Innocent teacher: Hold students accountable
AS A former student of Mr William Ding, I feel as relieved as he must have felt when he was acquitted of all molestation charges.

While he has finally enjoyed justice, the boys who accused him of molestation should be held accountable for their actions.

They have ruined Mr Ding's promising teaching career and reputation.

If the boys are let off lightly, it will certainly send a wrong message, especially towards the education community, that students are allowed to accuse their teachers with impunity.

Students should be held accountable for their actions and words and treat teachers with respect and dignity.

A public apology should be conveyed to Mr Ding from the boys for causing him much mental and physical trauma for the past three years.
