I wasn't suprised that the newspaper played a huge part in contributing to his high profile success. He was featured in the newspapers a few time and whatever he said, it was published without any question. He wouldn't have landed himself in this hot soup if he hasn't over step his confidence that the Education Ministry wouldn't rebut his claims. Reminds me of Durai from the NKF. Now that the truth is finally out, I am sure alot of parents are angry with him, after paying all those high tuition fees. This explains why, taking a leaf from my old bad experiences, that I am always a staunch propagandist to parents to personally check on the credentials of the tutors who will be coaching their children. If any tuition agencies or centre act sheepishly and suggested otherwise, you will know something is fishy lurking underneath. Good tutors are like GEMS. When you are lucky to have one, make sure you don't give them away. They are usually booked months ahead.
If parents do not share GEMS, I would not have known about the tutors for all children's enrichment lessons. I must thank parents who have been generous in KSP. -

He probably got caught up in his own lies and when no one outed him his lies just grew bigger and bigger. I would love to interview his mother to see if she really told him he was from GEP and that he went to ACS.Actually he is very daring to do it in the public. I wonder where he is from. All these years no one really uncover his \"secret\". Surely during one of these public interviews, one of his classmates must have seen and say \"Isnt this guy attended XYZ Pri Sch with me, sitting next to me, and catching the long kang fish after sch with me?\"
Surely, someone would have recognised him as a pri or sec or uni classmates, etc. Really strange, i really dont know where he's from. -

Agree with you, as a parent, sometimes at a loss of what to do, KSP has been a blessing. There are really many generous parents in this forum! -

No point interviewing the mother. Most mothers will try to protect their children. May be the mother will \"act blur\" too. His father told me that school is ACS and we change because he got into GEP.

Then interview father. The father will say.... my mother tell me so. The grand may have dementia by now or may not be around any more to be interviewed -

Didn't leh. She's too busy explaning to her son how he wasn't from the various schools to answer her phone. :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

it is absurd why can’t MOE just check the record and say which school he was really from?

I'm amazed that parents are willing to part with that much money for so called GEP training.

You can report to Case and also make a PC.
If an advert has misled you into paying for certain services, there are grounds for a refund. Its like if you consulted a doctor specialist and was charged for the consultation/service bec he is a specialist and later found out that he is actually not a specialist. The lawyers in this forum may advise you better.
