PERSPECTIVE: Lee Chee Khuen, 60, has been an MOE teacher since 1987. In 2009, he chanced upon a job opening for an A-level Principles of Accounting (POA) teaching position in prison.
Since then, he has never looked back. Lee has been teaching N, O and A-level POA, as well as H1 and H2 Economics to inmate students.
The A-level inmate students received their results on Feb. 19.
Three of them qualified to apply for polytechnic, private degree courses and full-time local university courses.
