"Howard Shaw’s wife ‘very sad’ about the whole affair
Described by Shaw as level-headed and patient in the magazine article, she declined comment yesterday, telling The Straits Times only that she was "very sad" about the whole affair"
Got this from the news…the hurt she feels…nobody can ever understand -

This girl has chosen the easiest way to make money. Unpleasant but still I will say it - take out her clothes and opening her legs.
And saying that ONLY children whose parents are ''rich, educated and connected'' can do well in schools is totally absurd! Are you implying that children of hawkers, bus drivers, clerks, people who hold 'normal' jobs and from average income families, will never ever do well in school? If you bother to check the profiles of the top PSLE/GCE students over the years, you will realise you are sooo wrong..Freesia:
Maybe she is controlled. She may want to backed out but the pimp did not allow via threat on circulating nude photos etc.. she must have been lost at 1st but subsequently has no way of backing out. The pimp would not let her out too since she can help him make so much money.
The education system is to be blamed too. It is too elitist and it shamed the students who does not do well. The schools also grouped the good ones together instead of mixing them together to ensure cohesion. Our education is like the vice trade. Once you are down and out; it takes a huge effort to climb up. p3, streamed, p6 streamed, Sec2 streamed etc. At the tender age of 9 and 12, if you do badly you are a dead meat.
I feel that whatever happened to this girl is of nobody's fault but her own! Everybody has a choice, and nobody can force anybody to do anything, if he/she doesnt wish to do so. This girl CHOSE the easiest and fastest way to earn big bucks, and in the process, causing hurt and harm to other people and their families. She deserves NO pity from anyone! In fact, I feel that she should be made to bear the consequences of her bad behaviour, just like the men, to serve as a warning to other young girls that what this girl has done was totally wrong!
Btw, there are many taxi drivers who have kids who are scholars or highly intelligent. -

Ignorance is not a valid defense. Onus is on client to exercise due diligent/prudence. If they wanna take risk, be prepared for the consequence that may follow.
True. But then we hv of ask.

李立弘受访时说：“事件对学校造成影响，也让社会大众失望，本人诚意致歉。”
“所谓‘行有不德，反求诸己’，我必须坦诚面对错误，用实际行动和诚意纠正自身的过失，而不是推卸责任。
“身为一个永远的教育工作者，我必须以身作则落实有过必改的决心。”
Got this from news… hopefully his family will be able to forgive him and they will be able to live through this difficult time -
In Steven Levitt’s book ‘Super Freakonomics’, he discussed prostitution and why so many women go into it as a career. He did research and found out that if you are a cannot-make-it prostitute, your earnings would have in general declined since the turn of the century as modern, ‘liberated’ women are giving it to men FOR FREE, so there’s no real need to pay for a lay.
However, the high-class prostitutes who are intelligent and pretty and highly selective make tons of money. That’s probably why the underaged girl went into the profession. Frankly, look at her clientele. They were mostly educated and established men with A LOT to lose if they abused her. I’m betting they actually made pleasant conversation before and after the event, cos it’s part of the whole pretense that it’s not a sordid transaction. I agree with Chenonceau that prostitution is a necessary evil in society; I also believe that it’s very bad for the persons involved physically and emotionally in the long run. Something to do with the soul.
For comparison, there’s a 60-something-year-old prostitute who used to frequent my area. I was told (by the neighbourhood aunties) that she has been plying her trade for decades and charges 20 bucks a session. She wore garish pink lipstick, used to urinate in the bushes near my place and had dead eyes. I felt so sorry for her. I wouldn’t want anyone to end up like that. Ever.
Question for guys and girls: do you think celibacy is not possible as a lifestyle? I’m not being judgemental; I really wanna know, cos I’ve got 3 boys and I hope they stay celibate till marriage (our religious beliefs). Are the sexual urges very hard to overcome and is it just easier for women cos the libido is not so active? -

Yesterday, the scion of the prominent Shaw family went to court with his wife Jessie Xue by his side, to be charged with paying for sex with an underage girl.
He was among four men who were charged yesterday, joining 44 other men who were charged on Monday, for having paid sex with the same girl.
Forty-one-year-old Shaw, a former Singapore Environment Council (SEC) executive director, allegedly had sex with the girl on Oct 30, 2010, in Hotel 81 Bencoolen.
Shaw and his wife got married last November, and were featured on the cover of Singapore Tatler in February for a feature on \"Great Romances\". They met six years ago when she was participating in a Miss Earth pageant and he was training and judging contestants.
Madam Xue appeared calm as she sat next to her husband in the Subordinate Courts yesterday, but left quietly on her own after he was charged.
Described by Shaw as level-headed and patient in the magazine article, she declined comment yesterday, telling The Straits Times only that she was \"very sad\" about the whole affair.
Her husband, an SEC employee for 15 years and a third-generation descendant of Shaw Organisation co-founder Runme Shaw, appeared upset during the entire hour he spent in the Subordinate Courts. He tripped over his words when answering District Judge Lim Tse Haw's question about whether he had surrendered his passport for bail.\"\"
I dunno also I saw it in the news -
MummySTay:
Good advice while d gag order is in place for duration of trial.According to today's \"Today\" newspaper,
\"The gag order, which prohibits the publication of any details that could lead to the identification of the girl, also applies to members of the public.\"
I am a little concerned becos the earlier links provided by some of our forummers may very well have revealed the girl's identity.
Let's exercise some caution when mentioning the girl.
Whilst some of u may be tempted to share dis info, dis is not d right time.
U may discuss about her, but no names n pix please. -

Going by reports, d young are starting younger these days.
Males r wired differently fr women.
Can only suggest close monitoring n inculcating right set of values.
