A Northland Secondary School student was seen smoking in his PE uniform under a HDB block, at a void deck.
The video has since been circulated widely on Instagram by @xiaoypofsingapore.
The little boy could be seen smiling and posing for the camera.
Northland Secondary has since said that they are disappointed in the student and has taken “strict disciplinary actions” against him.
In a conversation with Stomp, Mdm Tan Siew Woon, the principal of the school, said: “The school is very disappointed to see another one of our students smoking. We take a serious view against smoking, and have advised the student concerned on its ill-effects. We have also engaged his parents on the incident, and will be taking strict disciplinary actions against him, including a temporary suspension from school.”
Mdm Tan added that the school will counsel the student as well as “step up efforts to proactively educate all our students about the harmful effects of smoking.”
