The National University of Singapore has seen many cases of sexual misconduct and harassment, yet choose to keep it under wraps. Recent cases include Indecent Exposure, Outrage of Modesty and Sexual Assault in the form of attempted rape. However, the university is barely taking action to get justice for these victims. Nicholas Lim, an Outrage of Modesty offender was given a mere 12 months of conditional warning and told to write a compulsory apology letter to victim Monica Baey, who was told by the investigating officer to "accept the outcome".
There are countless other cases of victim's pleas being ignored, and justice not being properly served. If harsher penalties and deterrent measures are not put in place, how will these sexual predators be deterred from committing future offences? If people can get expelled for cheating, why shouldn't such offenders be expelled as well? If NUS refuses to do the bare minimum to keep their students safe, we will take the matter into our own hands. Sign this petition to:
1) have the NUS Administration to delineate clear campus policies that protect students against any form of sexual misconduct, and
2) to establish a proper support system for victims of sexual violence (including outrage of modesty, sexual harassment, sexual abuse, sexual misconduct, sexual assault and indecent exposure)
Details of these two calls to action:
Clear campus policies that protect students against any form of sexual misconduct should be in the form of stricter punishments for perpetrators, wider visibility and transparency of how cases have been handled, and official NUS Code of Conduct on Sexual Crime, and implemented education for students in relation to sexual assault harassment and respectful relationships. We need NUS to take a strong stance against any form of sexual misconduct. We need to see a strict no-tolerance policy to any form of sexual misconduct moving forward.
NUS urgently needs to establish a better network and support system for victims of ALL forms of sexual violence as mentioned above. The mental, psychological and physical trauma of victims are extremely significant and oftentimes long-lasting. The support system should take the form of a one-stop office/centre on campus that provides free services (catered to sexual misconduct victims) which include counselling, legal advice, support groups and befrienders who are professionally trained to provide information and support at hospitals, police stations, and courts (all the services provided at AWARE's Sexual Assault Care Centre). A world-class institution should have world-class physical and mental healthcare services.
Support this cause and sign this petition for the safety of us students and for the justice of all victims.

A sexual predator needs to be given a harsher punishment and be put away - they can have their counselling session in confinement, because they (and other like-minded individuals who intend to commit similar crimes) need to know that there are consequences to their actions. They should not be let off so easily after robbing victims of their dignity and safety.
Do not protect sexual predators. I'm utterly disappointed at how NUS handled the case. I expected more from a university that claims to be world class and progressive, yet when it comes to sexual misconduct NUS proves that it still is very backward and conservative (for what?) When handling cases like this. This is not the first time such incidents have occurred in NUS. The only reason why it keeps occurring is because there is no strong action taken against the perpetrators. Shame on you.
This is such a disappointing matter. Hope NUS will act in a way that befits "the number one university in singapore". How can you ensure the safety of everyone with such a pathetic attempt?
The perpetrator must be punished harshly, including the institution that has been shielding and allowing such outrage to happen.
Sexual predation is an extremely serious yet controversial topic to be brought up. As long as there sre authorities that continue to sweep these indecent acts under the rug, justice will never be served. I am signing this petition not only for myself, but also for the victims and every other potential individual who is vulnerable to sexual predation.

to the board of members in NUS/police of singapore who allowed the perpetrator Nicholas from NUS to walk freely without severe punishment for his heinous act: how would you feel if your daughters/wives/nieces have been sexually violated in any form like Monica Baey? would silencing the victim, issuing a half-assed apology letter & a 12-month conditional warning & keeping the issue on the low suffice to serve justice that the victim deserves? i don't think so. what Nicholas did affected the victim's well-being. she is traumatized. this has put other females on high alert as well. from then on, more & more women will only continue suffering from paranoia because justice was never served. time for a change, stop allowing females live in fear.
