Student posts O Level paper on Twitter [By: Rong Hua]

A Student, Xavier Ong took a picture of his O Level Social Studies examination paper with his camera phone and posted it on Twitter last week. In the tweet, Xavier challenged other students to follow what he did and post it in twitter. This action shocked numerous Twitter users. A girl from the United Kingdom even commented on his picture and asks if the action is legit.
He hoped to gain more twitter followers by posting the publicity stunt and also a video to explain how it all happened. However, such attention has only made this teenager's resolve stronger to make more controversial comments.
This article appeal to me because it is known that a cell phone is not allowed to be brought into an examination hall. However, Xavier brought his camera phone in and took pictures of his O level social studies examination paper. Furthermore, he even challenged other students to follow suit in his tweet.
If I am in charge of the situation, I would make sure that Xavier admits to his mistake and make him retake his O level paper to serve as a warning to other students and to prevent any similar incident from happening.
