SINGAPORE - She took her O-level examinations twice as a teenager, but failed to obtain a passing grade for her English Language paper on both occasions. Angela Zhong Anqi, 43, got a D7 grade for the subject both times after taking the exams in 1996 and 1997. Despite this, she applied to be the principal of Al-Amin Pre-school (Tampines) Kindergarten and submitted documents that included a fake O-level certificate. On Feb 13, 2019, Al-Amin submitted an online application to the Early Childhood Development Agency (ECDA) to register her as a centre principal. Zhong was caught after the agency conducted checks in 2019 and discovered that four of her documents could not be verified. An ECDA manager alerted the police on June 7, 2019. On Thursday, Zhong pleaded guilty to two forgery charges and was sentenced to two weeks’ jail. Deputy Public Prosecutor Wong Shiau Yin said the ECDA serves as the regulatory and developmental agency for the early childhood education sector in Singapore. It is an autonomous agency jointly overseen by the Ministry of Education (MOE) and the Ministry of Social and Family Development. Read more
