The text in brackets were my prompts, explanations and examples for my interviewees. I had also mentioned the list of punishments to the interviewees to give them a better idea on how to answer question 4.

Tertiary students disagree with the actions Monica Baey took

Name/age/school of interviewee: Sarah Tay, School of Applied Science

Date/time/location of interview: 11 July 2019, 11 am, benches at School of Applied Science

Q1. Hi, my name is Chloe and I’m from CMM. Is it possible to ask you a few questions for my journalism assignment? Sure Q2. Can I get your name, age and school? Sarah Tay from the School of Applied Science Q3: Are you aware of the Monica Baey incident? What are your opinions on it? Uh. I think that she is very brave. If you get sexually assaulted and you stand up for yourself, the victim shaming will be quite strong in a lot of situations and its very brave to talk so boldly and openly about it despite the backlash she knew would becoming. Q4: Do you think that the punishments and measures inflicted on the perpetrator were enough? No. It’s definitely not. What do you think should have been done instead? Uh, he should have at least been suspended. (NUS also has this policy of two strikes and you’re out for sexual misconduct cases). The punishment for the first strike should be more severe so that he won’t do it again. Q5: Do you agree with the way that Monica Baey handled the situation? Maybe not revealing his name.But, uh… (Like making the public aware of the case?) The public should definitely be aware of the case. But the thing about revealing his name, I’m not really too sure about my stance on that, I haven’t really thought it through. But at this point, I think it’s getting less about the perpetrator itself and more about how NUS handled the case. In that case, I think she should shout it out as loud as possible.

Name/age/school of interviewee: Bryan Sim, 17, School of Business

Date/time/location of interview: 11 July 2019,11.10am, School of Business, outside LT19

Q1. Hi, my name is Chloe and I’m from CMM. Is it possible to ask you a few questions for my journalism assignment? Okay Q2. Can I get your name, age and school? I’m Bryan Sim, 17, from School of Business Q3. Are you aware of the Monica Baey incident? What are your opinions on it? No. (It’s the sexual misconduct case in NUS). Oh, that Monica-yeah. Uh. It’s bad. Q4. Do you think that the punishments and measures inflicted on the perpetrator was enough? I feel like this kind of case should have immediate expulsion. But then it’s the school policy. ( To be more exact, the school has a second strike and you’re out policy on sexual misconduct cases) You know how they say that people deserve second chances? If you were the one that did it, you would also want a second chance right? So yeah, I feel like its okay. Q5: Do you agree with how Monica Baey handled this situation? It’s too much. Mentioning the perpetrator’s name alone, his reputation will be ruined, now a lot of people know, so his future will be affected. Sorry, what is the question again ( repeats question) I mean its normal, what happened, someone filmed her in the toilet, right? (Yes, while showering) . I mean she was the victim, of course, she will react this way, but I feel like she reacted too much.

Name/age/ school of interviewee: Jin Yun. Lin, 17, School of IIT

Date/ time/location of interview: 11 July, 12.30pm, School of Business, Biz Park

Q1. Hi, my name is Chloe and I’m from CMM. Is it possible to ask you a few questions for my journalism assignment? Sure Q2. Can I get your name, age and school? I’m Jin Yun Lin, 17, from the School of IT Q3. Are you aware of the Monica Baey incident? What are your opinions on it? Not really. (Are you aware of the NUS peeping Tom case?) Yes, I’ve heard of it Do you have any opinions about it? I feel disgusted, to be honest. Like, as a boy, you really shouldn’t do it, you should conduct yourself properly. Q4. Do you think that the punishments and measures inflicted on the perpetrator was enough? It depends on the person receiving it though, if he is willing to change then I think that the punishment should be enough for him but if he is not willing to change after all these punishments, then I think it’s not really effective. (Reports have said that he is feeling reflective and remorseful after what he did, so do you think it will have an effective impact on him? ) I hope it does. Q5: Do you agree with the way that Monica Baey handled the situation? I don’t think so. If you publicise it, other people will get involved. Now, with the internet and everything, people can search the perpetrator and attack him. It’s a bit unfair in a sense. If you have an issue you should just bring it up to the police or somewhere.
