Teacher sues MOE for her Own Stupidity

[Conqueror]

gentlemen, this is the sort of dumb kancheong teachers that are educating our youth. we are screwed.

Can't she just use the telephone ? :*:

I'm sure the police will also come and notify the janitor or guard at the school, rite ?

Typical kelings that are shameless and of course fat and ugly.

LOL I knew you will appear to give some potshots. She's weird. I think she may be stealing something; and fearing being caught, she tried to leave the building in secrecy. But, she failed badly.

Teacher wins appeal for higher compensation over fall in school
By Kimberly Spykerman | Posted: 03 October 2012 2007 hrs

SINGAPORE : A primary school teacher has won her appeal for higher claims in damages from the Education Ministry over a fall in school in 2006.

In a closed-door hearing on Wednesday, the High Court awarded Madam Sivakami Sivanantham S$250,000 in damages.

The amount is about S$150,000 more than what the court awarded her in June this year.

However, she will collect S$175,000, which is 70 per cent of the amount, as she had admitted that she was partly responsible for her fall.

Her lawyers had appealed three months ago for a higher amount on the basis that she had undergone several operations for her injury and for the loss of promotion prospects.

Madam Sivakami, 41, fractured her right ankle after she fell four metres from a ventilation opening, while trying to escape from a locked building at Zhangde Primary School in 2006.

She had panicked when she found herself locked in and tried to get out by climbing through the ventilation opening.

She was then left hanging by her hands close to four metres above the ground.

When she eventually let go, she fell and fractured her ankle.

Following the incident, she was hospitalised for a week at Singapore General Hospital and was on medical leave for more than a year.

During a five-day hearing in October 2010, the High Court heard that Madam Sivakami still suffers from psychological distress and could remain vulnerable to a relapse if faced with another crisis.

She claimed in her testimony that as a result of the fall, she has not been able to walk normally, play games with her two children or carry them.

SINGAPORE - A primary school teacher has won an appeal for higher damages against the Ministry of Education (MOE) over a fall she sustained in 2006.

On Wednesday, the High Court awarded Ms Sivakami Sivanantham $250,000 in damages, said her lawyer Athithan Perumal.

The amount is more than double the $107,649 that she was awarded in June this year.

Ms Sivakami, 41, will collect 70 per cent of the sum, or $175,000, as she had admitted to being partly responsible for the fall.

In June, her lawyers had appealed for a higher amount on the basis that she had undergone seven operations, and for the loss of future earnings and promotion prospects.

Ms Sivakami found herself locked inside Zhangde Primary School on a Saturday in February 2006 and tried to get out via a ventilation opening.

She fell nearly 4m and fractured her ankle.

She was warded at the Singapore General Hospital for a week, and subsequently was on medical leave for more than a year.

Her lawyers had alleged that the MOE was negligent as it did not ensure that the school provide a safe working environment.
