It is ironic that Grace Quek is not only from Singapore, infamous for its censorship laws, but also from one of the city-state's top all-girl secondary schools as well as a product of its "gifted" streaming programme. In other words, Grace Quek is one of the top 1% of her cohort in terms of intellect.

One can therefore imagine the controversy when The New Paper, arguably Singapore's most prolific tabloid, published the news of her infamous feat in 1996 - one year after it happened.

She is also a self-proclaimed nymphomaniac.
