SINGAPORE – A school principal from Hong Kong has resigned days after he was seen swearing at security guards while on a school trip in Singapore.
Mr Lee Cheuk Hing tendered his resignation as principal of San Wui Commercial Society Secondary School on May 28, the South China Morning Post (SCMP) cited school manager Edmund Wong Chun Sek as saying.
The Hong Kong-based English-language newspaper reported that the school’s board of directors would have to meet to decide whether to accept the resignation, given the many factors involved.
In an interview with another Hong Kong media outlet, Dotdotnews, Mr Lee said: “I should have set a good example. No matter what the situation is, I should have remained calm and restrained.”
He added he had failed to do so, and would reflect on his actions. He also urged students not to emulate him, according to Dotdotnews.
Mr Lee also made a public apology to the public in Hong Kong and Singapore.
A video of Mr Lee’s apology, uploaded to Dotdotnews’ YouTube channel, drew mixed reactions from netizens.
