Shocking defamation of ACS by NJC students in official
school activity

In pictures circulated on the internet yesterday (Sep
25), several National Junior College (NJC) students were tagged in
photographs which depicted them defaming Anglo-Chinese School
(Independent).
The students were doing an ice-breaker activity in which they were
demonstrating how ‘dictatorial regimes should work’.

“These photos were circulated on Facebook and they were purportedly
taken by their teacher who subsequently posted it.
“Some ACS(Independent) students and teachers were tagged in the
photos, which goes to show that the person who uploaded it is
obviously trying to spite ACS(Independent) students.
“What made it worse (other than defaming the school) is that they
wrote 'Kill the principal' in one of the mahjong papers - this is
clearly a sign of threat that has gone out of hand.
In an another email to STOMP, another STOMPer wrote:
“In what has been claimed to be an icebreaker activity
demonstrating how ‘dictatorial regimes should work’, National
Junior College students have used ACS (Independent) as a
example.
“What was so peculiar/'unique' in this case are the various
suggestions or actions that they have depicted in their
presentation.
“These measures include calling ACS (I) ("Annoying Childish
Students (Idiots)", as well as a plethora of other vividly
disturbing elucidations on ‘kidnapping the principal’, ‘poisoning
the water supply’ and the coup de gras, ‘killing the principal of
ACS (I)’, as pictured.
“These suggestions, while merely written on paper, evoke a certain
pervading sense of discomfort- how could the students of such a
prestigious school have such outrageous thoughts and even
suggesting and putting to paper such preposterous ideas?
“Additionally, one might note that the suggestions on the
presentations also include other activities which are not involved
with a dictatorial regime, instead, ‘destroying’ the ‘vault with
money’, ‘CyberAC’, ‘Uniformed Groups’, and extorting money from the
rich kids; just some stereotypes that ACS (I) has been associated
with.
“I felt that the pictures (and the extent of the defamation
elaborated in them) were extremely shocking, not to mention
reflected badly on National Junior College, its students and
teachers.”
