A Yuying Secondary School student was taken to KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital on 31 Jul 2025 after displaying aggressive behaviour towards a staff member.
Student Exhibits Aggressive Behaviour Before Vape Discovery
The incident occurred at around 3:20pm when the student exhibited aggressive conduct towards a school staff member. Police were contacted for assistance during the situation.
School principal Chong Jack Sheng confirmed the student was subsequently found in possession of an e-vaporiser. The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) transported the student to hospital for observation.
The student is currently well and the school continues to monitor his wellbeing.
HSA Launches Investigation Into Vaping Offence
The Health Sciences Authority (HSA) is investigating the e-vaporiser-related offence following the discovery of the vaping device.
A video of an ambulance at the Hougang school compound was posted on social media on 3 Aug 2025.
The video showed a student exclaiming “He took Kpods ah” during the incident.
The original video has since been deleted, but recordings continue circulating on social media platforms including TikTok.
Rising Concerns Over Kpods Among Singapore Teens
Authorities have been investigating multiple incidents linked to Kpods use among teenagers. Kpods are electronic cigarettes containing vape juice mixed with potent ingredients such as etomidate or ketamine.
Principal Chong emphasised student and staff safety as a key priority. The school takes a comprehensive approach towards preventing and addressing vaping among students, including appropriate disciplinary action and rehabilitation measures.
