The National University of Singapore, one of Singapore’s oldest universities known for its academic reputation, has come under fire for its handling of sexual abuse cases on campus.

According to an official report published by the National University of Singapore, complaints against sexual misconduct peaked in 2019 at 25 cases, almost doubling the number in 2018.

While the university has repeatedly reassured its students that the school will adopt a tougher stance against sexual misconduct, many students and survivors find these measures inadequate.

A recent graduate spoke to VICE World News about the school’s handling of her case, and how she was subjected to lie detectors and harsh interrogation during the investigation process. VICE World News reached out to all parties involved, but did not receive a response from the National University of Singapore and Dr Jeremy Fernando at the time of publication. The Singapore Police Force responded with no comments to our request for a statement, citing confidentiality reasons.
