Recap
The principal of the now defunt Zeus Education Centre Poh Yuan Nie, 54, and two of her tutors, Fiona Poh Min, 33 and Feng Riwen, 28, were convicted in court by District Judge Chay Yuen Fatt on 7 July 2020 after a trial.
The Principal 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.
