There must be strong support for victims of sexual misconduct, from the time they report an incident to post-incident counselling and psychological support, said Second Minister for Education Indranee Rajah in Parliament on Monday (May 6).
She noted that the recent case involving National University of Singapore (NUS) undergraduate Monica Baey, who was filmed in a hostel shower by a fellow student, showed that there were shortcomings in victim support in NUS.
"NUS has acknowledged this and has committed to doing better," said Ms Indranee.

(4) NUS can do better in providing emotional support and counselling to the victim and in bringing forth - how the justice is done, what are mitigating factor and emotional help to the victim - instead of just presenting the remorse letter to the victim.
Without proper explanation to the victim and emphatise with the victim -- the victim will feel that she is not treated fairly - and burst out.
