SINGAPORE — Thinking that her 10-year-old son would benefit from brain training activities, a single mother enrolled the boy into Genius League, a child learning enrichment centre, in July 2022.
However, on Monday , the 38-year-old, who wishes to be known only as Ms Thong, was shocked to learn through a WhatsApp message from Genius League that it is undergoing liquidation proceedings.
“This is ridiculous, how can they close down without any notice? I lost about S$600 worth of lessons, including a S$200 deposit,” said Ms Thong. “This is my hard-earned money. I am a single mum, I just want what is best for my son.”This is ridiculous, how can they close down without any notice? I lost about S$600 worth of lessons, including a S$200 deposit. This is my hard-earned money. I am a single mum, I just want what is best for my son.
However, Mr Goh’s son was able to attend only six of the 42 lessons that were paid for before the centre’s sudden closure. However, with the centre’s closure, Ms Soon’s son still has 16 lessons yet to be attended, at an estimated value of about S$760. These included frequently absent or sick teaching staff, undertrained administrative staff, as well as unclear terms and conditions and a rushed signup process.
