Yuying Secondary School student found with vape device, taken to hospital after displaying aggressive behaviour towards staff

After a video circulated on Aug. 5 alleging that a Yuying Secondary School student had to be taken to the hospital following the use of a vaping device, the school confirmed that they are aware of the incident.

In response to queries from Mothership, the principal Chong Jack Sheng said the incident took place on Jul. 31.

A student had exhibited aggressive behaviour towards a school staff and the police were contacted for assistance, he said.

The student was subsequently found to be in possession of a vaping device and was brought to the hospital in an ambulance for observation.

Currently, the student is well and the school will be monitoring his well-being.

The Health Sciences Authority is investigating the e-vaporiser-related offence, Chong added.

"The safety of our staff and students is a key priority. We take a comprehensive approach towards preventing and addressing vaping among students, including taking appropriate action for discipline and rehabilitation," he said.

A video of the incident was uploaded to TikTok on Aug. 5.
