Hong Kong principal suspended over Singapore incident


SINGAPORE – A school principal from Hong Kong has been suspended from his position after he was seen swearing at security guards while on a school trip in Singapore.

The principal of San Wui Commercial Society Secondary School in Hong Kong’s Tuen Mun district was suspended from his post because the school board believed that his performance “fell short of public expectations”, said Mr Edmund Wong Chun-sek, a manager of the school.

Speaking to media outlet South China Morning Post, Mr Wong said the management committee reached the decision after hearing evidence on May 26 from the principal and staff who had been on the trip.

The school’s vice-principal will serve as acting principal in the interim, reported Now News.

In an earlier update, the Hong Kong education bureau said it was investigating the principal after he was seen swearing at security guards during a school trip to Singapore, in a video that went viral.
