NUS also suspended him for a semester, ordered mandatory counselling, banned him from Eusoff Hall and told him to write an apology letter to Miss Baey.

"It does send out a stronger message that such behaviour will no longer be condoned. Knowing this might lower the chances of such acts makes me feel a little safer."
