Birthdays should be joyous occasions (even if it’s a school day). But one 11-year-old had her special day ruined when several classmates gave her a scathing note calling her “stupid” and “ugly”.

The students involved will be disciplined, the Ministry of Education (MOE) said on March 10 after a Twitter thread by the victim’s older sister went viral, prompting netizens to call for action to be taken.

The bullying incident at Mee Toh School first came to light when the victim’s sister took to Twitter to express her frustration at the situation on March 6.

She wrote: “My heart broke today, it was my sister’s birthday yesterday and one of her classmates threw this to her face as ‘birthday present’ [sic].”

The tweet was accompanied by pictures of a note addressed to her sister.

In the note, the bullies called her sister “stupid and dump [sic]” and told her she looked “so ugly”.

This was not the first time her sister had been bullied, she added.

In a text exchange, the girl revealed that the bullies had also likened her to a dustbin.
