The Straits TimesThe principal of a Kinderland pre-school at the centre of a storm involving allegations of child abuse by a teacher has been removed from the post and barred from participating in activities relating to children.

Mr Seet added that Kinderland’s management viewed the videos only on Monday, the same day they first surfaced online. In response to parents who said Ms Mahirah had downplayed the alleged abuse incidents, Mr Seet told ST: “Under the circumstances and stress, her communication with parents may have been vague, but it was never her intention to downplay or cover up.”

, Mr Seet said it was not the company’s intention to restrict the use of personal cellphones to stop whistle-blowers. Priority, he added, will be given to the branch where the alleged abuse by Lin took place, and another branch in Choa Chu Kang where a 48-year-old teacher is under police investigation for voluntarily causing hurt against someone who is under 14.. This plan has been in the pipeline since 2022.

“Teachers are expected to calm the child, find out how he is feeling, counsel him and raise feedback to parents. The use of timeout is a last resort, and its duration depends on the child’s age – two minutes for a two-year-old, for example.”
