国大偷拍事件:涉事男生遭停职 网络联署逾四万要求严惩

据了解,涉及偷拍风波的男生,已遭其所任职的保险公司大东方勒令停职。 新加坡大东方保险公司,今午透过脸书专页发文表示,理解有关偷拍风波涉及旗下一名财务规划师Nicholas Lim,已命令他停职,而后者也已呈辞。 Nicholas Lim停学期间,到大东方工作。 该公司表示,强烈反对旗下财务规划师,涉及任何不当行为,且会毫不犹豫采取行动。 逾四万人联署 另一方面,在请愿专页change.org,出现两份要求警方重新开档调查涉偷拍国大生、并予以重罚的联署声明,两份联署各获得两万9718人和1万1582人签名支持。 其中一份声明谴责涉及性骚扰者未被严惩,并质疑此次风波不过是院方扫在地毯下的众多个案冰山一角,不愿承认他们无力对付那些利用女同学来满足自己欲望的加害者。 其中一位联署发起人在声明中认为,不应因为出生而对犯同样罪行的人有差别待遇,例如一名外籍工人Manikandan过去因为偷窥而被严惩。但是,即便获得完整教育福利的大学生,若作出同样行为,至少获得应得的惩罚。 对于各界的呼声,国立大学校方也终于同意,在本月25日下午5时,在校内UTown视听室召开对话会,与师生讨论针对应对校内性骚扰问题进行对话,同时校方组成检讨委员会,加入校方和学生会成员商议性骚扰问题对策。
