“The measures, announced after a government review following two high-profile school bullying incidents, aim to introduce a clearer punishment framework – rather than a case-by-case approach – under which repeat offenders of serious offences can be suspended for five to 14 days.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The core details of the claim—that measures announced after a government review following two high-profile bullying incidents aim to introduce a clearer punishment framework allowing repeat offenders to be suspended for five to 14 days—are present in one web search result. However, the other evidence provided (two Wikipedia entries and one general web search) discuss unrelated topics (Singapore's new towns, general Singapore info, or general bullying advice) and do not corroborate the specific policy details or the source of the policy change. Therefore, the claim can only be confirmed by the single web search result provided.
