'I was slapped by my teacher': Felicia Chin recounts childhood incident that scarred her

Some childhood memories never go away and they can go on to shape you in your adulthood – the way Mediacorp artiste Felicia Chin’s one particular experience has.

As if the act of slapping wasn’t bad enough, the actress recalled that the female teacher, who meted out the punishment, pulled her cheek all the way back before hitting her. The traumatic episode drove her to study hard so that out of her class’s various groups, she could belong in the top Apple group.

All these behaviors are supported by MOE at that time. I was wrongfully caned for things that I did not do They never know the incident can be inscribed in a person's mermory for a long lifetime.

I was routinely slapped by my English teacher for not doing my homework and being snarky about it. So I never told my folks, and continued not doing my homework. Good trade 😅

My friend’s James Bond bag was thrown out into corridor and spinning like F1 car🤣

CNA should call upon this teacher and award him or her the CNA Teacher of Last Millennium…👏👏👏

This is DISCIPLINE.

Good for you. That's why you are who you are. Unlike those bloody spoiltbrats that you see around the world not just in Singapore.

Um…how many of us were NOT hit with a ruler or bamboo by a teacher growing up…

It is normal during our time. My pri sch teacher slapped me for forgetting to place the chair back to its original place after class. They also pulled our ears for talking in class when there was lesson going on. It's part & parcel of our growing up yrs.

Is ur teacher still around?

Getting slapped by teachers is so normal in India, our teachers were beating up us with wooden stick 😂 😂

Last time teachers can slap cane scream at students and nothing happens to them. Now one wrong word from teachers might get them sacked.

We all were, Felicia...we all were😁

Last time teachers abuse the students. Throw dusters throw chalk. Knock the ruler on students knuckles. Bastards
