Haircut boy's mother responds, says she's disappointed case highlighted



The mother at the centre of a row over a teacher cutting her son's hair has said she is disappointed that the case was highlighted by Education Minister Heng Swee Keat.

In his annual Work Plan Seminar speech last week, Mr Heng cited Madam Serene Ong's complaint to the police about a teacher who cut her son's hair as a reason teachers \"often feel anxious about dealing with demanding parents\".

Responding, the 39-year-old sales manager told The Straits Times: \"Mr Heng didn't even speak to me to understand the entire situation.\"

While it is fine to be criticised by netizens, it is not so when the minister does it, she said.

I can confirm that Serene Ong can make a police report against Minister HSK ..... :evil: :evil:

Wah Piang!!!! HSK didn't speak to her to understand the entire situation??? ...
语不惊人死不休!!!!


Thought she already speak out so thunderously loud and in great detail to ST, Today, Yahoo news.... Guess everyone in Spore knew the story inside out...

Very sad hor............... for the child I mean.


I feel sorry for the child cos everyone knows who his mom is and he can potentially face a lot of pressure... :slapshead:

Maybe he will forget the whole incident ever happen

There is always two sides to a story.


To be fair, both parties should be spoken to before any comments are made.

When our kids quarrel, we parents will also listen to what each child has to say.

In the long term, he will slowly forget but over the short term, not if he is being reminded after each rebuttal his mom made about her actions. Also, it depends on people around him will remind him or not.

Oh suddenly it occurred to me that you might be referring to him wanting to forget badly so he might have a memory loss on this incident?

Wahaha... Ultimate sia... Now Minister HSK also kena... His fault for not calling her... :rotflmao:

The prev Education Minister must be so relieved he is FREE of this portfolio.
But if he stays on as Defence Minister (NEH), he will be the next one to get complaint by the SAME mother.
So does this mean that if any minister wants to quote an example, do not mention names? :evil:

Question: Why does one find it acceptable to be criticized by netizen and not by a minister?
