The prosecution had not objected to a S$10,000 fine, but the judge found that a jail term was warranted due to the aggravating nature of the case.

SINGAPORE: A 42-year-old woman was on Thursday (Nov 13) sentenced to jail for lying about her address so her daughter could be enrolled in a well-known primary school, instead of a fine that was sought by the prosecution.

The judge found that a jail term was warranted due to the aggravating nature of this case, including the calculated way that the woman had carried out her deception and her "selfish motives".

After hearing her sentence of one week's jail on Thursday (Nov 13), the woman asked the judge to give her another chance, saying she really could not go to jail and that her daughter needed her.

The woman cannot be named as the court imposed a gag order protecting the identity of her daughter, who is a minor. The gag order extends to the name of the school.

The woman had pleaded guilty in September to one charge each of giving false information to public servants and giving false information when reporting her change of address. A third charge was considered in sentencing.

THE CASE

The court heard that the woman lived mostly with her partner and her eight-year-old daughter at another address.

She owned a Housing and Development Board flat, which she had been leasing out for about two years from 2023 to tenants.

During the 2023 Primary 1 registration exercise, the woman enrolled her daughter at the school via priority admission based on the distance of their home to the school.

She used the address of the flat she was renting out, as it was within a 1km radius of the school.

A school administrator later alerted the vice-principal that the woman had sent an email about changing her address to her partner's address.

As the partner's address was outside the radius for priority admission, the school personnel informed the accused that they were allowed under Ministry of Education (MOE) rules to transfer the child to another school.

The woman then said she would remain at her flat, although she had not been staying there.

The school began investigating and sent staff members for house visits to the woman's declared address.

They found only the tenants at home, and the offender began repeatedly contacting the real estate agents representing the tenants to instruct the tenants to state that she and her daughter stayed at the flat.

She asked them to conceal the occupancy of the flat with measures like closing all the windows, and continued to lie to the school management about where she stayed.

JUDGE IMPOSES JAIL INSTEAD OF FINE

On Thursday, District Judge Sharmila Sripathy-Shanaz said education holds an exalted place in Singapore's society, and that few decisions stir parental instinct or stir as much hope, anxiety and resolve as those relating to a child's schooling.

No name and picture easily fake news.
What gag order or minor, it is never our problem so mainstream media needs to stop spreading fake news

Everyone should send their kids to a neighbourhood primary school which takes less than ten minutes to walk to and to get home from. You'll save a lot of time, money and hassle.

The only disadvantage of neighbourhood primary schools: the PAP regime likes to demolish or 'merge' them while claiming there are not enough students (bold-faced lie), the alumni of neighbourhood schools have almost no money or influence to resist this. Be prepared to kiss goodbye any childhood memories you have made in neighbourhood schools.

Who says all schools are equal? Opps
