#434 - Kinderland and ECDA Address Alleged Child Abuse & Ho Ching Suggests Caning Diners Who Cheat
The past week, a slew of videos and images of alleged child abuse at childcare centres operated by Kinderland were leaked online, prompting outrage among the general public. The chorus of indignation got even louder when it was discovered that ECDA, the preschool regulator, had failed to immediately remove the accused teacher from classroom duties while investigating the complaints against her. Is enough being done to protect our children in preschool centres? Elsewhere, Ho Ching lambasted cheaters who abscond before paying for their food at restaurants, and even called for them to be caned. Is her outrage justified? Why?
