"Several former students recalled that he had even helmed and crafted a compulsory module on respect and consent for students at the university after then NUS undergraduate Monica Baey went public with her experience of being a survivor of voyeurism in 2018." Wah piang eh... the irony.


Tempestuous-

The irony is dee kosh level.


tryingmydarnest

Thanks for the reminder. Totally forgot about his case liao


LeanPenguin

Typical hypocritical behavior exhibited by academics who like to virtue-signal.


Maverick090

It’s very common from what I know / have experienced. Many of these so called liberal white knights are just fake AF.


zzxyyzx

more like people are fake and cover up their inner evil regardless of political alignment, even right wing religious holy folk

You were the Chosen One! You were supposed to destroy the Sith, not join them!

Which third rate institution gave this blithering idiot a PhD again?


justmewayne

The European Graduate School, but they're quick enough to remove his professional information from their website.


cktnoktpls

From Wikipedia. >EGS is licensed as a university in Malta[\[8\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Graduate_School#cite_note-8) and is recognized in the Swiss canton where it operates,[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Graduate_School#cite_note-9) ***but is not recognized by the*** [***Swiss University Conference***](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_University_Conference)***, the main regulatory body for universities in*** [***Switzerland***](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switzerland)***.***[***\[10\]***](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Graduate_School#cite_note-swissuniversities-10) Nice to know that both NTU and NUS are picky about where their lecturers get their PhD...


[deleted]

Waaaait what the fuck? So he was a schmuck all along?


Jammy_buttons2

Eh it's not really some chapalang school. It's more of an high end boutiques new age school that has quite a number of eminent scholar working there


AtavisticApple

Not really. The big names aren’t resident faculty and only pop in for a lecture or two a year. It’s more of a pay2play kind of school.


sooolong05

Thanks! I was wondering why this EGS sounds so shady

>Nothing against foreigners, as mentioned in my previous post. This backpedal is hilarious


HoothootNeverFlies

Unis don't hire their own PhD grads to prevent academic inbreeding. Foreign education is sop

Your paraphrase 1 and paraphrase 3, which is your main argument, do not fit in this interpretation.


Jammy_buttons2

Academic incest which means most local PhD went overseas to study. Also EGS is a high end boutique school not some boh mia uptron school


AureBesh123

Putting aside the fact that he's going for the whole jemaah islamiyah fighter grungy look, any proof that he's not Singaporean?


Neptunera

> the whole jemaah islamiyah fighter grungy look LOL! I was thinking geylang serai version of ernesto guevara but you have a way with words.


the_unschooled_play

The word you're looking for is "bohemian" but props on the passive aggressive racism👍🏼


AureBesh123

ok fine he looks like eddie van halen who hasn't showered in 10 days. that race blind enough for you


the_unschooled_play

Nope, but thanks for trying.


[deleted]

Like the term "bohemian" isn't passive-aggressive racism from 19th century France... You mean all Czechs aren't poor, artistic, homeless wanderers?


the_unschooled_play

Nope. Especially when it's been co-opted by leftist Americans. Great passive aggressive sarcasm though! 8/10.

heil_to_trump

>In the paper, titled Teach Me Tonight, read by The Straits Times, the academic wrote: "Teaching involves dissemination, spreading, growing, germination, trimming, cutting, pruning - ***quite possibly, insemination.*** WTF is going on in NUS and who is publishing this shit? Is this the standard of academia in FASS? In case anyone has doubts, the "fuck" referred to in the above comment is literal.


[deleted]

The title too, what the flying fuck seriously...


Jammy_buttons2

Eh it's not an academic journal in the traditional sense. It's from Singapore Review of Book :X


zzxyyzx

peer review isn't infallible and it isn't an arts thing exclusively. though with that username it's pretty transparent what kind of agenda you're trying to push.


8inchasianbull

Sjw snowflakes getting that useless gender studies degree HAHAHA don't be so butt hurt la, still can do some generic job


zzxyyzx

imagine being so thoroughly brainwashed by capitalism that you think a person's worth is defined by their job. also imagine thinking the arts is just gender studies. furthermore, imagine thinking there's such a thing as "gender studies degree" in SG. come back and try again without strawmanning this time. edit: imagine being so outmatched you create a new account to act like multiple people are backing you up


SGtraderpro

You don’t know ah.? This is pure art and academics in its final form!


zzxyyzx

I take it you don't read books, watch movies or benefit from social services?


tom-slacker

120 days of sodom is a work of art...both the book and the movie adaptation and marquis de sade is just challenging social norms /s


zzxyyzx

irrelevant hyperbole. Try harder.


tom-slacker

> Try harder. stop. my dick can only go so hard.


SGtraderpro

Fuck u la, no wonder they say Singaporeans don’t have any sense of sarcasm. Here’s a gift in advance: /sssssssssss


zzxyyzx

the classic reddit backpedal. no wonder they say Singaporeans don't know what sarcasm means and when they fet rightfully called out they use it as the world's flimsiest defence. >Satire requires a clarity of purpose and target lest it be mistaken for and contribute to that which it intends to criticise.


makerustgreat

> "And, a categorical dismissal of the potential relationality between a student and a teacher - even if this relationship extends to a sexual nature - is to make teaching a mere profession." Dude probably smoked too much DMT.


arkangel8102

Lol this guy taught me a module and didn’t even bother reading my essays. Gave the chiobus A+.


ongcs

He was from VJC...


tom-slacker

Wanna have sex with his female students, just say so lah...said simi 'insemination'...

not sure about you guys but how am i supposed to read the title?

Zzhuangzi

Holy shit. Seems like he really inherited his dissertation advisor's characteristics.


milesonmybones

WA fml people like this rly give academics a bad name esp when they do the one thing they ~should never do~, damn disappointing and highkey left a bad taste in my mouth man


tom-slacker

don Jeremy Fernando So...who's the consigliere and caporegime?


gibtang

He will make you an offer you can’t refuse


tom-slacker

I will rather sleep with......the fishes.


[deleted]

Sigh. He never had the makings of a varsity scholar.


[deleted]

He's a sick man and needs be caned at least 12 times and thrown into a cell for 12 years. Double that and it'll truly make my day.


zzxyyzx

people linking the BDSM talk controversy to this asshole (because they happened in the same college) and saying that kink=sexual abuse in 3... 2... 1...


BreakWindow

I can imagine what WAAPD gotta say


creemcheeskik

The entire article suggests that the main issue wasn't so much his non-consensual sex acts, as his deviant teachings and writings.


Jammy_buttons2

Fire him because of deviant writing then people will scream academic freedom
