  "account": "In 2023, a 45-year-old male teacher was accused of recording a video of a female individual's groin area in a primary school in Singapore. Charges of voyeurism were filed against the man on October 12, but it remains unclear whether the victim was a student or staff member at the institution. The identity of the victim is protected due to a gag order. The teacher was suspended from his duties in June 2026 and is no longer employed in any school.\n\nThe Ministry of Education (MOE) spokesperson addressed inquiries from Mothership, stating that the man had been suspended from his position since June 2026 and is no longer teaching in any school. MOE has a stringent stance on staff misconduct and will not hesitate to take disciplinary action against those who violate their standards of conduct and discipline, which may include dismissal from service. Those found guilty of voyeurism in Singapore face penalties of up to two years in prison, a fine, caning, or a combination of these penalties.",
