A 23-year-old National University of Singapore undergraduate, Terence Siow Kai Yuan, was sentenced on Sep. 25 to 21 months of supervised probation and given 150 hours of community service for molesting a 28-year-old woman on Sep. 12, 2018, on the North East Line MRT.

Ever since the news broke, the outrage and memes started coming and they won't stop coming.

As with all good cases that cause widespread outrage in Singapore, the fight for justice and potentially different outcomes was then taken to Wikipedia.

Wikipedia edit war

On Sep. 27, 2019, the "Academic grading in Singapore" Wikipedia page was edited to include an entirely new section under "Universities".

This new section, in clear reference to the latest NUS undergraduate molester case, said:

Universities

Students whose grades are above the culumulative average point (CAP) of 4.35 and above can get a Get out of jail card, that entitles smart offenders to go through counselling instead of being sent to prison, on their first criminal offence.

It was previously reported that the NUS undergrad perpetrator has a CAP score of 4.39.

During his sentencing, this was one of the factors the judge took into account, which eventually led to Siow not being jailed and receiving probation instead.

"Universities" section didn't exist previously

Previously, the Wikipedia page did not include the mention of "Universities".

The education levels spanned primary schools to polytechnic level:

1 Primary schools

1.1 Primary 1 to 4[1]

1.2 Primary 5 to 6 standard stream

1.3 Primary 5 to 6 foundation stream

2 Secondary schools

2.1 Overall grade

2.2 GPA and MSG

2.3 N(A) levels grades

2.4 N(T) levels grades

2.5 O levels grades

3 Junior college level (GCE A and AO levels)

4 Polytechnic (diploma)

Edit history

The edit history showed that the Wikipedia page was tampered with on Sep. 27, and amended back to the original on Sep. 28.

It was tampered again on Sep. 28, and changed back to the original on the same day.

As of this time of writing, the "Universities" section is no longer available.

But it could be put back up anytime, as this is an open source encyclopedia.
