if u really wanna know, no one really notice the statement until ur school committee wrote to the ST forum. shooting self in the foot.

They are a bunch of vocal ladies who are ex IJ students. With their social status, to them, the school reputation is their pride, dignity and justice.

Actually in a defamatory case, the prosecutor don't defend themselves. They just prosecute. A full page apology from ST should end it all.

If they are indeed successful in getting SPH into legal action. There will be more tongue in cheek articles which will indirectly point at them in the future. Laughing

If they are successful into getting SPH into legal action, I will think that Singapore will have a lot more to go towards the freedom of mass media.

Honeybunz SG

freedom of mass media doesn’t condone fabricating stories amounting to tarnishing image.

If for this little case they go to court and is published in the papers, it's a joke.

I agree that there are some good mixed schools like Dunman High but if u checking Ranking of Sec. School u will realise that single sex sch. like Cedar Girls, Cres. Girls, SJI, IJ schools, SCGS, St Anthony, Catholic High etc are consistently found in the list.

These schools don't take in the top PSLE scorers but are able to get their students to perform well eg my kid's score was 208 but "O' level she manage to get 13 pts. enough to get her into JC.

If I'm not wrong, they are all in the top 30 sec schools in S'pore (that was before they do away with the ranking) & that's why parents want to put their kids there.

If someone insults your school, u should not keep quiet.

Also they don't need to use the publicity to generate donations. They never have problems raising funds cos the ex students & parents are generous.
The IJ school spirit is very strong that is why ex students will continue to send their daughters there.

But are they being insulted in the first place? Or they are guilty of it? There's no fire without fuel.

Or no smoke without fire.

I believe that these "stories" have to a certain extent, some truth and facts in them although not of all of them are true. Rumours don't just come for fun. They come because of some misintrepretation or perception from some members of the public towards certain facts. Thus, in my opinion, clarification is needed as I have mentioned earlier.

That's why those who made such remarks must be able to substantiate their claims in court or pay damages.

If you say it is true, prove it.

"...wear their belts real low on their hips, and are allegedly easy when it comes to the opposite sex,"
now i really reject this outrageous accusation. is the writer implying that just because they prefer to wear belts lower than he wears his, they must be easy? or he's gotta produce video evidence that they're easy to bed, or at least some statistical analysis with large sample size and not some fabricated artefact?! with over 10 IJs each different in their own right, he has no call to make this sweeping generalization just because he can't distinguish 1 IJ uniform from another. and besides, most SNGs have good upbringing and don't deserve to be tarnished together with the rest

sue_282 SG

If by wearing their belts real low on their hips and hemming the uniform to a really "SHORT" length means that IJ girls are are allegedly easy when it comes to the opposite sex then there wouldnt be another phrase for it cause it is just it you can`t change it .

If IJ girls potray such a bad image then why do some of the other schools want to design uniforms that looks similar to its ?

By defining IJ girls as the way that rude and insensitive person did, he is not only stero-typing students but simply just showcasing how shallow he is.
How can he prove that all the girls from the convent schools are like that ? Does he know each & everyone of the IJ students ?

i describe his definition of the convent girls as a really rude and inaccurate way of defining us & i even feel a tinge of sadness for his ability to see us in that light for he is too blinded by the truth & MY definition of a saddistic person is just him/her -the person who wrote that article.

& a note to that person, for his motive is clear- to tarnish IJ schools reputation.
You did not succeed because IJ girls has very much proven to the EYES of the public that we are not even close to that definition of yours but instead a bunch of respectable ladies who has come far in life.
