JJC's principle removes his sheep clothing- the true face of torment!
Here is a post from a student of JJC posted on his blog.I guess it pretty much explains everything of JJC principal.
Dog that barks doesnt neccessary make a good dog.
Being the principal, I thought you should be the most amiable,respectable and admired but hell no. Instead of gaining all the respect he should gain, he lost it all. It can be argued that whatever he did were for the welfare of this college,yes i may agree to a certain extent but even so, he should do it in a manner which makes look like a human and not a barbarian. In my secondary school days, my principal, Mr Lau Yan Boon, did almost everything the same as that guy in my college e,g. catching unacceptable length and style of HAIR etc etc. However in doing so he still gained the utmost respect from many of the students.What a contrast!It lies in the way he should carry out things and punishments. In my post, i will state the things he did which make many of us full of anger.I will be serious this time cause its serious @#^%$.
Last Friday, i went to school as usual,using the toilet as usual,went for morning assembly as usual. Seeing the principal up there as though he is an idiot. After the pledge, Koh Yong Chiah, principal of Jurong Junior College served us his perspective on our Indian students that left many of us students,ashamed.
Quoting(95% of the content are very true,the remaining 5% are true but i could not remember the exact details) from Koh Yong Chiah: 'I dont like the indians in our school residing in one corner of the school and i dont like them leaving moustache, they seem to be forming gang in our school.I dont want the Indians to be together anymore. ' What do u mean by GANG?I provide some of the meaning from dictionary.com.
Gang
-noun
1. a group or band: A gang of boys gathered around the winning pitcher.
2. a group of youngsters or adolescents who associate closely, often exclusively, for social reasons, esp. such a group engaging in delinquent behavior.
3. a group of people with COMPATIBLE tastes or mutual interests who gather together for social reasons: I'm throwing a party for the gang I bowl with.
4. a group of persons working together; squad; shift: a gang of laborers.
5. a group of persons associated for some criminal or other antisocial purpose: a gang of thieves.
He certainly did not mean the first,third and forth meaning mentioned above.That leaves us with the second and fifth meaning.Both are really negative,both mean that the Indians in our school are being labeled as GANGSTERS by him.In JJC,it is true that the Indian students always gather around one corner of the school.What about the Chinese students in the college.We make the largest population in the school and we too,are always in our own CLIQUE.Does that mean we Chinese are forming GANG too in JJC?If goes by the definition of GANG by him, we Chinese in JJC should be categorised as GANGS too.But why doesnt him mention about the Chinese and the Malays and why did he only mention about the Indians in the college?Racist?Maybe.Prejudice?Maybe.Plain stupidity?Damn right.
I have been in this college for around 4 months and the Indians i know and the fellow Indians residing in one corner certainly mean aint NO harm.They are friendly,they are students who constitute part of the college.Why should they be arrowed by the stupidity of our principal?They dont deserve it at all,not a single bit.They deserve better, much more better.From what i see,the Indians are just plainly gathering in their own CLIQUE like many of us do everyday.I hang around with my friends every single morning before morning assembly.I found joy in talking among my clique whom i am familiar with,friends whom i can click with.This should apply to the Indians in our school too,they do can stay with their own band of brothers,their own group of friends.They are doing nothing wrong like the other races in the college and all of us are living in harmony.But one guy just stir this homogeneous HARMONY up without knowing it.What will the Indians feel when he said that?Put yourself in their shoe please.Give them back the liberty to make the friends they want to make and stop making decisions that no ones will obey and stay abide to.
The Indian dance in my school won a SYF GOLD WITH HONOURS medal, something which should make any principal proud of.But wait,did that guy mention anything about the Indian dance troupe winning the prestigious award?NO.He just let life goes on like the Indian Dance Troupe had not won anything great for the college.I saw their dance,its awesome,something i have not seen in one hell of a long time.They deserve the recognition by the school,or at least the principal of the school but they aint no getting any of them.It left me wondering what must the dancer achieve before that guy decides to glorify their achievements infront of the whole school.I think if the 'Indian GANG' did something like fighting outside the school,that guy will most probably announce to the whole world.Now,they done the school proud but why your gap in your face is not opening yet?
