Teacher and former aide of Dr Ong alleged that the principal "behaved inappropriately" towards him.
He contacted The Straits Times last Thursday and alleged that Dr Ong Teck Chin, former principal of Anglo-Chinese School (Independent) or ACS(I), had "behaved inappropriately" towards him.
He also claimed that he has proof in the form of e-mail, text messages and recordings.
Mr Richard Seow, Chairman of the ACS board of governers, said in a statement yesterday that they were looking into the complaints by the teacher.
The Straits Times reported that the teacher, believed to be in his 30s, was appointed to be Dr Ong's personal aide and worked closely with him last year, when they recruited foreign scholars on overseas trips.
He told The Straits Times he is still with ACS(I), but had not been to work for the past few days.
When contacted by the daily, Dr Ong refused to comment. He stepped down suddenly last weekend in the midst of final examinations, to the shock of staff and students.
Dr Ong is married with three children. He has been the principal of the prestigious boys' school for 16 years since 1994, and has led the school to attaining the Ministry of Education's School Excellence Award in 2004.
He also started the integrated programme for ACS(I) and pioneered the school's International Baccalaureate diploma programme.
