SINGAPORE: A website featuring what seem to be Singapore
schoolgirls in sexually suggestive poses has caused a furore among
parents.
The pictures have been seen on sggirls.com, a website that is
hosted on a US server.
There are pictures of girls locking lips with each other, or
striking various suggestive poses.
Some poses suggest the possibility of a lesbian relationship.
Many of the girls in the pictures are in clearly identifiable
uniforms of reputable local girls schools, and their faces are
also clearly seen.
The suggestive pictures have not only outraged but also worried
parents.
"They are terrible, not like our time. During our time, we don't
behave like this. We'd feel shy," said a parent.
"Very disgusting. They shouldn't be involved in this," said
another.
Some schoolgirls Channel NewsAsia spoke to said they knew some of
those featured.
But some maintained the girls were victims of cruel pranks,
possibly by friends who took the pictures.
"My friend's picture was on it. She was wondering why her picture
was there and she was quite scared," said a student.
But some students acknowledged it was also possible that some of
these raunchy pictures were posted by the girls themselves.
"There are some students who put these photos deliberately on the
Net and this is quite bad. It reflects badly on themselves and on
the school," said a student.
The website came to Channel NewsAsia's attention last week when a
concerned father emailed Channel NewsAsia to say he caught his
16-year-old daughter looking at the website.
According to the email, the girl, who is from a reputable all
girls' school, told her father that "she was under peer pressure to
pose such provocative and sexy pictures in this website in order to
gain recognition."
Channel NewsAsia wrote to the Education Ministry for its comment on
the issue.
In its email response, the Education Ministry says homosexuality is
covered in an existing sexuality education programme.
In the "Growing Years" VCD distributed to lower secondary schools,
the term "homosexual" is explained, and the difference between
sexual identity and sexual orientation is clarified.
And students struggling with such feelings are also encouraged to
talk to an adult they trust.
As for teachers on the sexuality education programme, the MOE says
that they have also been advised to "relate to lesbian students as
individuals, with needs for love, understanding and acceptance as
their peers have."
Channel NewsAsia understands the website belongs to a 24-year-old
Singaporean who is studying economics in the UK.
He had set it up when he was a 17-year-old pre-university student
in Singapore.
At that time, the website was known as jcgirls.com. - CNA/ir
