It is a pity that in Singapore, investigations surrounding sexual misconduct tends to take the "guilty until proven innocent" approach. And suspending the duties of persons under investigation is just erring on the side of caution. Sorry to hear of your predicament.

I heard there used to be a male teacher who was cleared of similar charges a few years after said incident. At that time of the news, he was no longer a teacher. What I really felt was unjust was there were no further reports on whether there was an official apology from
MOE, or some form of compensation for these accusations which ruined his career.
