http://www.tnp.sg/news/story/0,4136,267323,00.html? Xavier Ong, the teen who uploaded a picture of his O level paper before the exam started, will receive no grades for every subject he sat for. He will receive a "T" grade for all his subjects - meaning "termination of results due to exam misconduct". This rare punishment by the Singapore Examinations and Assessment Board (SEAB) in terminating a candidate's results in all subjects was for Xavier's smuggling in a mobile phone into the exam hall last November. Before the Combined Humanities Paper 1 exam began, the former Outram Secondary School student took a photo of the exam paper cover sheet and uploaded it onto micro-blogging site Twitter. He boasted about what he had done in his tweet. Xavier, who is currently working as a used car salesman, told The New Paper yesterday: "It's okay as long as my job is not affected and I earn more money." A spokesman for the Singapore Examinations and Assessment Board (SEAB) said: "The candidate may retake his O-level examinations if he wishes to."Back to News?
