NONE

A couple of months back, a friend brought a news article to my attention. The case featured turned out to be about a serial molester who victimized 9 young girls - ranging from age 9 to 14 - over a period of 16 months. Aggravated molest, sexual assault, and attempted rape. Not only did he grope them and outraged their modesty, but also forced them to perform OS.

The name is unfamiliar, but apparently, we graduated, well, sort of, from the same course. We had the same modules for our fundamental year. This man is someone whom we had once shared the same LTs throughout the whole of year 1 in poly.

After doing some googling to get a clearer picture of what the whole case is all about, I was totally shocked. And yes, he looks kind of familiar.

Apparently, he topped the class several times, had clinched a number of scholarships and awards, and was second-in-command in his section during NS days.

Recently, this case is in the news again. Apparently, the appeal against the 32-years sentence and 24 strokes of cane is not successful. He's only 23 this year.

While googling, I stumbled upon numerous blogs and forums which had "broadcasted" this news article. Reading all the nasty comments and vicious remarks, it's kind of damping. Of course, truth be told, if it were any of my kids whose modesty got outraged, my anger would certainly not be any lesser. But, still, when words of such nature are targeted at someone whom you sort of "know", it's...

I don't know. Lately, I've been at quite a loss to aptly describe feelings.

Won't be putting in my two-cents worth regarding this case. There are none.
