In a startling revelation reported by Shin Min Daily News, an email tip-off received on October 17 has unveiled an alleged affair involving a vice-principal and a parent from the school community. The email contained intimate photographs of the vice-principal alongside the purported parent, as well as screenshots of their conversations, raising serious concerns about the nature of their relationship.
Following the tip-off, Shin Min reached out to a woman who identified herself as the vice-principal’s wife. She disclosed that she had become aware of the affair around the same time as the news broke. The wife expressed her distress, stating that she had suspected something was amiss for several months but only recently confirmed her fears. She claimed that the affair had been ongoing for approximately a year and a half.
Among the evidence presented in the email were screenshots of an Instagram story featuring the two individuals embracing, captioned with a message of gratitude from the vice-principal to the parent. However, when Shin Min attempted to contact the Instagram account, it appeared to have been deactivated. Additionally, the screenshots included explicit messages exchanged between the two, revealing an agreement to maintain their connection without severing ties.
One undated WhatsApp message indicated that the pair had spent a day together visiting one of their “dad’s houses,” enjoying coffee at Hougang Mall, and watching the film “I Am the Secret in Your Heart.” The wife further revealed that her husband had attempted to destroy evidence of the affair by smashing his phone, and she had even posted images of jewelry he had given to the parent on her Facebook page.
As the news of the affair circulated among the school’s parent group, many expressed their shock and disbelief. One parent described the vice-principal as a friendly figure who often greeted others, making the allegations all the more surprising. Although the school has yet to issue an official statement, it has been noted that the vice-principal’s name has been removed from the school’s website, a detail that Shin Min has confirmed.
In light of the unfolding situation, the Ministry of Education (MOE) has acknowledged the matter and confirmed that the vice-principal has submitted his resignation. As the community grapples with the implications of this scandal, the vice-principal’s wife remains uncertain about her next steps, having filed a police report regarding the affair. The emotional toll of the situation is evident, as she navigates the complexities of betrayal and the impact on her long-standing marriage of over 30 years.
MOE: “The individual has tendered his resignation and is currently on leave. Meanwhile, the school will continue to actively monitor staff and students’ wellbeing and provide the necessary support.”
