River Valley Principal called up by CPIB

[Showster]

The kind of headline news we see, spot checks cannot identify. 

 

 

This one is more to oversee the cluster of schools, what I am saying is more of suprised spot check and go deep into schools principal and also to find out whether the schools are doing what they are supposed to do or kanna dominate by the school principal. Plus, with spot check, it can uncover many loophole and bad practices and then improve it. Perhaps he can even coordinate with cluster group to better improve on school system.

Ya target has to be principal and not others. I believe that a good principal will mole a good teacher and good students. Whereas a bad principal who only care for themselves will mole teachers and students to be result driven only, hack care about character building, we got no time for that.

Nowadays corruption is no longer restricted to just money.

 

Quite a number have been caught having extra-marital affairs.

Four weeks jail.

http://www.channelne...gh/2405832.html



SINGAPORE: A former principal of River Valley High School (RVHS) was sentenced to four weeks of jail on Thursday (Jan 21), for lying to the Ministry of Education about his sexual relationship with a vendor.

Another charge for giving false information to the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) was taken into consideration in sentencing 61-year-old Koh Yong Chiah.

Koh's lawyer Lawrence Ang said they plan to appeal the sentence. In the meantime, the former principal is granted bail of S$15,000 pending the hearing. 

Koh met Ms Ivy Loke Wai Lin, 55, in 2000 when he was principal of The Chinese High School. They eventually developed a sexual relationship with each other.

Ms Loke was the director and majority shareholder of two companies that provided schools with education-related services, such as the organisation of overseas school trips.

MOE’s Director General of Education received an anonymous complaint about Koh’s extramarital affair with Ms Loke in November 2005, alleging the two were behaving inappropriately on school premises and on overseas school trips.

Koh denied the allegations when interviewed by MOE about them, and continued to award Ms Loke the contracts after the incident. At the time, he had already awarded her six contracts worth S$162,491.

He subsequently awarded Ms Loke another 87 contracts, worth about S$3.2 million, from 2005 to 2012.

In mitigation, Mr Ang had said that no financial loss was suffered by MOE, and Koh did not benefit financially. He also said that it appeared Ms Loke had "delivered satisfactorily" on the contracts. He called for a fine to be imposed on his client.

However, Deputy Public Prosecutor G Kannan pressed for a jail term of between four to six weeks for Koh. saying that even if Ms Loke delivered on the contracts satisfactorily, it did not detract from the fact that the contracts were still "improperly awarded" as Koh had failed to declare the conflict of interest. He also noted that Koh was a senior public officer who lied to an "even more senior public officer” over his relationship with a vendor.

River Valley High drops iPad scheme

 

Secondary 1 students no longer need to buy own device for lessons

 

A scheme in which all River Valley High School (RVHS) Secondary 1 students had to buy their own iPads for lessons has been scrapped.

 

The iPad programme had been introduced by former principal Koh Yong Chiah in 2012.

 

Some parents, concerned about the device's price of about $700 and their children misusing the iPad to access unsuitable material, had questioned the programme then.

 

Now, technology has caught up with the programme, explained the school. Smartphones, laptops and tablets all have similar features now, and a "significant number" of students have smartphones, which can be used for learning.

 

The school announced the change on its website late last year. Instead of buying iPads, Secondary 1 and 2 students can borrow them from the school when they do activities requiring specific apps.

 

 

RVHS offers the six-year Integrated Programme. Its students move on to the A-level curriculum without taking the O-level examination.

Vice-principal Loi Guang You told The Straits Times that there is no change to the school's position on using information and communications technology (ICT) to teach and learn, and that it develops "self-directed learning, collaborative learning, communication and new media skills" in students. "The change from using the iPad to other devices will not affect our lessons and student learning," he said.

 

"Furthermore, the school has found that laptops serve students better in the senior years in terms of computing power, software and productivity."

 

Months after the compulsory iPad scheme was put in place at RVHS, then principal Koh stepped down at the end of 2012 because of a Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau probe. He pleaded guilty last month to giving false information to a senior Education Ministry officer in 2005. He had had an affair with a vendor to whom he awarded contracts worth millions of dollars, but denied the relationship when questioned by the ministry.

 

RVHS is not the only school that has adopted such an ICT model. At schools such as Nanyang Girls' High School and School of Science and Technology, students own smart devices for learning.

 

The reaction from parents and students on how effective such methods are has been mixed.

 

Ms Gracia Tham, 43, who bought an iPad for her son when he entered RVHS in 2012, said he used it frequently for school work only in his first three years. It was at times difficult to get him to put down the device, she admitted.

 

"You can't be watching over them all the time. It's very easy for them to toggle between the apps and hide what they are doing."

 

But third-year student Valencia Wan said that as she could access learning material on the iPad, there was no need to lug some textbooks to school daily. The device also helps to make English, mathematics and music lessons more engaging. "For example, we use the iPad for graphs in maths lessons. It helps us visualise the graphs better."

The principal is not caught pants down and he knows it. That's why when questioned he denied the claims knowing there's no evidence on his extra-marital affair with the vendor. There are only witnesses who see them behaving intimately but that does not account to anything concrete. Another probability is that cpib is unable to find discrepancy in their accounts which makes it harder to prove the corruption. The only obvious sign is the awarding of contracts to the only vendor.

 

The principal is what we call a cunning old fox. I believe he has a share of the proceeds from the contracts, probably in his lover's name. Both of them have much to benefit. It's just that insufficient evidence to prove it.

Why those unluckily caught involved corruption in Singapore non use the useful arguement with "Donation" as legal defence, our next door top man got away easily.

The principal can defence for just donating sperm for Ivy Loke eagerly wanting a baby and he further defence that it is not for his own personal gains or benefit.