A Racial Integration Programme (RI) was set up in JJ two years ago to promote racial and religious harmony. This was in line with the college's core values: Sense of Appreciation and Sense of Responsibility (SASR). Going beyond the classrooms, the RI programme focused on experiential LEARNING by getting students to participate in actual events and festivities.' More info can be read here.
What is the use of having this programme when the principal is not corresponding to the aim of the programme.
Aside from this incident,that guy is feared and hated by many for his ways of catching students' 'inappropriate' hair style and length.His most obvious traits are going into every classroom with a stick and knocking at students' chair demanding for the student's ezlink card to be confisticated until his hair is cut on the day itself by 6pm and going around the canteen yelling at boys whose hair are not nice to his eyes.I know where he is coming from,he wants this school to be a good school,grooming gentlemen(yes like me).I recognise this fact and i agree to that.But i do not agree with the way he gets what he wants.
First,he tells students that they look like TERRORIST as their hair are long and their moustache are unshaved.TERRORIST?SMLJ?I shall post one article taken for Straits Times Interactive.
'A RUDE, thoughtless little pig' was the scolding that reduced Alec Baldwin from all-American icon to the week's worst father. But Singaporean youth, accustomed to having all manner of verbal abuse hurled at them in as many dialects and languages, might not understand what the fuss is about. Familiar with phrases, pet names and various other remarks peppered with choice Hokkien curses that might distress anyone with more delicate sensibilities, they might say to themselves, 'Aiyah, what's the big deal?' It really isn't surprising. From a tender age, we are conditioned to think that scolding indicates doting. Parents tell us as much. Remember the refrain? 'Muay ah, I scold you because I care about you, mah!' To us, beatings are a form of love much in the same way parents show they care by asking us if we have had our grub for the day. In our eyes, it is likely that Baldwin might be well justified for the spiel, after being edged out of his daughter's life or having the child talk back in disrespect. Unfortunately, Baldwin lives in another land, under different rules. There, he is taking flak for his rash voicemail. A Los Angeles judge has suspended his visitation rights and fans have plastered criticism on his WEBSITE. One user, Wendy, writes: 'Never call your daughter a pig or brainless. She will carry this in her heart forever.' But maybe it is us. Perhaps we are not making enough of a fuss about it, even though we should. In an interview on the subject, the People's Association Central Youth Council chairman, Mr Lee Hong Chuang, said parents should 'watch what they say' because 'children are very sensitive'. He warned that such verbal abuse can lead to a lack of confidence when the child grows into an adult, or a warped sense of right and wrong after getting mixed signals during a parental scolding. After the Virginia Tech shootings, gunman Cho Seung Hui's uncle told the Korean press that Cho's mother talked a lot about her daughter who went to Princeton (after turning down Harvard), but not much about her son.
If he were alive today, I wonder how many ways that comment might have stung him.
So, maybe scoldings are not about doting, and beatings not about love after all.
Maybe it's something else altogether.
So Mr Koh by calling a student terrorist,do you really want us to be terrorist?I certainly felt insulted if i am called a terrorist.He can be charged under the penal code(Singapore)
Chapter XXI: Defamation
Second,recently there is one china student who refused to give in his ezlink card to that guy.He agured with that guy and guess what?THAT GUY smacked the guy.I am not quite sure of where did the principal hit the china student but whatever it is,hitting is not right.C'mon,it is now the 21st century,its not about hitting student with Chinese kung-fu,its not about old-school teaching method,its not about building your regime in school.?For that incident alone,the chinese student is at fault in the first place but the principal of JJC is at a bigger fault.He can be charged under Singapore penal code
Chapter XVI: Offences affecting the human body.
See the seriousness?
I BLOG about this post is to expose the torment we students have to suffer both physically and mentally in JJC.I have the urge to call up TNP to do a review on our principal,however,I must gather more evidences and SUPPORT from the student body.I certainly hope JJCians will stand up to be counted.We call for the respect we deserve.
(To some of you,maybe he is still okay but to some of you,maybe is not...... *~*)
