Eh...

 

How come she doesn't just post his name online?

I think she is, at this stage, only trying to get the university mgmt to take further steps. Naming and shaming the guy is no use as next week it will be largely forgotten with the next new scandal.

It’s good she don’t, later people misuse the data and become doxxing or what then sidetrack the issue. But I think enough info was revealed already to locate the guy

NUS to convene review committee after student calls for tougher action against man who filmed her in shower

 

SINGAPORE - The National University of Singapore (NUS) will convene a committee to review its disciplinary and support frameworks after an undergraduate posted on social media about her encounter with a peeping Tom at one of the university's residential halls.

 

The committee, which will include members from the NUS Board of Trustees, will study the approaches taken by other international institutions and solicit views from various stakeholders, NUS dean of students Associate Professor Peter Pang said in a statement on Saturday (April 20).

The findings of the study and follow-up actions will be shared in the new academic year, he added. The new academic year begins this August.

 

Many netizens have shared and commented on Ms Monica Baey's posts about being filmed in the toilet of student residence Eusoff Hall.

 

In several other stories on her Instagram profile posted on Thursday and Friday, Ms Baey called for tougher action to be taken by the university.

 

"I want real consequences for perpetrators that commit such acts and I want to know that NUS wil reprimand them seriously so other potential perpetrators know they will face punishment if they commit (such acts)," she wrote in a story on Friday.

 
 

The 23-year-old, who is currently on an exchange programme in Taiwan, told The Straits Times that the incident took place at 1am on Nov 25, 2018.

 

The third-year NUS communications and new media undergraduate said she noticed an iPhone being held underneath the toilet door after she finished showering.

 

The peeping Tom ran away after she shouted, Ms Baey said. A girl who was outside the toilet stall told Ms Baey she saw a man who ran down the staircase.

 

Shortly after, Ms Baey notified campus security and the Junior Common Room Committee of Eusoff Hall, the student representative body of the residence, of the incident.

 

Ms Baey and the man were both former residents of the hall.

 

At the time of the incident, she was staying over in the hall with one of her friends.

She added that she sent a statement pushing for further action to the NUS Registrar's Office.

 

Ms Baey said she knew the perpetrator personally, and he was the boyfriend of one of her friends, who is a Eusoff Hall resident.

 

According to her, the perpetrator was made to write an apology letter and would have to undergo mandatory counselling. He was also banned from entering Eusoff Hall and suspended from school for a semester.

 

In an Instagram story, she posted a screenshot showing that she received the apology letter through NUS on Feb 21.The man said he was under the influence of alcohol when the incident took place.

In the statement on Saturday, Assoc Prof Pang said: "We are sorry for Ms Monica Baey's distressing experience, which is of extreme concern to the university."

 

The university is in the process of reaching out to her to offer support and assistance, he added.

Assoc Prof Pang confirmed that the case was investigated by the police and the perpetrator was given a 12-month conditional warning by the authorities. Ms Baey was informed of the warning in January this year.

 

He said that when such offences are committed, the NUS Board of Discipline, which comprises student and faculty representatives, will conduct its own disciplinary proceedings.

"It will consider factors such as the severity of the offence, the need for justice for the victim, the rehabilitative needs of the student offender, the safety of the NUS community, and also the decisions and penalties imposed by the authorities," Assoc Prof Pang said.

 

Other NUS students have since taken to social media to voice their opinions on the incident, with some saying they had heard of similar incidents that went unreported, and others sharing their experiences of such acts.

 

Ms Laura Ng, 24, who graduated from NUS in 2018, told ST that she felt it was time for the university to take more action against those who commit such crimes.

"They aren't being fair to the victims. The school appears to be taking the stance that they don't care for the victims' well-being and dignity, which is quite upsetting," said Ms Ng, who stayed at a residential college in NUS.

 

Ms Baey said she feels that NUS needs to establish a better network and support system for victims of sexual offences, including outrage of modesty and sexual harassment.

Following the incident, Ms Baey made a police report at Clementi Police Station. ST has contacted the police for more information.

In assault cases, even you make magistrates complaint and the magistrate ask police investigate, the police can decide no case.

 

But this case she said the officer told her take it up with school if she wanted more done... whatever the reason, it's a PR screw up for SPF.

been there, done that.

 

two words : how siao !

What the heck.

All those behind the scene who are investigating and passing the sentence must be surfaced now.

Those who pass the sentence should not be let off too if found to be bias right?

Sounds like a case of elite covering up for elite! Typically sweep under the carpet style.

If this is not a form of corruption, then what is this? 

 

Yeah right, we will not tolerate any form of corruption.

Yeah right, this is just a once-off incident.
