女学生遭同学私刑：ACJC girl gets tied up and tortured… by friends “celebrating” her birthday
I am seldom surprised by ragging photos or videos, having been sanitised via my own experiences. Coming from an all-boys secondary school and having been through NS, I seen my fair share. However the screen grabs below from two ragging videos I saw on youtube truly disturbed me. In the past, there were no digital camera or camcorder to record down the process, but with the advent of technology, such activities are often recorded and the videos or photos end up online, causing further humiliation to the victims.
The two videos mentioned are particularly shocking to me because of two factors. First of all, the perpetrators are practically all females, with a few boys in the background cheering. I never knew women are into such cruelty as well. Second, it occurred in bright daylight at a crowded school canteen – where everybody can see! The poor victim was tied to a chin-up bar and attacked mercilessly. All in the name of “celebrating” her birthday.
The school where all these took place is a well-reputed school – Anglo-Chinese Junior College (ACJC). (No point in concealing the school’s identity as the uniform of the students involved is obvious)
- Female bullies
When the poor victim was first grabbed by her group of “friends”, she protested that she was wearing a skirt and may zaogeng. Instead of letting her go, they forced her to put on her PE shorts. The victim was then dragged unwillingly from the crowded canteen to a nearby chin-up bar to be tied up for the ensuing ritual.
- Forced to put on PE shorts
When she shouted for them to stop, they took a masking tape and stuck it over her mouth. A girl even hit her on the forehead to pin her down.
- “Shut her up!”
When she started crying… they smashed her face with cakes and poured milk over her head. Quite a few times, her PE shorts was exposed in the struggle as her skirt was tugged upwards.
- Got milk?
When she said she cannot see because the grue got in her eyes, they poured water over her and threw more icky foodstuff at her face.
- “Enjoy this!”
Then, ironically… they circled around her and sang her a birthday song,. The group was laughing merrily all the way, seemingly oblivious to their friend’s sorry state. WTF????? There was even a girl who had the cheek to ask the victim if she is “happy or not”!
- Left on her own
After all these, they walked away, leaving the wet and dirty victim begging for mercy with her hands tied to the poles, seated in an awkward position. To make things worse, the entire process is recorded down and the video is even uploaded onto youtube. If the victim was my sister or girlfriend, I will report the whole incident to the police as a molestation case. This is seriously demeaning. I mean… I can understand wanting to sabo your friend on her birthday, but obviously, the line of decency has be crossed here. Did the perpetrators even stop for a moment to think how they themselves would feel if they were in the victim’s shoes? To get tied up in public; risking upskirt exposure; have food and milk smashed all over you; worse of all – have the entire humiliating video uploaded online for the world to see.
What is wrong with our youths these days?
Previously, I blogged about how I came across a series of videos uploaded by a bunch of St Andrew’s boys spanking their friend’s butt and attacking his crotch. I do not know if their videos came to the attention of the school authorities or the boys grew up and felt guilty over what they have done to their friend – all the videos have been removed from youtube.
I hope this poor girl’s videos get deleted too asap. I won’t be providing the URL links to the videos. Don’t email me to ask. I hope the relevant school authorities will look into the matter and punish those involved accordingly.
Update: Since the videos have already been deleted, I can reveal more information – the video was actually titled in CAPS: “XXXXX GOT DESTROYED” and was tagged under “loser”. Would friends do this to each other?

I was a teacher there few years back…
And was one of the disciplinary teachers too…
Too bad this didn’t happen when I was there…
And this is really what the chinese saying means, literally: 把快乐建筑在别人的痛苦上。
Wonder what action the school will take…
How would you have disciplined these students if you caught them?
why there is no teachers to stop them when this is happening
This is totally crazy! Out of control. There is something wrong with the education. There is really a serious lack of empathy in some young ppl these days. Maybe they are over protected, and thought that they are e ‘biggest’. This reflects an overpowerful esteem in youths. Serious lack of moral education!
as a student myself, i graduated from another jc last year.. it’s really shocking to see such acts from this school! i mean, lack of control, discipline, and empathy.. even if it’s just a birthday prank, this is way over the limit.. why didnt anyone stop those ridiculous KIDS? i pity that girl.. and if i were around, i will definitely stop them no matter what!

whatts is the name of the video in youtube ?
Such birthday abuse should be and must be banned.
Such behaviour is cruel,primitive like wild animals.
Birthday persons should be given high respects, other than cutting of cake, singing of birthday songs, such abuse must be banned.
Those who give out the abuse should be jailed, fined or send for mental check up in the mental insititute and their parents should be issued with warning letters.

i think you adults need to stop acting all altruistic and saintly; your actions that have yet to show are but hypocrisy and contradictory to your verbal tantrums. I come from that JC, and i know what the ‘breed’ of us are like. Feign not knowledge of what had happened, and twist not the already blasphemous words of subjective reporters. GROW UP.
How would you feel if you were in her shoes. All those horrible things being done to you! What were her ‘friends’ thinking? If I was her, I wouldn’t ever go to school again! Let alone be those jerks friends.
If who ever did this can see this comment, here’s what I say to them:
YOU GUYS AREN’T FRIENDS YOUR BULLIES AND YOU SHOULD BE PUT IN JAIL FOR SUCH A CRIME
