As a religious teacher, he was put in a position of trust for children under his care.
But Muhammad Abdul Gani ill-treated eight children at the Pertapis Children's Home in Kovan Road from 2012 to January last year.
On Thursday, Muhammad, 27, pleaded guilty to four charges of ill-treating his students. On two occasions, he had lifted two boys, aged seven and four, off the floor by grabbing their heads below the ears.
A 10-year-old girl was made to stand on a chair for being noisy during mealtime. He later kicked the chair from behind, causing her to fall to the ground. He also pushed another 10-year-old girl on the mouth, causing her head to hit a cupboard. Muhammad will be sentenced on Oct 13. For ill-treating a child or young person, Muhammad can be fined up to $4,000 or jailed up to four years, or both, for each charge.
