during a social gathering, has claimed that he offered her alcoholic drinks at her “continued requests”.
Earlier on Monday, NTU said in a statement that it has looked into a complaint filed by the female student of the incident between the two committee members of the university’s Student Union . She told TODAY on Monday that she was already “drunk” at this point, as Mr Ong had given her more alcohol prior to her request.
Mr Ong, a fourth-year business undergraduate, told TODAY that he had offered his hall of residence as a venue for an informal “get-together” as a group with five other SU members following a committee retreat that month. The group continued to chat as the evening progressed, while the female student fell asleep with two female executive members watching and sitting beside her directly, he added.“When she threw up at one point, all of us helped her. When she regained sobriety, we collectively ensured that she got back to her hall safely.”
Mr Ong said that he had fully co-operated with the SU Disciplinary Committee and gave his full account of the events, which later led to a one-month suspension of duties by the union.
