Or is this only practice at NUS Law? Must Ask Remy Choo..... :p
When asked why he didn't declare the gifts from his former student, National University of Singapore law professor Tey Tsun Hang, 41, claimed it was “common” in the campus for students to give professors gifts.
Miss Darinne Ko, 23, had given Tey - who faces six charges of corruptly obtaining gifts and sex from her - “gifts of love” including a Mont Blanc pen, two CYC tailored shirts and an iPod.
When pressed for an answer by Deputy Public Prosecutor Andre Jumabhoy in the sex-for-grades trial yesterday, Tey said: “I myself received a lot of gifts. My colleagues received a lot of gifts too, from students.
“None of us would ever think that that was somehow a student trying to bribe the professor.”
