Montfort Secondary Students Disciplined After Bullying Video Goes Viral

 



In Singapore, Montfort Secondary School has taken disciplinary action against students involved in a bullying incident where a boy was tripped and kicked by his schoolmates. A video of the incident was posted on Facebook on February 22, 2025, and quickly went viral, garnering over 10,000 shares before it was removed by the following night.

In the footage, a group of students was seen approaching the victim from behind. One student tripped him, causing him to fall, while another kicked him twice. As the boy stood up and walked away, another student came from behind and tripped him again. The incident raised concerns about bullying in schools and sparked online discussions.

Montfort Secondary School’s vice-principal, Mr. Wilson Tay, confirmed that the school was aware of the incident and had taken appropriate disciplinary action against those involved. While he did not specify the exact measures taken, he stated that the students had been counseled and their parents were engaged in the process. The students involved reportedly acknowledged their wrongdoing and expressed remorse.

The school emphasized its zero-tolerance policy toward bullying and violence, affirming its commitment to maintaining a safe learning environment for all students. Meanwhile, the police confirmed that a report had been lodged and that they were looking into the matter.

This case is the latest in a string of school bullying incidents that have surfaced in Singapore in recent years. Earlier in 2025, Education Minister Chan Chun Sing addressed the issue in parliament, reiterating that the Ministry of Education (MOE) takes a serious stance against any form of bullying or violence in schools. He also cautioned against vigilantism from adults who may seek to take matters into their own hands.

The minister’s remarks came after two incidents at Admiralty Secondary School gained widespread attention due to viral Facebook posts by relatives of the affected students. One of these cases, reported on January 8, involved a student allegedly assaulting his classmate, leaving the victim with a head wound that required stitches. Police confirmed they were investigating the matter.

In September 2024, another case surfaced when a TikTok video showed a Bukit View Secondary School student being taunted and kicked to the ground at the void deck of an HDB block. The school later confirmed that the incident had taken place in October 2023 and that disciplinary measures had been taken.

A separate case involving a Qihua Primary School student being assaulted by an older boy emerged online around the same time. Five teenagers were later arrested for their suspected involvement in a rioting case related to the incident.

During a parliamentary session in October 2024, Mr. Chan revealed that Singapore schools recorded an average of two bullying incidents per 1,000 primary school students and six incidents per 1,000 secondary school students annually. He noted that these figures had remained steady over the past five years.

Despite measures taken by schools and authorities, bullying remains a pressing issue that demands continued vigilance. Schools are urged to reinforce anti-bullying programs, and students are encouraged to speak up against harassment. Meanwhile, parents and educators play a crucial role in fostering a culture of respect and empathy among youths.
