The MOE stated its determination to combat immoral activities at all levels and views the involvement of its officers seriously, with an investigation into the incident underway.

"Immediate action has been taken to ensure that the officers involved are no longer in any educational institution under the MOE until the investigation process is complete.

"All department heads are reminded to increase monitoring and ensure immoral activities are combated at every level," it said in a statement today.
