When the Velvet Rope Is Lowered
It’s chilling, but the legendary rule of Fight Club is holding down your lips: “You do not talk about Fight Club.” Yet, whispers made their way into the Singaporean streets, and voilà – a fence was built on a HDB void deck—quite literally a human roof.
Meet the Cast
- A handful of students from the International French School near Serangoon North.
- Two daring lads who decided their ‘part’ would be boxing gloves and the field of a living room.
- A crowd of about a dozen who turned the space into a mock boxing ring, complete with a safety ring element.
The Footage
A passer‑by recorded 66 heart‑fastening seconds, which then took a trip online. The clip, posted on the “Singapore Incidents” Facebook page, drew an astounding 36,000 views and 61 comments before I could finish this sentence.
Not much going on until the conflict escalated—one punch landed, and the crowd responded with “oohs” and “aahs.” The mutters weren’t overexaggerated; studying a bit of human reaction is far better than studying sitcoms.
The Spectators
Two boxers – one rocking a black uniform, the other in white – displayed a calm‑nothings attitude. There was no braggadocio, no trash‑talk, just the respect that comes from two peers sparring.
Policymakers & Bad Habits
The Facebook post claims that the police were called — but their arrival was a cat‑and‑mouse game. Instead of keeping the scene, the students slipped away to the back of the block and the surrounding car‑park.
If you think this is just a simple melee, don’t be fooled. The same youngsters were spotted vaping and “vandalizing” areas in the vicinity, according to the authorities’ report.
Netizens React!
- “Relax lah, this is not a gang fight. No weapons, no five versus one cowardly street corner gang fights,” said one curious reader. “Kids just playing,” he added.
- Another posted: “Why do we need to meddle in petty matters?” The documentary voice echoes easily here.
At the end of the day, the story reminds us that the world around us is a mash‑up of endearing youths and mischievous class‑acting. Whether they’re hiding in an HDB void deck or offshooting into the car‑park, the more they disappear, the louder the warning about community and civility rings out in our hectic lives.
Unexpected Classroom Brawl Sends Shockwaves Through the International French School
What happened? Two elderly staff members found themselves in a scuffle that turned the calm halls of the International French School (Singapore) into a scene straight out of an action movie. The incident sparked immediate concern among students, parents, and the school community.
The Buzz – Why Everyone’s Talking
- Passengers on the school bus left with a sour taste of “was that really happening?”
- Parents received frantic e‑mails from the police and the school’s administration, asking for updates.
- Local online forums are buzzing with speculation—“Did the fight happen in the cafeteria or the library?”
Behind the Curtain
According to school officials, the altercation was self‑defense sparked by a misunderstanding over teaching duties. Students reported that the old gentleman—now called Mr. Tan—accused his colleague, Mr. Leclerc, of “disrespecting the curriculum.”
How the Incident Unfolded
- First, Mr. Tan confronts Mr. Leclerc on the playground.
- Both intone sharp words and a few theatrical gestures—think “the ultimate face‑palm” moment.
- Within minutes, students scream, “Peace! Stop!” as a kind of moral combat frazzled both men.
- School staff swooped in, persuading them to de‑escalate before the incident finally subsided.
School’s Action Plan
• Immediate response: The school’s Emergency Response Team dispatched a counselor and a senior teacher.
• Coordination with law enforcement: The Singapore Police Force was notified and visited the scene at 10:15 a.m. to document and support a safe environment for subsequent investigations.
• Communication with parents: A confidential email was sent to all parents, offering a personal apology and outlining next steps, including an invitation to a town‑hall meeting.
What Students & Community Must Do
- Stay calm and report any suspicious activity immediately.
- Attend the scheduled parent‑teacher workshop to discuss safety protocols.
- Remember that “only honest, respectful communication wins” in schools of all sizes.
