![]() SINGAPORE: A Tamil teacher who pleaded guilty to altering Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) scripts has been sentenced to eight weeks in jail. In 2007, Shanti Krishnasamy altered the Tamil language answer scripts of some of her pupils at Canberra Primary School. In court on Friday, she was dressed in black and accompanied by several friends and family members. Her defence lawyer Subhas Anandan had requested for a lenient sentence, saying his client was suffering from major depression and was trying to cope with her daughter who has leukaemia. When sentencing, Judge May Mesenas said Singapore is a meritocratic society and a message must be sent out to ensure that the public’s confidence in the teaching profession is upheld. The Education Ministry said Shanti has been suspended from duty pending court proceedings. Following that, MOE will decide on an appropriate course of disciplinary action. Mr Anandan said his client is planning on spending more time with her family and to give private tuition after completing her jail sentence. FireLibra back to top? |
