The Principal allegedly schemed to help six students cheat during the 2016 O-level examinations by smuggling mobile phones and bluetooth devices into exam halls, where answers were then whispered to them through skin-coloured earphones.

Each of the accused were found guilty of 27 counts of cheating.

Poh Yuan Nie, also known as Pony, was paid $8000 by another Chinese National, Mr Dong Xin to provide tuition to help the students pass their exams and enter polytechnics.

It was not mentioned in court on Tuesday where the students are now.
