        Saw today's report that the ex-P got hospitalised... ambulance somemore... sibei DRAMA leh...

        SINGAPORE - Two days after news broke that he was stepping down as principal of Anglo-Chinese School (Independent), Dr Ong Teck Chin has been hospitalised with breathing problems.

        MediaCorp understands that Dr Ong, 61, had experienced breathing difficulties yesterday morning and that his family called for an ambulance.

        He was sent to the National University Hospital by a Singapore Civil Defence Force ambulance and is doing well.

        Dr Ong is currently on leave and was still living at the school's boarding quarters in Dover Road.

        ACS (I) sent an email to parents yesterday informing them of Dr Ong's hospitalisation.

        Dr Ong had headed the school since 1994. News of his resignation and subsequent media reports speculating about the nature of the complaint lodged against Dr Ong surprised many.

        Two ACS boards are investigating the complaint, which was reportedly lodged by a male teacher.

        The ACS board of governors has appointed Mrs Fanny Tan, the deputy principal of ACS (I), to take over as acting principal.

        Dr Ong has told the media that he had been thinking of stepping down and he had bypass surgery two years ago.

            to extend it further, they should not own shares in property companies listed on SGX....imagine, if you hold 1% of Capitaland, that is how many condo ??

              There’s more than what meets the eye. Again, don’t judge until you know them personally. Let’s be gracious and choose to err on the kinder side.

                  The school’s priorities right now should be simple enough.


                  1. Establish a stable situation.
                  2. Provide crisis counselling and management.
                  3. Support the students and buffer them against stressors like the Press etc.
                  4. Provide timely updates about the school to the parents, but only if necessary.
                  5. Do not get distracted by the ex-principal because he is no longer staff.
                  6. Ensure the management of examinations etc is orderly and competent.
                  7. Assess and review current plans and see if still workable.
                  8. Prepare for the next academic year.
                  9. Work out the talent-sharing that is necessary for their link-up with MGS.

                  I don’t think much is gained by speculation right now. But I’m sure we’d all like to see these priorities dealt with.

                      My personal opinion is that the way the current admin cope with these nine issues (maybe more? anyone wants to add to this?) will tell us a lot about what to expect in the difficult months ahead.
