the Internet.

    'Because of the speed, it can reach a lot of people,' he said. 'The young need to know what the boundaries are.

    'Even taking a picture of someone sleeping on the MRT can sometimes cross the line.'

    PRINCIPAL SAYS:

    ACJC principal Kelvyna Chan declined to comment on the facts of the case. She said nobody had been expelled, and added: 'From time to time, students are involved in actions which the school does not condone.'

Sexion D Assaut Propos Homophobe

Alors que le groupe de rap devait entamer ce week-end une vaste tournée, une salle d'Angers et un tourneur à Saint-Etienne viennent d'annuler leur invitation. Et ce n'est sans doute qu'un début.
Dans une interview au magazine International Hip-Hop, Sexion d'Assaut avait déclaré :

« Pendant un temps, on a beaucoup attaqué les homosexuels parce qu'on est homophobes à 100% et qu'on l'assume. Mais on nous a fait beaucoup de réflexions et on s'est dit qu'il était mieux de ne plus trop en parler parce que ça pouvait nous porter préjudice. […]
Il y a donc quelques sujets auxquels on fait attention, on essaie de ne pas trop insulter certaines catégories de gens qu'on ne comprend pas pour ne pas choquer notre public qui est très éclectique et qui pourrait se sentir concerné. Imagine, il y a même des gays qui viennent nous voir !
On ne peut donc pas se permettre de dire ouvertement que pour nous, le fait d'être homosexuel est une déviance qui n'est pas tolérable. »

Des propos qui valent à Sexion d'Assaut l'annulation de deux concerts : après avoir fait publiquement part de ses interrogations, la direction d'une salle qui devait accueillir un concert du groupe de rap le 13 octobre à Angers (Maine-et-Loire) a ainsi finalement décidé de l'annuler.
Rebelote peu après cette annonce : l'organisateur de spectacles C'Kel Prod, à Saint-Etienne, a également annulé le concert qui y était prévu le 16 octobre.
Dans un communiqué intitulé « Non au concert d'un groupe homophobe », la Ligue des droits de l'homme (LDH) a également demandé samedi l'annulation d'un concert du groupe, le 20 octobre, à Strasbourg. Selon la LDH, « il est inacceptable » de programmer des groupes qui « clament publiquement leur haine d'une catégorie d'individus et qui promeuvent une idéologie violemment discriminatoire ».

Des excuses jugées insuffisantes

« Après demande d'explications auprès du producteur des artistes, c'est avec beaucoup de circonspection que l'équipe du Chabada a accueilli le communiqué de démenti », expliquait François Jonquet, le directeur de la salle d'Angers, après les excuses de Lefa, un membre de Sexion d'Assaut.
Le communiqué suivant, signé au nom du groupe, n'a pas été jugé plus convainquant. « Comment interpréter une volte-face aussi spectaculaire autrement qu'en terme d'opportunisme de circonstance ? », s'interroge le patron de la salle.
De leur côté, les organisateurs de spectacles stéphanois estiment :

« Bien qu'ayant tenté d'amorcer une médiation, les tensions de plus en plus palpables, attisées ces derniers jours par des communiqués maladroits, ne nous semblent pas propices pour entamer ce travail sereinement et de surcroît dans un délai aussi court. »

A Angers, qui avait été l'une des villes où le concert était le plus ouvertement remis en question -comme dans cinq autres salles, selon le journal Sud Ouest-, le militant de l'association Quazar, Stéphane Corbin (qui collabore occasionnellement à TÊTU), estime intéressant que « des directeurs de salles, scandalisés par les propos mais aussi par les excuses bidons, décident d'eux-mêmes de ne plus faire jouer des musiciens, parce qu'ils sont opposés à leurs valeurs ».

« L'homophobie n'est pas une opinion, mais un délit »

Quant au message adressé au groupe :

« C'est une sanction publique, qui les touchera plus, sans doute, qu'une sanction juridique. Ils revendiquent une culture de macho et pensaient avoir le droit de tout dire. Ils devront s'apercevoir que ce n'est pas si simple : l'homophobie n'est pas une opinion, mais un délit. »

Et le porte-parole de la Fédération LGBT est certain que les annulations ne s'arrêteront pas à Angers. L'association démarre une campagne nationale d'envoi de courriers aux maires, préfets, procureurs et directeurs des salles de toutes les villes où devait se produire le groupe, pour les alerter sur de possibles troubles à l'ordre public.
Sexion d'Assaut a prévu quinze dates dès dimanche à Pau, puis à Rennes, Nantes, Toulouse, Montpellier, Lyon ou Bruxelles, avant un concert au Zénith de Paris le 5 novembre. Une option avait été prise pour un dernier concert à Bercy en mai 2011… qui semble aujourd'hui fortement compromis.
